Parker Fly deluxe?

[hopkinWFG]

Howdy !! Just asking is there any Parker fly fans or expert here?

I know I have been very very late on this but the sleek looking guitar still haunts me now when I used to gazed at it on guitar world magazines when I was just starting to learn playing metal and rock...

Now am having much capacity to buy the Parker fly which it brought me back to the time 1996 or 1997 when it caught my eye...

Wondering how thus Parker fly deluxe sound like.... does it have that sterile sound to it? Sound thin ? It does have a Custom pickup route which don't fit in a regular duncan pickup..? Any difference in the tone and feel on pre vs post Parker fly company sell out?

All I know is the Fly Deluxe is still the single easiest-to-play guitar I've ever touched. Been like 20 years since I played one so can't really comment on the tone but the guitar was completely effortless to play

I don't recall which Parker Fly model, but I heard getting replacement parts can be challenging if not impossible; also, some models have issues with fret wire popping out of the fretboard, and fixing the issue is challenging.

Worth looking into to see if the models you like have these concerns?

They're hard to fix, hard to find/replace parts

But they do play fantastic, that's for sure.

Parker is a brand that should be resurrected
