Parker Fly Deluxe Hardtail Stealth Black

2000 Parker Fly Hardtail Stealth Black

This is a rarer variant of the Parker Fly, a Hardtail model named the “Stealth.” What sets it apart is the basswood / basswood combo for the body and neck, along with the textured finish. This one is even more rare in that it is finished in black. Not mentioned often enough, the nuts on these are textured as well in a similar way to the body finish. In beautiful shape and with the original hard case.

Condition / Setup Notes

Very Good(+), It presents fairly cleanly overall, and the surface wear is relatively inconspicuous given the textured finish. The last pictures show example of wear. There's a D-Thing plate that remains under the low E tuner, but doesn't affect function. Electronics are working properly. Currently set up with a low string height, and playing nicely.

***

Not too many of these Stealth models were made, and this one is unique among them in that it is black. It’s also a very nice example of a Parker Fly; notably lightweight, easy playability and versatility of tone between the DiMarzios and the Fishman system. The textured finish looks great on the Fly body, and the neck has a nice feel from the slight texture also. The nut is sculpted in a similar pattern to the body, which is another appealing feature of this model.
