Condition / Setup Notes
Excellent(+), The guitar remains in beautiful, what I would call collector condition. There are very light signs of handling, swirls and pickwear, but all so minor it requires raking light to see, and could be eliminated with a light buffing. Current string height just over 4/64” to just below 4/64” from bass to treble, with a touch of relief.
***
Rare model Parker Flys, in this kind of condition, are getting scarce. Nearly all the original case candy and accessories are included, even the D’addario string tag; it appears only the original warranty card is missing (which would of course be void by this time). This one is especially rare as one of only 50, and with a particularly nice wood grain that results in a striking two-tone look. As with all Flys, this is a notably lightweight guitar that plays and sounds nicely, with a versatile magnetic / piezo pickup system. This is one for the Fly collector and enthusiast.
