Parker Fly Tulipwood Limited Edition
Parker · 1998
A very rare and very cool pre-refined Parker Fly, a Tulipwood Limited Edition. One of only 50, it is signed and numbered by Ken Parker.
Specs / Measurements
1998
Tulipwood body, translucent green
Basswood neck
Carbon fiber fingerboard / frame
Stainless steel frets
Dimarzio / Fishman pickup system
~1.70” nut
~25.5” string length
~2.17” string spacing at saddle
Original hard case, trem arm, manual, tools, stereo cable, bubble pack, 10 spring, Bullwinkle hanger
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.
Additional Thoughts
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.
