Features & Benefits of the New & Improved Fly Series
Benefits
Reverse Ice Burst
Magnetic volume is right where you want it: close enough for volume swells but not
in the way; overall there are fewer knobs, easier to use
6 mag coil selections, giving you choices from full creamy humbucker crunch to
sweet single coil twang and everything in between
Placement & height are just right; toggles are easily switched with your eyes closed
The simple yet dramatic elegance of the lower body curve is now unbroken.
Players unfamiliar with the use of the balance wheel will be less likely to
unknowingly move it out of adjustment.
The step stop no longer protrudes through the backplate where it might accidentally
be switched through friction against the player's body.
One trem arm style for all US made Parkers; improved trem arm rotational feel
Doubles the peak-to-peak headroom for cleaner piezo/mag mix
Longer battery life, rated at 200 hours
Immaculate, clean, unbuffered magnetic output while in stereo mode
Simpler use in stereo or mono mode
Easier & lower cost electronic part replacement at the Factory or in the field
Easy & fast battery change
No special tool needed for input jack replacement
Beautiful select tonewood elegance with unique sonic voice, provides high
resonance, long sustain, low weight. Neck has even response with no dead spots.
Fast action surface gets slicker with sweat, not tackier like other fretboards
Frets don't wear out or need leveling / reshaping; individual notes always in pitch.
Two unique voices (acoustic and electric) can be combined in thousands of ways
The nut and tuners combine with the Parker vibrato system to let you play in tune
and stay in tune even with aggressive vibrato usage
Mint Burst
Butterscotch Burst
... and more!
