VIBRATO BAR
The vibrato bar is made from 3/16" stainless steel rod. The vibrato bar
rotates in the bridge. A set screw located next to the high E string in the
bridge may be adjusted to allow the vibrato bar to rotate more or less freely.
SPRING
Instead of the customary coiled springs on the back of a traditional vibrato,
the Fly's vibrato uses a unique spring that is compact enough to fit into the
Fly's thin body.
The springs are manufactured in a variety of sizes to accommodate different
string gauges. The spring must be strong enough to balance the string
tension, when the vibrato is used in the BALANCED mode.
Each spring is marked with a number corresponding to the smallest of your
strings (i.e. a "9" spring must use a .009"–.042" string set).
Since, Parker Fly Deluxe guitars are factory shipped with .009"–.042"
They are equipped with a "9" spring installed.
An extra .010" spring has been provided to accommodate a string gauge
change. If you wish to use .011" or .012" gauge strings, you will
need a bigger spring. To purchase additional springs from Parker
Guitars, please contact U.S. Music Corp. at 1-800-877-6863.
