  • Page 5: Mono Switch

    TEREO WITCH The NiteFly features a special Fishman® active circuit allowing you to blend the magnetic and piezo pickup signals right on the guitar. The pickguard mounted Stereo / Mono Switch makes it possible to mix (sum) the piezo and magnetic pickup signals and play both sounds through a sin- gle amp, or split them to two separate amps or mixers.
  • Page 6 ATTERY LUES Not on the NiteFly!! If your battery is weak, dead, or missing, you can still use the magnetic pick- ups! Just switch to stereo mode, and switch the Magnetic / Both / Piezo selector switch to Magnetic and PLAY the blues!

    ADJUSTING YOUR PARKER GUITAR If you're unfamiliar with adjusting instruments, we suggest that you take your NiteFly to a qualified guitar technician. He or she can help demonstrate these adjustments and you can decide which ones you might prefer to have made professionally.
  • Page 8 NiteFly Guitars are set up at the Parker Guitar Factory with D'Addario® .009" - .042" strings. Three coil springs balance the tension of the strings. When you change string gauges or use alternate tunings, you alter the string tension. This changes the attitude of the bridge, and therefore you will need to re-adjust the bridge to the HOME position.

  • Page 9: Truss Rod Adjustment

    The truss rod adjuster wheel is easily accessible. To adjust the truss rod, use the 1/8" steel rod supplied with your guitar. Rotate the wheel towards the high E string to tighten the truss rod and towards the low E string to loosen it.

    Not only will these unique frets outlast ordinary soft nickel frets, but due to our totally super-accurate manufacturing processes, they all have the correct "half-round" shape. The frets may only be serviced at the Parker Guitar Factory or by a Parker Authorized Repair Facility. Fret service performed otherwise will void warranty.
  • Page 11 Parker Guitars. Any Parker Guitar found to be defective within the 1-year warranty period set forth above will be repaired or replaced at the option of Parker Guitars provid- ed the guitar is promptly delivered (freight and insurance prepaid) directly to Parker Guitars for service.
