Guitar works and sounds excellent.
It does have some body blemishes, as detailed in the pictures, but other than that, the guitar is in great shape. I love this guitar, but I never play it on stage anymore, so I’d love to see it go to someone who will play it more.

What makes it special
The Fly Deluxe was an unusually innovative guitar for its time, combining traditional DiMarzio electric guitar tones with a Fishman acoustic-style piezo system in an exceptionally lightweight carbon/glass-reinforced design. The magnetic and piezo systems can be used independently or blended together, giving the guitar a very wide range of sounds.
