About This Listing

Up for sale is a  rare Parker Bronze Fly acoustic electric. Parker no longer makes this model and these  rarely come up for sale(especially at this price). This guitar has been played  so there are some cosmetic blemishes as detailed in the pictures none of which affect playability, stability or tone. If you are looking for a rich acoustic sound with zero feedback and amazing playability in a 3.5 pound package this is it.

One-piece body and carbon-glass-epoxy reinforced neck for light weight
As with all Parker guitars, the Bronze Fly relies on Parker-designed body and neck configurations to ensure light weight with optimum performance. The one-piece Sitka spruce body is joined to a solid basswood neck that is reinforced with carbon-glass-epoxy resin to provide strength that belies the Bronze Fly's amazing 4 lb. weight. The "wide regular" neck shape and a fretboard coated with .020" carbon-glass-epoxy makes for easy playability.

Custom Fishman piezo pickups and preamp for clear acoustic-style tone
The amazing acoustic sound of the Bronze Fly is also due to Parker's use of a six-element custom Fishman piezo system, married to a Fishman-designed active preamp. This combination produces clear, bell-like tone and sustain without feedback worries. An active 2-band EQ also provides sound shaping capabilities, and the Bronze Fly's output can be split stereo or summed mono, with a "Smart Switching" jack that automatically senses the connector type.
