Here's your opportunity to get your hands on a remarkable guitar. This guitar is a special order item. The imperfection is a minor finish sink near the nut of the guitar. Take a leap of faith from one of the most trusted sellers on eBay and own the best guitar of your life. Make me an offer I can't refuse! This is a truly unique amazing guitar!
The Adrian Belew Signature Fly Electric Guitar, Parker's first signature instrument, is loaded with groundbreaking technology. The electronics offer such a range of tonal diversity this may be the only guitar you will ever want. The Sustainiac pickup in the neck serves up an amazing array of liquid tones when in the Sustainiac Mode. When the tone control is turned fully clockwise it enables an octave up Sustainiac mode. A DiMarzio humbucking pickup in the bridge position gives you all the great tones of a traditional guitar. An RMC piezo system in the bridge saddles offers lush acoustic guitar tones. This Parker guitar can also drive any MIDI controller with its 13-pin output giving you access to the world of guitar synths!
Following in the footsteps of The Adrian Belew Signature Fly is the DF842. With the exception of the Line 6 electronics, the DF842 comes with all the unique features of Adrian's signature Fly in our new DF body style. Among the Seymour Duncan TB4 bridge pickup & Sperzel® Trim-Lok™ Tuners this guitars comes loaded with two unique features:
Sustainiac® Stealth PRO neck pickup. This pickup produces intense, predictable, and infinite feedback sustain. With the Sustainiac® you can achieve screaming feedback at any volume. You can also “morph” the sustained string vibration into cool-sounding upper harmonics during a solo using the Harmonic Mode control. When the sustainer is off, the driver functions as an active neck pickup.
RMC® Pow'r Bridge 'PF" Saddles & RMC® Poly-Drive 1 Preamp. The 6 pickup signals from the RMC® sensor saddles are preamplified & equalized separately. These buffered string signals are also mixed together and further equalized to produce the Saddles Mix signal.
Although Adrian Belew has played with some of rock's biggest names over the years (Frank Zappa, David Bowie, the Talking Heads, King Crimson, etc.), he remains one of the most underrated and woefully overlooked guitarists of recent times. Like all great guitarists, Belew has his own recognizable style/sound (one that admittedly tends to be quirky and off-the-wall at times), and is an incredibly versatile player, as he's always found a way to make his signature style fit into a wide variety of musical genres: hard rock, funk, new wave, experimental, Beatlesque pop, and more!
