1995 "pre-refined" Parker Fly Classic with original gig bag, tremolo bar and owner's manual. This was the best era for Parker Flys- before the company was purchased by Korg- subsequent Parker models were far inferior to Ken's original models. Because of this the mid 90's Flys are the most desirable. I bought this guitar new in 1995. There are several dings and paint wear through from use throughout (see pictures). In 2010 a Roland GK pickup was installed- hence the two holes by the rear pickup. Everything on the guitar is original except the 1/4" jack that was replaced and an on/off switch was added to the back.
The original plug that cut power has been long discontinued- and I liked this better because it could be left plugged in without killing the battery.
Several years ago some of the stainless frets came off and were re-glued by a luthier. The original case is in included along with the original tremolo bar and original owners manual.
It's feather light and the active Dimarzio pickups are strong and the carbon back and fingerboard produce a guitar that sustains amazingly well.
