About This Listing

If you want a balanced S-style guitar that does it all, look no further. This isn't a Lamborghini or a Ferarri or a Mercedes - this is a Pagani, a Bugatti, a Gumpert. This is a performance machine, a superstrat with no compromises, which has an incredible and unique sound and is perfectly balanced. This Parker Nitefly has the piezo acoustic saddles with the Fishman blend system built in and the Dimarzio pickups - it is from the era considered "pre-refined." There is one major ding in the back that I wish I'd known about when I bought it, but otherwise it's got a normal amount of wear and tear for a 20 year old guitar that's been played. Everything is in full working order mechanically.

I did have to replace the tone control with a high-quality Bourns pot, and have added the "7 sound mod" on a push-pull on that potentiometer which adds the neck pickup into any other position for added versatility. I also replaced the pickguard with a high-quality replacement due to a crack in the original, and had matching cream knobs custom made to fit the original layout. All of the original parts will be included with the guitar.

This guitar has a stereo switchable piezo output or can be played mono. I have 2 stereo TRS cables - one with a Y connector and one that looks like a regular guitar cable. I've built a custom patch box which goes from TRS Stereo to dual TS Mono to use with the guitar so that you can have an isolated acoustic effects chain and an electric effects chain on your pedalboard, and can output to separate amps if you so desire. I'll include these all with the purchase.

Please ask any and all questions prior to purchasing. This item will be packed with the utmost care and will ship quickly with tracking and insurance. Thanks so much for looking!
