Parker Fly Deluxe, pre-refined from 1999 in Emerald GreenI decided to sell my pre-refined Parker Fly Deluxe in Emerald Green from 1999. However, there's a catch: I will not sell this guitar unless the buyer has thoroughly inspected it and knows what he's buying.
I bought the guitar some years ago from a supposedly reputable guitar shop and paid the normal going rate for a pre-refined American Fly Deluxe. The condition was supposed to be "excellent". Unfortunately, the guitar arrived in a pretty bad shape and the seller completely ghosted me and didn't react to any of my messages or calls. With the help of a professional luthier specialized in Parkers, I was able to restore the guitar. The luthier repaired the electronics and frets, replaced the missing tremolo spring with a wooden block, and verified that the guitar is all good.
From a meter away, you wouldn't see much of any of it and it feels and plays like a normal Fly should (except for the lack of tremolo function).
The reason for the sale: Every time I pick it up, I get reminded of all the hassle I had to go through with it, which is why I don't feel a lot of joy playing it. Otherwise I would keep it. It's a fantastic guitar.
Apart from the regular wear and tear you'd expect from a 25-year old guitar, there are two things worth mentioning:
1) There's a superficial crack between the tremolo wheel and the bridge. The luthier verified that it is only the finish and does not go into the wood.
2) One of the frets fell off (typical Parker Fly problem) before I got the guitar, and somebody replaced it with a normal fret (not a glue-on fret). My luthier leveled this fret so it perfectly blends in with all the other frets, but it's not the stock Parker fret.
With all that in mind, I'm willing to let it go for a hefty discount compared to what other pre-refined guitars (in supposedly good condition) go for these days. I was thinking of £1100, less than half than what the cheapest Fly that is listed on Reverb.
Comes with the parker gig bag (decent condition), some of the stock tools, and the tremolo bar (though without springs).
