SOLD: 2002 Parker NiteFly M - £1100 - London or Courier

pt22

Hi All.

As I've recently come into possession of @jaymenon's lovely Yamaha SA2200, I've chosen to sell off one of my guitars to ensure reduced friction upon the eventual N+1. I chose the Parker only because it's becoming less my style, not anything to do with the instrument itself. In fact, I believe Parker's are works of art, amazing guitars to play, as well as unique collectors items. Heck at some point they may very well be worthwhile investments due to parts availability!

£1100 O.N.O. for local pickup. If I must buy packing material for courier the price is firm.

Pre-2004 guitars are peak Parker, designed and manufactured by Ken Parker before he left the company and the company changed hands. This guitar is exquisitely made and plays great. The neck is slim, fretboard is flat, and the SS frets have no appreciable wear. It stays in tune for ages. 

All electronics are functional, the piezo system sounds great, and the Black Winters turn this into quite a chug-able instrument. If you want to return to stock, the original pickups are included.

The only significant blemish is on the underside of the headstock, where there is a chip in the finish. All other blemishes are minor and are often not noticeable in the right light. The fretboard and back of the neck are excellent. 

I'm located in SE London (SE6), and would consider reasonable travel via mass transit for a meet. I can also post this guitar, but you'd have to arrange the courier pickup and insurance yourself. I have a guitar box and will pack it well. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Parker Nitefly M

Roland

The Nitefly has always struck me as one of the worlds most sensible guitars. Lightweight, beautiful neck, and not as bright as a full blown Fly.

 

Offset

That's fabulous.  And a great price too.  I'd love that to go with my Southern Nitefly :-(

I had one and it was ace.

I've got it now and it still is  had it maybe 10 years, stupidly swapped it for a bit and then thankfully bought it back.

Few nibbles but still warrants a bump. Added trade options.

Bump. On reverb for a hell of a lot more.

So cool. A lot of the Parker Fly innovations are commonplace now, SS frets, carbon reinforcement
