Shame, I'm a huge fan of the Parker Fly.

They're arguably the biggest step forward in electric guitar since the 50s. Lots of new stuff there for the time, some of which became standard years after: stainless steel frets, piezo+magnetic pickups, carbon fiber reinforcement, adjustable vibrato, possibly the most seamless/flattest neck joint ever... not to mention the whole design is amazing.

This video from this guy dropped just two days ago, and explains a lot about the features and constructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1S6Cni3nkws

It's a shame they stopped manufacturing after the company was sold. I had one and regret selling, as prices haven't really come down!

Rest in peace and thanks for everything, Mr Parker!
