Parker Fly Deluxe Guitar £2000
The most advanced guitar of its time and in my opinion, nobody has surpassed this level of quality, innovation and playability. Fly Deluxes are the smoothest, most effortless guitars to play and super light too.

Basswood core surrounded by carbon fibre. Fretboard is an epoxy/carbon fibre/glass fibre composite with super durable stainless steel frets bonded to the fretboard.
It’s a well used guitar and shows signs of age with chips and dings. Most of the chips have been stained green to make them less noticeable. The lacquer cracks around the neck are fairly common on these early models and they have been stabilised. Cracks are superficial and do not go in to the carbon fibre or wood. The guitar has just had a fret level, crown and polish. New Graphtech nut. Full set up with gauge 10 D’Addario strings (guitar is fitted with the 10 vibrato spring) including setting the vibrato balance, neck relief, action, pickup and polepiece heights. All work and set up professionally done.
Works as it should apart from 2 niggles:
1, The piezo switch crackles if you wobble it when set to piezo only mode (see vid). Works fine if you don’t wiggle it.
2, The B and High E strings make a “ping” sound at the saddle on extreme whammy dive bombs. Works fine on up bends and normal down bends.
Other than those 2 things, it works great and sounds lovely. Comes with original, well used Levy’s, padded gig bag.
More pics available and I’m happy to answer any questions.
