Opinions on Parker Fly Guitars?

I own a 1996 Deluxe, basically what you're looking at.

 

Best playing guitar I ever tried. Yes, the neck is VERY thin, but the compound radius fretboard just feels so great.

 

The light weight is great, the trem is excellent (honestly, best floating trem design IMO together with MusicMans Petrucci models), the piezo sounds wonderful and the tones you can get by blending the magnetic pickups with the piezo makes it versatile as hell.

 

The only downside, to me, is that the pickups are a bit lifeless. They work great for pretty heavy stuff, the bridge pickup is pretty hot (based on a ToneZone I think?). You can get replacements from Dimarzio though. But you cant put in normal pickups.

 

I'd highly recommend giving it a shot if the price is good.

I owned a fly mojo for almost a year... I couldn't bond with it and I couldn't get the tone I wanted either. The neck was too thin for me (I like a chunky neck). I liked playing it unplugged but it hadn't much sound unplugged, and I just couldn't dig the tone plugged in. I eventually sold it and bought an ASAT
