NGD - I just scored a Parker DragonFly!

[mamadow]

So here is my first NGD....

I just scored this Parker edit: Nitefly !

Very cool guitar, very light, I like everything about it at the exception of the pickups which I find pretty cheap, so I'm going to be replacing them...

Also the neck is not set up properly, going to bing it to a tech tomorrow...

Also the pickup magnets dont seam to be right under the strings on the bridge pickup, is this normal?


Here are the pics:

PS: sorry for the bad pics

I was just about to say this. It looks like a nitefly to me.
Nice guitar anyway.

 

[mamadow]

that's a nitefly

Thanks

But I got it for such a crazy price that its anyway epic

400 swiss francs, that's like 380 $

 

[Apophis]

Awesome, Congrats !!!!

 

[Fikealox]

Congrats, dude. That looks awesome. The polepieces are normal... or at least, my Fly Deluxe has a non trem-spaced bridge pickup too. Since there's a pickguard on the nitefly (rather than the pickups attaching via the polepieces like on the Flys) you shouldn't have a problem remedying it.

Yep, as others have said thats a Nitefly. THIS is a Dragonfly.

Note the upper horn.

Sweet guitar nonetheless, HNGD

Damn dude, that is an amazing score. How'd ya get it then?

I'm looking for a Parker myself but I'm not sure how the Parker model system works.

previous owner did not like it and needed some cash

Looks like that the bridge pu could be a dimarzio non f-spaced, that's why the allens dont seam to be right under the strings. Take it out and look the baseplate.

Congrats for your NGD!

I'm cool with that, I'm going to be replacing the bridge pickup with a custom and have the guitar set up properly

Thanks for the info, I was not aware of that

I put Ken Parker & Ned Steinberger in the same category. Real visionaries that took guitars to the next level. The Parker is light as a feather & very resonant. Should never need fretwork. The frets are bonded to the phenolic fretboard. No fret slots adds to the necks stability. A dream to set up, a trem that really works. Switch from fixed to floating in 2 seconds.Magnetic & Piezo sounds. Very impressive instruments

ned an ken need to make the FlyBerger, headless fly-ish guitar, trans trem, all carbonfiber/graphite construction.

Well its not the most vibrating guitar I have, the old Gibson I own has way more sustain...

I just had it set up, plays really nice, looking forward to install the custom pickup at the bridge

Awesome, Congrats !!!!

I agree with Sebastian
