Finally! Baby Pics!

[LesStrat]

Here's the 1999 Parker Fly Deluxe. The color is Italian Plum (deep purple). I took ALOT of pics, but I couldn't get the color to show. It didn't help that as soon as I went outside to take them, the sun decided to hide behind the clouds.:smack:

The last pic is the lower horn. My brother in law's wife had a cat that decided that this was a scratching post. He has since found a new residence; but he's lucky, his predecessor suffered more severe consequences for a lesser offense. As such, I'm learning "Cat Scratch Fever".

And now the Taylor 110E (May 2005). She may be a low end Taylor, but SHE'S STILL A TAYLOR!

Wow! That Parker is gorgeous. Have you got used to the controls yet?

The Taylor ain't bad, either.

Re: Finally! Baby Pics!

The Fly has some serious mojo, bro. My Nitefly is cool, and very responsive to the POD...making it possible to mimic quite a few other axes.

The Fly, OTOH, has it's own voice (aided by the SD upgrades--CC/AIIP). It just "feels" right. The only difference in the controls is the addition of the Master volume and the capability of using the Fishman transducers even when using a mono output (the Nitefly has to have the stereo cable/connections for the acoustic pups to work). The pics DO NOT do the finish justice. It is a deep plum color that SHINES!:dance:

The Taylor does as expected: every string, every note rings out (unless my fumbling fingers get in the way). Fingerpicking rings out quite well. After all, it IS a Taylor

Re: Finally! Baby Pics!

The electric voice of the Taylor is very true to the acoustic sound.

Re: Finally! Baby Pics!

In fact, I'm playing it tonight at church. When I test drove it in the PA, the soundtech started tweaking, then checked herself...she set the eq flat, and VOILA!

I think its the rest of the trem, as the "hole" you see I think is for the bar.

That is one hack of a colour you've got on that Parker.......

The taylor is extremely lovely though

Re: Finally! Baby Pics!

That's a trem-wheel for adjusting the trem-springs. The 1999 models were the last ones to have it.

Re: Finally! Baby Pics!

Very nice. I've always liked the higher-end parkers. I'd own one if they did them with more robust necks.
