The temptation is TOO great...

Reining PunLowered
*Visions of Sugar Plums*

My brother in law has a Parker Fly Deluxe. He offered to sell it to me for a ridiculously low price to keep it in the family.

Last year, he had MJ rewind the pickups. Thanks to the magic of our local tone gnome, it now has a Custom Custom in the bridge, and an A2PRO in the neck.

He replaced it with a reissue SG, because he was looking for something with a neck/fretboard width similar to his classical guitar.

I'll probably have her in a couple of weeks...then the

Name My New Baby

game begins anew. I played her before the pickup change, and remarkably, it was brighter than my Nitefly (w/ 3 s/c's ). I think the new pups should have darkened the tone to a more tolerable level.

BTW, she is Italian Plum.

That's awesome. You can't beat a deal like that.

Do you want name suggestions now, or in another, later thread?
 
Re: The temptation is TOO great...

I coulda sworn this post was about your inability to acquire this new guitar . . . because you're wife had a "muffin" in the oven. :smack: :laugh2: :smack:

Actually, Artie, that would have to involve a miracle...and one for which we certainly ARE NOT praying (our baby boy graduated HS in May).

Name her here, name her later...it makes no difference to me.

My "baby" boy has another year 'til we're free . . . er . . . I mean, he graduates. :laugh2:
 
Re: The temptation is TOO great...

It takes a certain type of person to play a parker. I could never get used to mine and ended up selling it.

Purple Maria :32:

Nice pickup combo. That's what I'm using these days, most of the time.
 
Re: The temptation is TOO great...

NEW STUFF ROCKS!!!

Re: The temptation is TOO great...

I'd just give it a really normal name that doesn't have anything to do with what it is.

like Fred. or umm Patrick.

that's just me tho.
