My Parker Fly Classic. Doesn’t get the love she deserves since the band broke up

    So cool and love the color! While I can’t remember the model now, I had a fly back in the early 00’s and frequently miss it sorely. People seemed to view them as “weird”, but the one’s I recall played like butter and were quite versatile. IIRC, the builder has moved on to archtops now that still use the head stock design and have a crazy price tag now.

    What kind of music do you make on it?

      Yeah, Ken Parker sold the company back in the 00’s if I recall correctly. Mainly a lot of hard rock/metal, but I’ll occasionally get bluesy on it. Can take whatever you throw at it, that’s for sure!!
