The Parker guitar
rating and review by actual users
The Parker guitar is solid body, one-piece select maple with see-through
red, see-through blue, tobacco sunburst, white, and black colors. The
NiteFly's 22 jumbo frets are made of spring-tempered stainless steel
and like the Fly Deluxe, are precision surface mounted to an extremely
durable fingerboard made of high-modulus carbon and glass fiber. Custom
designed DiMarzios in a humbucker /single/ single array are mounted
in the NiteFly's plastic pick guard.
A Fishman passive, piezo transducer system is mounted in the bridge.
Controls for the magnetic pickups include Volume, Tone and a five-position
selector switch. Additionally, a Volume control for the piezo transducers
and selector for magnetic pickups, piezo transducers or both are also
included. The NiteFly's free-floating stay-in-tune vibrato system utilizes
a premium steel and high strength aluminum bridge.
Parker NiteFly exists in at least 4 different versions. Version 1
has three (3) single coil pickups along with the piezo pickup on the
bridge. The version 2 is the same except one of the pickups (by the
bridge) is a humbucker instead of a single coil. Versions 3 and 4 are
the updates to 1 and 2 respectively. The main differences are the circuitry
for the two types of pickups. As mentioned above, a humbucker will indicate
either a version 2 or 4 while three single coil pickups indicate either
a version 1 or 2. The visible difference between versions 1/2 and 3/4
is a recessed small round black push-button toggle switch.
