1996 Deluxe, all standard, no mods

[Twanking45]

Got this at Sam Ash in Manhattan when I was almost 19. I'm going to be 34 this month. My favorite guitar, though recently I was pondering a refinish. A year later I had the opportunity to snag a 1997 Nitefly V3 and I did because I loved the Parker style, workmanship and unique design philosophy. I'll get the Nitefly in another shot at some point.

Its a basic black fly.

She still looks like new Twank! Except for the replacement knobs.

danjazz,

I'm not sure the replacement knobs are working out. They don't cover the bolts at the bottom of the post. I need a real alternative, otherwise I might as well just put the old ones back on.

That's a Jodi Head strap. Still available on Jodi's online store, I think. Black white n red works for me.

Indeed. GE is a cool guy. Glad he and I agree on straps.
