I appreciate the heads up, and it's good to see someone rattling the cage bars. I was reading another forum where someone said "there are Parkers, and there are Parker Flys, big difference"(ir something to that effect). Is a Parker Dragon Fly really worth the price of a Pre-refined Parker Fly? I haven't played one, but I don't consider my Parker P-36--nice as it is, in the same league with my three Parker Flys. I'm not looking to rile people up, but educate me.
I have played Adam Dutkiewicz custom DF and it’s very similar in feel to my Fly guitars with his setup.
I think a couple forum members use DF’s professionally.
Is this CL special worth it?, not to me but they are nice axes.
Also asking prices may be rising but I would like to see the actual sales price.
Here in Denver I see a Parker once or twice a year on CL, 2 years ago I bought a 94 Hardtail with minor paint dings for $1100 mainly because of the hardtail and also it was an early model.
As a side note I visited Drum City Guitarland (the largest Schecter dealer west of the Mississippi I think) lots of beautiful guitars...as in 700 models in stock of all varieties. (Owner told me he gets all the Schecter prototype guitars, I haven’t checked but supposed to be 100 protos on his web site...)
Only trouble is.....wait for it...is the weight of these “normal” guitars.
Nobody makes a Parker weight or comparably easy playing guitar that I get GAS for anymore.
Though I did play a Reverend hollow body that was pretty sweet.
So I guess they’re out there but few and far between.
