Hi Guys, at the moment my Parker Fly (a 1999 model) is fitted with a 10 tremolo spring plate. However I'm finding it too stiff for my liking or style of playing. I'm also having great difficulty in finding where to obtain a 9 I'd prefer to use Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings as I do on my other guitars. As you know these are 009 to 042 gauge. At the moment the 'hibrid gauge I have on the Parker are slightly heavier. Not much, but enough to warrant a slightly different use of the tremolo bar. Anyone know of a supplier here in England (UK) or anywhere else that can send me this part. How much will it cost do you guess.
The guide made by me with the help of 908ssp, Simonlock and Fastredponycar has just been published.It shows a procedure to setup the trem in order to use it like a Floyd rose - that is, stay in perfect tune with any use and abuse, no matter what.The Manuals page: http://www.parkerguitars.com/Downloads/manuals.htmlDirect PDF download: http://www.parkerguitars.com/images/stories/manuals/Fly_trem_guide.pdfCheers and enjoy!---------Pregno Splatterhttp://pregnosplatter.altervista.orgPearl White 2008 Fly Mojo 2 VOX AC30S and Kustom Quad full stackBoss GT-10(more gear on my website)
It seems the links are not working again.
Do you mean the "Fly Trem Guide 2" from Marco's Google drive?
I thought perhaps the "How to keep the Trem in PERFECT tune" was a different document since this has a separate thread.
I'm also basing this assumption on not yet seeing any info on spring placement within the 3 potential grooves towards the headstock end of the trem spring when changing springs ...
(Aside from a mention elsewhere of adjusting for 9.5 gauge strings), nor orientation info for the tailpin end of the spring's mount, which can be installed in two different orientations.
These bearings, I think- between post and bridge body. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00F4RJT1A/ref=psd_mlt_nbc_B002BBF3JO_pYou want shielded but not sealed. Sealed will have too much drag. You can check them before removing by taking the bridge out. Should spin easily. If you do need to change them, make sure you don't push the bearing at the outside edge, push as close to the axle as possible. Otherwise you'll mess up the smooth internals and back to square 1.
