Parker Guitars Fly Mojo

mahogany body packed with features that has everything you could want

you can get this guitar to sound basically any way you like...it has a natually dark tone compared with the dimarzio equipped parkers...im doing a direct comparison with my older supreme....the biggest difference is the piezo...its much brighter and zingier on my supreme and a little fuller and rounder on the mojo...with the right gear and eqing though im sure you get get it do sound more or less any way you want

ahh here we go... the headstock is thicker on the bass end making it impossible to thread a 10 gauge string through it...its not supposed to be like that.... i was told a lot of hand work goes into them and thease inconsistancies happen...i had to take off the the tuner remove the washer behind the nut that holds it on and then screw it back together...i can get the string through now but i dont expect to have to remove bits of the guitar to get it working....i had to change the string gauge to 10 when i got the guitar that meant readjusting the new style balance wheel...its supposed to stay flush to the body....it didnt and has now moved forward and i cant access it without removing the backplate now...this is not supposed to happen...the jack socket was loose when i got it...i had to tighten it ..not too bad....theres a small section of the finish near the controls that hasnt been buffed out right...theres a tiny ding on the headstock and a small flaw in the laquer near the top horn...the second string bridge saddle piezo is not correct....when you bend the string the sound goes dead...normal playing is fine but it has to be replaced....this is bad!!!!

im sure with its many faults the guitar will remain giggable...my supreme has had its fair share of problems too but always managed to keep going...i gig thease guitars a lot but i also baby and look after them...hopfully it will be ok but i dont trust those ball bearings that act as string saddles....i had a nitefly before and one of them split and fell out in the middle of a gig...

was talking to them on the phone today...very helpful and friendly they offered to send me the pieces i need to get it going right.

well despite its bugs it sounds great and i can gig with it while my supreme is getting serviced..i cant help being disapointed about the bugs youd expect it to be flawless at this price...i mean a guitar that wont let you string it up because the tuner doesnt fit the headstock properly...come on parker you can do better than this...hopefully when i get all its niggles sorted out it wont cause me anymore hassle...it plays great..it sounds great so its not all bad...i hope i dont discover anything else wrong with it

I bought my Mojo last summer. It's a Natural Mahogany (beautiful contrast between te mahogany wood and the high-tech finish and styling). I haven't seen any of the other finishes in real life. I got a rather good deal on my guitar, since Parker isn't that well-known in the Netherlands and the new importer wanted to change this. So for about ?300,-, you don't hear me complaining about not getting one in Translucent Cherry (and I REALLY like the natural finish, anyway ;) ).
I find the Flame finished one to be just too damn expensive for the added looks...

This guitar is of the most feature-packed ones I've ever seen. I love the extra dimension of sound the piezo brings. My old Fly Deluxe had a bit more controls (stereo/mono-switch, on-the-fly spring tightness adjustment), but of those I only miss the tonal control for the piezo.
The neck is just a dream; I've never ever ever played a guitar on which I could perform any slide or bend I wanted without breaking my fingers. :)
Also, the body's very thin at the base of the neck, so the 20th to 24th frets are actually reachable and properly usable (unlike almost all Strat- and LP-like models I've played).
The Seymour Duncans are a real improvement on the DiMarzio's on my Deluxe. It's amazing what a wide range of sound you can get out of this baby.
What I also like, is that this is the first guitar I've ever played, that didn't hurt my shoulder and/or back after band practice. It's so light; less than 2,5 kgs!
The locking tuners are great, too. The guitar stays in tune perfectly, even if I drop the low E down to D.
Can't say much about the tremolo, since I don't really use it.


Only nag I really have, is the (much mentioned) point that keeps hurting my chest when playing sitting down. But that only reminds me to sit up straighter and not hurt my back, like I usually do.
The flatness of the body gives me the feeling the guitar's body's halfway inside of me. How's that for feeling at one with your guitar? ;)

Straplocks might have been nice, but now I'm nitpicking. :)

Feature-packed, pretty-looking (to me, at least), but slightly overpriced, maybe. But, since I got a great deal on it, it still gets a 10. ;)

As I mentioned, you can get a very wide variety of tone from this guitar. It has 2 HBs, which can be coil tapped.
The neck-bucker can give a very warm, full clean tone. Plug it into a good Marshall's clean channel and think of the Allman Brothers' Jessica. :)
Coil-tap and you'll get some nice Fender Strat-like tones.
Coil-tapped middle position gives real good rythm guitar tones.
The bridge humbucker has a very full drive sound, with plenty of punch. If you roll of some of the high tones, it approaches the sound of a Les Paul. A big thumbs up to Seymour Duncan: unlike many bridge humbuckers, this HB has a bright tone, but with a good low end.

Add to this the mahogany body for fullness and warmth, and the bright, clear tone of the piezo and you've got a world of great, usable and even beautiful tones. What versatility!
It's also very quiet. No noticeable hiss or hum.

I have only three real caveats (if you want to call them that):
- In order to really bring the piezo's sound to life, you have to plug it into a a 'accoustic' amp (such as a PA-system, a keyboard amp, or a home stereo), not into a regular guitar amplifier. A regular guitar amp has a too distinguished characteristic, which kills most of the sparkling highs of the accoustic sound. I rarely have the opportunity to use two separate amps when rehearsing or playing. If I do, however, I usually can't believe the sounds I'm producing. And I'm not that good a guitar player... ;)

- The active output of the piezo is sometimes to high for the amps I use (more of a line-in level, than a mic-in level). This causes the sound to distort, so I have to turn the piezo volume on the guitar down, which eliminates so of the sparkle. This is more a point for the amp, than the guitar however, in my opinion.

- The piezo's volume is slightly louder than that of the magnetic pickups.

All in all this thing sounds really good. Don't expect it to sound exactly the way a Strat or an LP sounds. It shouldn't, because it isn't a Strat, nor an LP. It has it's own unique and wide pallette of sound, which can be used to 'simulate' (and sometimes exceed) the sound of a Strat or an LP.
Some people say it lacks a really distinguishable sound, but I think it's versatility is what distinguishes it.

Very versatile and great sound: a 10.

My guitar was very well set up. I only had to tune the low E a bit, and I was ready to go! Action, finish, everything was excellent.
The complimentary case is also very well made.

The only thing wrong, was the magnetic pickup selector, which (after a couple of months of use) turned out to be slightly dirty. So I took it back to the shop and had it cleaned. Their tech remarked, the interior of the guitar was as tidy and well-made as the exterior. (He also mentioned it sounded great, so I'm guessing he's had a bit of fun with it, before returning it to me. ;) )

Because of the dirty switch, I'm giving it a 9 here.

I've never gigged with it, so I can't comment on that.
The earlier models (the first Deluxes an Classics) had a finish that chipped quite easily, but I've been told this finish is much better. I wasn't planning on bumping it into things anyway... ;)
The frets are stainless steel, so they're made to last.

Everything else seems made to last and with the voltage doubler, I expect the battery to last as well.

I do carry it around and store it in it's case though. Not because I'm afraid it might break, but because I've paid an awful lot of money for it (I'm only a student) and I'd hate myself for damaging it.

I can't really say anything else about it's durability, since I've only owned it for about a half year now. But I have owned a 1996 Parker Fly Deluxe, which has been dragged around to gigs every other day by it's previous owner, who -- judging by the dents and scratches on it (and the man's confession) -- hadn't been all that careful with it. Despite al the abuse, the Deluxe was in an 'as good as new' technical state, apart from the jack socket (which is a known flaw of the early Fly models).

So judging by my old Deluxe, I think it's safe to give it a 9 here.

I've never dealt with the company, so I can't give any points here.

I can say, that their site is easily navigatable and has all the info I need and that the dirty switch was cleaned free of charge, under warranty.

I'm relatively new to guitar playing, with my 5 years of experience, of which 1 year in a band.
I used to own a Yamaha Pacifica 812W and have played almost every guitar the local stores have in their shops, short of a PRS. Parker's slogan really is true: nothing plays like a Parker. Parkers may not have the most distinguisheable tone, I've never experienced such playability and versatility of sound in any other guitar.
Many people compare Parkers to PRSs, which says something about the quality of a Parker. It isn't really the best comparison, however. A PRS has a very distinguisheable sound, but isn't all that versatile (no flames please ;) ). A Parker is the opposite.

A more personal note:
I came to know about Parker guitars by reading about them on the internet. I then searched every Ebay-like site in the Netherlands (about 16 million inhabitants) for a Deluxe or Classic for over a year before I finally came across my recently sold Deluxe. It was in a cosmetically bad shape and thus cheap and I immediately fell in love with it's neck and the weight of the thing (or better: the absence thereof ;) ). The only things I didn't like were the slightly thin tone of the DiMarzio HBs and the configuration of the knobs.

Then I read about the Mojo. It had Seymour Duncans! The controls were rearranged! Joy!
Fairly soon after, I had the importer send one over to their nearest dealership and looked the guitar in the eyes a couple of times.
I then calculated how long I had to work to be able to pay it (and was stunned by the amount of days :P ) and bought it.

It's the first guitar I haven't bought second hand and by far the most expensive thing I've ever bought, but I still haven't had one single second of regret about it. It just makes me smile everytime I open the case, everytime I get great tone from it, everytime I get that lick out of it, I never thought I could.
Some guitars make you feel like playing guitar is something, that you're not good enough for. Like you want to reach those high notes, but you just can't reach them, because the body's in the way of those high frets or you just can't get that tapping right, because the action's too high. This one however, does anything I want it to. It doesn't struggle against me, but feels like a part of me, that just wants to sing out in lovely sweet tones or scream in powerful, bright and heavy overdrive. It just makes me want to play. And play. And play...

This guitar isn't perfect (nothing is) and for others there will probably be better guitars out there, but you can't go wrong with it.
It sure comes damn close to my dream guitar, if I've ever had one!

This is one of the new Parker guitars from the recently relocated factory in Illinois. You may or may not be aware that US Music Corp has purchased or is now the sole distributer of Parker Guitars, David Eden amps, Washburn guitars, Randall amps, etc. I must say the move has done them good. I owned an original Fly and this model is far, far superior tonally. I'm not going to go into too much detail since others have covered the "features" section in detail. Suffice to say this is a nice guitar feature wise and the Duncans sound fantastic. Coil tap, Fishman acoustic, blah, blah, yaddy, yaddy. It's great!

I play a variety of styles from classic rock to blues to country. This guitar covers them all very nicely. I did a direct comparison to my Gibson ES 345 at a gig recently. Frankly put, the Parker blew the Gibson clean out of the water. I put both guitars through a SMF 15 Watter and the Parker ate the ES 345 up! The fellas in Memphis should start worrying.

I have done nothing but replace the strings. The guitar is a dream to play. Perfect from the factory

Too soon to tell.

Never had any service issues but general questions were promtly answered by my local dealer and some in depth tech stuff was answered by the factory service rep on the spot once my dealer got to the proper person. Very friendly folks.

What a nice instrument to play. A vast improvement from the earlier Parkers. I wish there were something I could gripe about but I can't. I've been playing since the 60's and own about 35 guitars (not counting the cheap ones). I ain't no guitar wizard or anything like that but have a very good idea what a good guitar should be. This is what a good guitar should be.

I bought the Parker Fly Mojo Trans Cherry. They come with Seymour Duncan pickups and Fishman Piezos installed on the bridge for the acoustic sound. Solid mahogany body, etc. If you're reading this, you know what they come with.

The amount of different sounds you can get is amazing. Without an amp or even effects added, you still have a variety to work with. Very sweet tones from the Seymour Duncans and crispy brights on the Piezos.

I bought it from Ed Romans in Las Vegas. They do a set-up before a guitar ships and it was fabulous. Parkers are so easy to play, so smooth on your fingers. The finish on the body is beautiful; I think a natural finish on these guitars are a waste.

Haven't had any problem with it after about a month and I doubt I will. They seem to be built solid. The pickup switch makes some noise, but I don't think it will be a problem.

Don't know yet.

I play my Fly Mojo with Boss GT-6. A friend of mine showed me this set-up and it seems to work well. If I had an amp, I'd go with a Marshall or a Roland Jazz Chorus, depending on what kind of sound you want. Roland to go for the ultimate clean sound.
I looked at other guitars that have the electric/acoustic set up such as the Godins, but Parker is by far the best guitar I've ever seen/heard/played/admired.

US made in 2003. Red Cherry. Extremely nice shape. Simplistic design, total high tech production, but with elements of final setup made with love to instrument. Parts are first class incl. pickups and excellent integration of piezo and magnetic pickups.

It has very warm and round type of sound. Tone control is powerfull and there are many sounds in between. Even Strat sounds are possible. I found that guitar suits many styles and depending on strings it can be even wider range of sounds as for jazz, blues not to mention rock that is what this guitar was made for.

I did minor changes to factory setup, du to changes of strings. It was really easy (neck adjustment rod from headstock is perfect solution). I reaaly think that this guitar is just example how good setup should be from the factory.

Have it 5 months, too short time for opinion,but seems like thing that should last.

I compared this guitar with instruments I owe for long time as Pensa Suhr Strat, LP Custom, Navigator Strat, PRS Custom 22 and other. I use Mesa Boogie amps. I think this is my best guitar yet and can hardly imagine what I miss on this guitar. It is boring to say - just perfect guitar.

a 2004 parker fly mojo with a flame maple top,black cherry burst,piezo.

this is my fourth parker and I must say I think the best.I have owned a nitefly,a 1995 deluxe and a jazz model. I thought the jazz was great,and it was,but this guitar is better as far as sound goes.it is darker,richer,warmer,and with the new coil tapping,more versatile. I play jazz through an swr strawberry blonde,and rock through a rivera 55-12.it is not your typical jazz sound but it is pretty and I must say the duncans and mahogany neck are awesome.I was fully ready to buy a PRS hollowbody , but I a-b'ed them against the parker and guess who won. I recently played a rock gig and switched between my 1989 prs custom and the parker and while the parker did not beat the prs as far as tone it was equal and more versatile and more comfortable to play.nuff said.

like any parker(of course we'll have to see what happens with their buyout from u.s.musical) it was as close to perfect as you can get. and the top is one piece of maple not bookmatched.

I haven't owned it long enough to determine this but from previous parkers i've owned I can extrapolate that this one is very reliable.

they seem very good,but like I said,we'll see. the warranty is one year.kind of lean.

I have been playing about 40 years and have owned inumerable guitars. from a 1959 335 dot to an L-5. I currently own a 1989 prs and a 1983 g&l s-500. I would move heaven and earth to get this guitar if it were stolen but it might be difficult because this was one of the last made in the boston factory and I heard a rumor that the old staff will not be moving to illinois to build the parkers at the new factory and ken parker is out of the picture, so i'll say it again.we'll see!

2004 black Cherry Burst with AAA maple top. Mahogany body and neck. The features are well covered in earlier reviews. I will sum it up as 21st century!

Very versatile! Can be very warm and ballsy or very clean. I play through a Hughes and Kettner Duotone combo and it seems to be a very good match. I could go on a rant and throw lots of superlatives around, but really anyone reading this should find a Mojo or Mojo Flame and spend a little time with it! I have had it for a month now, and I am completely in love with this guitar! I have found NO dislikes.

It is a Parker! They are famous for this!

Very solid! While I wouldn't recommend anyone playing out without a backup, the Mojo will tempt you!

I waited 6 months for this baby to come in. I was promised it by several different dates and had to wait longer and longer. But it truly was worth the wait!

I have had no trouble with it and have played it almost every day for the past month. The warranty is only one year in Indiana in some states it is a lifetime warranty. Evidently it is based on different state laws.

I have been playing for 14 years. I own 4 different strats, all are cool in a '57 Chevy kind of way. I have a '71 Les Paul custom that is cool in a '59 Caddy kind of way. Then I have a 2003 nitefly SA, 2003 fly duluxe, and the new Mojo Flame. The parkers are like modern sports cars in comparison to my other electrics. I love american made guitars, and I considered a PRS before I decided on the Mojo. I found that I liked to look at PRS's much more than I like to play them, hey they are pretty! I would be devastated if something happened to my Mojo, I would wait another 6 months for one in a heart beat!

The Mojo is so versatile! If you are a "one Knob" guitar kind of person, you are really missing out if you don't explore all that a MOjo can do!

This is an American made Parker Fly Mojo which has the new Parker designed electronics and configuration but incorporates Seymour Duncan pickups (JB and Jazz) with a tone knob pull activated coil tap that makes both (or either) pickup single coil. When used with the three position switch, you have six magnetic possibilities (bridge humbucking JB, neck humbucking Jazz, both humbuckings, bridge single coil, neck single coil and opposed (hum cancelling)bridge and neck single coils. This also is differentiated by it's all mohogany construction. It also features Parker legendary standards: 24 s/s medium size frets, neck thru multiple finger joint, spertzel locking tuners, deluxe vibrato, carbon fiber finger board and carbon fiber coating over the entire back and neck of the guitar. It has a conicle shaped neck (10 to 13"). 6 element piezos that can be used separately or blended with the magnetics. It is easy to set up and adjust for your taste, and it weighs 5 lbs.

Completely and decisively outstanding. Tone tone tone, expecially in the ballsy lower and mid register. I had to completely adjust my sound to this guitar, which actually was a joy. Whether it's the duncans (which are incredible) or the mohogany or most likely both, this guitar is freakishly lightweight and more toneful than a 50 lb Les Paul. This is the first guitar I've owned or played (and I've owned and played too many to count) that I could play the Sweet Child of Mine intro and actually sound like Slash, one of many "wow" experiences I've had with this guitar I've had a month. I've tried that with Les Pauls and fallen short.

Let me say something to Blues players: I play many styles, but the blues to me is part of my soul and one of the primary reasons I ever picked up a guitar. I like Hendrix, Knopler, Gilmour, Top, Vaughan, Albert King, Guy, Clapton, Beck, etc. I was concerned I'd be missing my single coil tone with this guitar, it was one of my biggest concerns. I actually spoke, via email, to one of the other reviewers I found here, who assured me I had nothing to worry about. He was dead on right. Another wow experience, I did some casual recording with this guitar with a cheap tape deck. This lo-fi method is an interesting way to gauge your sound. This guitar SOUNDED more like a strat than most strats I've played. What I mean to say is, you hear certain legendary strat sounds, like from Vaughan and Hendrix, for example, and usually what you're hearing is a rare find, a strat among strats, because as you know if you've played a while, not all Fenders sound alike, not all guitars of the same make sound alike. I cannot speak for every other parker out there, as I'm sure there are variations, but this guitar sounds like a rare find strat. I will caution you blues/strat lovers out there: this guitar does NOT play like a strat. Strats are one of the most uncomfortable to play guitars, be honest. Compare it to the playability of a Gibson, and be honest, for pure ease of play, Fender strats are rough. Having said that, you loved it, right? So did I. It's part of the whole romance of it, I guess, and when you get used to it, a Fender strat is nearly perfect, like a not so perfectly pretty girlfriend that was otherwise one of the best lays you've ever had. This guitar will not feel like your strat you are used to. But then, it won't feel like any guitar you've ever played. I'd have to say it's closer to something like a Fender or an Ibanez, but still unique. It is true that nothing plays like a Parker. It is so nearly perfectly made that it might through a true Fender lover at first. Not really in a bad way, more in a good way, but you have to give yourself time to adapt. I have and I'm starting to really love this guitar for my blues playing. I'm sick with it really. The tone was instant love, once I adjusted for the added balls of this guitar (and it has huge cajones, baby!). Now the blues feel is coming.

To you metal players out there. This guitar was instant gratification in every way for me. The ballsy tone is definitely there. The full growl. The percussive biting lows. The feel is like an Ibanez Jem, only better. For example, you don't have the low or high E slipping off the side of the neck, like you do with a wizard neck. It is slightly wider spaced, but the neck is also wider and yet still as thin. Fast? Warp speed, dude. I can play pretty damn fast, I'm not the best sweep picker, but I can alternate pick pretty damn fast and this guitar is like magic. I've never melded with a guitar so quickly. I will admit when I first picked it up it was so light it scared me. It felt like a toy guitar, and that's after owning a maple Ibanez with a maple neck (a very light guitar). It threw me. You fall in love with the look and feel. The contouring, the way the frets are marked on the edge, the way you can SEE all 24 frets, and access them all as easily as you please

The factory set is was excellent, though I've played around with the action height. I have it so low now, it's crazy. We play 1/2 step down, so I worry about the buzz, but I've never had a guitar set this low and been able to play it without fret buzz here and there. These frets are perfect, there's only some slight buzz when I play hard close to the nut or open strings, because of the added length, vibration and lowered tuning. Factory set up was excellent.

The guitar is beautiful. I got a trans cherry one, and it's the prettiest red guitar I've ever owned, I don't really prefer red, it just happened that the only one available was red, but I'm happy with it now that I see it in person. Parker is incredibly picky about their guitars, and it shows. The take pride in these guitars because they know they are hands down, the most unique perfected guitars available, and their workmanship is everything to do with it. I hate to write a review so full of praise, because it sounds ridiculous, but I'm being honest with you. I will say, when I first got it two things threw me, the light weight, and it didn't stay perfectly in tune at first. I've come to the conclusion that it was that the strings were brand new, because this guitar stays in tune better than any guitar I've owned, and actually, I thought my strat stayed in tune very well, and it did, over all. Gibsons suck for that, you have to replace stock tuners, but the Spertzels deserve a medal. Another american company that kicks ass. I tune at the beginning of the gig, and then I'm done for the next 4 hours. I've gone literally a week without tuning, and I play it several hours every day.

One other matter. My first night with my Mojo, I installed strap locks, which I firmly believe in. There were friends and family around and I was distracted by all the excitement of the new guitar, and I knew to be careful, this is a THIN guitar. Parker provides screws that WILL work with your strap locks (which is rare) and I intended to use their screw, which is shorter, but somehow it got confused, and I put a screw THROUGH the front of it. That was the only flaw...

I immediately gigged with this guitar with no back up and I do. Unlike strats and some other guitars, this guitar has nothing to catch a string, which is probably 80% of why you break a string. There are no angles on your strings, they go straight through the vibrato bridge, each string goes over a little pair of "balls" on the piezo bridge, then goes straight through the self lubricating graphite nut and straight to each tuner. I doubt I'll ever break a string, I still have the original strings on it, though they need to be replaced, but they are going strong.

There's just enough carbon fiber to make this guitar incredibly stable. Parker designs are built to last. No other guitar has s/s frets. They will out last ten sets of nickle frets. The tuners are awesome. Duncans are awesome. The trem uses a solid "spring" that's more like a metal plate. I depend on this guitar and have every reason to believe that it will outlast most other makes of guitars.

I did in fact call to ask about the mojo verses the nitely mojo. I got forwarded to a tech. We talked for a good 20 minutes, and he talked to me guitar player to guitar player, answered my questions as such, and even suggested buying a used fly if nothing else (they dont' make money if you buy a used guitar!) He was very informative and friendly, so I asked his name. "Drew Hannah". I looked back on their site and confirmed that I'd just been talking to the president and CEO of Parker guitars.

Later I dealt with their tech department over the screw through the front issue, and once again they were very helpful and gave me some advice I could use at home to seal the paint back up without having to send it in. These guys are top notch. It's still a small company, so they are very busy, but they care about guitar players, and everyone I talked to (three in all) plays guitar themselves and has for a long time. Ken Parker's design is arguable the greatest guitar revolution of all time. I have the feeling they are working on more designs, perhaps even a 7 string version in time. They do not currently have left hand guitars, but they are working on it.

I've been playing (off and on) for 16 years. I try a lot of stuff out, and my rigs includes such names as Mesa Boogie, Electro-Harmonix, Voodoo Labs, and Fender, and Boss. If it were stolen or lost I would find a way to get another one. I love everything about it, there's literally nothing I hate, except that I damaged it, but then I don't even hate that, because I like a guitar with character, and somehow that gives it some imperfection that gives it more character. I play guitars at the music store all the time, I love to do that. I play other people's guitars. I tried a Jem again, I tried Jackson again, I tried other American Strats and Pauls,Paul Reed Smith (sorry, but the most overrated guitar made, in my opinion, I was disappointed, so pretty, nice tone, but so not easy to play, and I love Santana, I was shocked) the bottom line is they are all very nice guitars. But they are all about the same in comparison to this guitar. This guitar is something entirely new and offers things no other can. In the journey of playing guitar and being a musician, you eventually starve to find your very own sound and style. This guitar hides like a jewel among the rest. It excells at being it's own self, not like any other, with tone that can sound like the best of these other guitars, but it can also be so unique. Everything about it is unique. Not since the introduction of the Strat has there been something offered that is so revolutionary, and this is on a much grander scale. If you want something unique and beautiful with tone and sustain, that is light and easy to play, this is your axe. Worth every penny paid.

2003, USA. Natural Mahogany - beautiful - a piece of art first class, as usual not 22 but 24 frets as all mojo's have and all other fantastic features that is already mentioned.

The sound is excellent: very clear and different from for example a deluxe.
These pickups and the adjustments they made compare to earlier Fly models makes this model so special. The SD pickups should go standard in all Fly models as is mentioned and described so many times before in other fly model reviews.
The way Marc Seal is describing the sound is what it is. Very versatile.

The Mojo came from Parker setup with Fender nickel wound orig. 150 strings .010-.046 with the 10 spring installed. Very nice with this guitar. Use D' addario" same size on the fly deluxe. Fender springs feels a litlle better to play with. HIX Brothers gave it an extra check before shipping over to me [ live in Europe]. They gave me excellent service and advise to get finally this incredible - "awe-some" as Peter Hix will say - guitar.
Maybe i have to change the back cover plate because the battery house has a litlle too much movement.

An Instrument fore ever. Should have it with me where I go.

Parker: John and William assisted me accurate and gave good advice to solve a minor issue. [Battery house]
Hix Brothers: a distributor for Parker Guitars to go for. "awe-some kind and helpfull people"

My friend from the UK gave me a tip to look for Parker Guitars. I am being greatful to him he mentioned this brand. Not really a famous guitar in Holland.
Hope it will change some day that they understand there is more than ........

I just added a new Parker Fly Mojo to ever growing collection of guitars. I have been fasinated by Ken Parker's inovative design since the first Parkers were introduced but didn't buy one because of the rather thin sound of the DiMarzio pickups. The new Fly Mojo has Seymour Duncan pickups along with other improvements and control simplification.

Great diversity of sound is available with the Seymour Duncans and the piezo pickups. I haven't tried it yet with an accoustic amp but I am now shopping for the right one. I'm currently playing this through a Fender Cyber-Twin and a an old Marshall Valve State.

Action, fit and finish on this guitar are first class in every respect. Much better than any of my Fender or Gibson electrics. I would say that it is as good as my Terry McInturff or even as good as some of my Collings, Santa Cruz, Goodall & Martin guitars. This guitar has the best neck and action of any electric I have ever played! The fret work is outstanding and the intonation and setup from the factory are dead on. Excellent quality!

I called Parker with a couple of questions about the guitar and they were very helpful and friendly.

I have been playing for about 40 years qnd I'm not a very good player, but I'm very good at buying guitars! Too good according to my wife. I have a total of 21 high-end accoustic and electric guitars in my collection to date. Not much room left in the guitar closet but I'll find space for more some how!
