Important Information
The Parker Fly Deluxe in Italian Plum is a groundbreaking electric guitar that redefined modern guitar design with its ultra-lightweight build, innovative materials, and unmatched playability. Crafted with a poplar body and basswood neck reinforced by a carbon-glass exoskeleton, it delivers incredible sustain, stability, and comfort with a total weight of around 2 kg.
Its custom DiMarzio magnetic pickups and Fishman piezo system provide both electric and acoustic tones, perfect for players seeking versatility across rock, fusion, progressive, and studio work. The Fly’s thin composite fingerboard and stainless-steel frets offer effortless speed and precision.
Designed by Ken Parker in the early 1990s, the Fly series revolutionised guitar construction and remains one of the most innovative designs in electric guitar history, cherished by artists who value cutting-edge performance and tone.
With Parker's passing in October 2025, his guitars have become highly collectible and an absolute must-have for any vintage guitar collector.
