What is my parker fly worth?

kelpbeds · June 2019

Any idea what this is worth. I've seen them advertised for well over £1K on reverb. As far as I know it's a 1997 model, pre Washburn. Has a killswitch mod (have the original pots so easy to revert to stock) and a D tuner on the headstock.
And it is for sale!

Thanks

Oh it's a Parker Fly Classic by the way.

It’s also a Mk1, which seems to have some caché amongst Parker enthusiasts.

Thanks - any idea anyone?

I gave mine away ....

stonevibe · June 2019

I recently bought a pre refined model for £900 - totally original and playing well.

A lot of the guitars that are for sale for more have been for sale for a long time. Make of that what you will.

That's very nice, I like that a lot! What's the knurled wheel behind the bridge, truss rod adjustment?

Trem tension adjuster, the older models had it exposed top and bottom, whereas the facelift ones are accessible from behind the body only

If you want to know what they sold for on Reverb, add

They seem to fluctuate a lot, ive seen them vary from £800 to £1200

I got £1150 for mine, was in good condition, pre-refined. I included a tatty tweed case.

Was always a fan of these, still haven't got around to playing one yet!

kelpbeds · June 2019

cheers all, will go for £1000 for it.

There are people asking crazy prices for them now but they are a specialised item so you have to be sensible. I have had a few in the past, £800 to £1000 would be my suggestion depending on condition. They are a bit like marmite, I really like them, mainly for the weight and the neck but I think the pickups are a bit lacking (and of course they are not easy to swap out) GLWTS

The old Parker forum was always hotbed for selling and trading them, but I think it has cooled down in recent years. Mine sold via their classifieds section.

I had the official hard case, official gig bag, spare arm and springs plus Y lead and manual etc

Howdy, Stranger!
