Parker Guitars Introduces New Fly Maple Classic

January 28, 1999 -- Parker Guitars announces the introduction of a maple version of its popular mahogany Fly Classic guitar. This new model, dubbed the Fly Maple Classic, features a body crafted from specially selected maple tonewoods, chosen for both their beautiful grain and full, rich tone. Like all Parker Flys, the Maple Classic offers players a lightweight instrument with a responsive feel, plus superb dynamics and presence.

Additionally, the Maple Classic shares the same unique features as other Fly models, such as:

the ability to produce electric sounds, acoustic sounds or the two combined
a patented vibrato system
spring-tempered stainless-steel frets
locking Sperzel® tuning machines
Fishman® active-piezo pickup system
DiMarzio® humbuckers
basswood neck reinforced with carbon and glass fiber

All Fly Classics are equipped with controls for master volume, magnetic tone, magnetic volume, piezo volume and piezo tone. One three-position switch provides the option of neck pickup, bridge pickup or neck/bridge inside coils, while another three-position switch allows the player to change instantly from the magnetic pickups, active piezos or a combination of both.

The Parker Fly Maple Classic is available in a rich transparent hazelnut brown, and has a list price of $3200, which includes a molded hard shell case. It is available immediately.
