Up for grabs is my drop dead gorgeous 2009 Trans Butterscotch Select Series Refined Fly Artist.

Includes trem arm, 10 spring and 12 string (12 currently installed with 12 gauge strings), Schaller locking tuners and hard case.   Hard case has seen some action :-)Apart from Schaller strap locks, the guitar is in original condition, no mods or alterations - everything stock.   There is no fret wear (these are stainless steel frets don't forget).
The spruce top is of the highest quailty and quarter sawn I beleive as it shows plenty of silking.   Wood doesn't get better than this and it's the finest cut of the tree!There are a couple of fairly minor little dinks which I've highlighted in the pics just to be perfectly transparent.   There a couple of the tiny screws missing from the backplate but it's no biggie and can easily be replaced.   It's recently been setup by a pro luthier here and it playing like a dream though you may want to put the lighter spring and strings on it.   I think I have an 11 spring somewhere so if I find it I'll include too.These just don't come up that often so grab it whilst you can else you'll kick yourself.Only selling as SWMBO demands a one in, one out policy!   :-(I will ship to anywhere on the planet but PLEASE CHECK ME FOR A SHIPPING QUOTE BEFORE BIDDING if you are not in the UK!   I am not responsible for any local import duties or taxes that apply for your country.    It will be sent in it's hard case, in plenty of protective packaging in a double lined, sturdy cardboard box with UPS insured (as they seem to be the only people capable and responsible when it comes to shipping guitars).By the way I'm also selling a couple of String Swing hangers for Parker Flys so please take a look at my other listings.   Happy bidding.

Burb from the Parker catalog with details on the Select series :Parker Fly Select models are built by master luthiers who have been personally trained by Ken Parker himself. Each has a unique feature set, making these some of the most exclusive guitars available anywhere. All Fly Select Series guitar bodies are cut from a solid piece of Sitka Spruce which has been carefully selected and examined by Parkers’ expert staff. Sitka Spruce, typically known for its’ ringing highs and warm lows, makes it a popular choice for acoustic guitars. Recognizing the potential tone Sitka Spruce could produce if used to make a traditional electric guitar resulted in a ground-breaking, ingenious guitar series. The Fly Artist was developed to create a thicker, warmer, more complex voice with gigantic bottom end and luscious crush. Truly in a class by itself the Fly Artist is the ideal choice for the musician who demands extraordinary tone.
