This is my second Parker (I have a Fly Classic as well) and I am selling as I cannot justify having two when I have other hobbies I would like to finance (underwater camera housings are ££££££!) the winning bidder will receive the purchase receipt from Capital Guitars. This is a rare guitar! I searched and searched for over a year and couldn't find one for sale, and spotted this one whilst I was on holiday in the States. Unlike the other Maxxflys/DragonFlys (never quite understood Parkers conventions here) this is the real deal - the glass carbon fingerboard and the back/neck prepared in the same way as the original Fly. The specs can be seen on the first photograph, but if you are looking at this listing, you probably know exactly what they are already! Out of interest to others used to the Fly, this guitar weighs the same to me, once in the hand (on paper it probably is different - what I mean is, it feels, like the Fly, light). But it has wonderful sustain and the pickups are slightly better than the DiMarzios in the Fly.  Just my opinion of course. It is also more comfortable to play sitting down, due to the design of the upper horn. I only purchased this guitar from Capital Guitars in New York State in January of this year (2017) and flew it home with me. I purchased the Gator Water Proof case in order to ensure that such a beautiful instrument survived the flight back to the UK unscathed - it's the best flight case I have ever seen - worth a fair bit on its own but included in this sale of course. And yes, the baggage handlers didn't stand a chance!The instrument was beautifully set up by Capital Guitars and I haven't had to adjust anything. There are two minor, cosmetic imperfections in the lime gold finish - one on the headstock (photo 2) and one on the upper wing of the body (photo 3). Electric pick ups and piezo work perfectly.The Lime Gold is sensational. A metallic flake to it.  Just beautiful. Local collection is fine, PayPal payment in full prior of course.
