Not a store, nor a reseller. I just bought too many great guitars in an effort to find the right ones for me.

The Parker Fly wasn’t created to imitate the Stratocaster or the Les Paul. It was designed to rethink the electric guitar from the ground up. Introduced by renowned luthier Ken Parker, the Fly combined cutting-edge materials, innovative engineering, and exceptional ergonomics into an instrument that still feels remarkably modern nearly three decades later.
This 1996 USA-built Parker Fly is an early Ken Parker-era example, finished in a beautiful Dark Green Metallic. Weighing only a fraction of what most solid-body guitars do, it features Parker’s revolutionary carbon fiber exoskeleton construction, an ultra-thin poplar body, carbon fiber reinforced neck, and a composite fingerboard with 24 stainless steel frets. The result is an instrument that feels incredibly light, resonant, and effortless to play while offering outstanding stability and durability.
This particular guitar features a dual humbucker configuration that delivers everything from sparkling cleans to thick, articulate overdrive. Combined with Parker’s original floating vibrato system and Sperzel locking tuners, it offers exceptional tuning stability and expressive playability without sacrificing reliability. The sculpted body and nearly heel-less neck joint provide unrestricted access to all 24 frets, making it one of the most comfortable performance guitars ever designed.
The Parker Fly has earned a devoted following among professional musicians and collectors alike. Its combination of low weight, innovative construction, stainless steel frets, and forward-thinking design has never truly been duplicated by another manufacturer. Many players consider the early Ken Parker-era guitars to be the finest examples ever produced.
Whether you’re a longtime Parker enthusiast or simply looking for one of the most innovative American-made electric guitars ever built, this 1996 Fly represents a unique opportunity to own a genuine piece of modern guitar history.
