This is the perfect Fly guitar guitar to get classic warm tones. The Fly Classic has a that is smooth, slick, lower mid-range and has a singing upper register. The first new shape in the Parker line-up since the Parker Fly was introduced 11 years ago. Parker’s engineers have developed a single cut-away design with a mahogany body and mahogany neck joined together by Parker’s patented multi-finger joint that contributes to the evenness of the sound and resists the inevitable warping that sends other guitars out of tune.
