Nite-Fly Player’s Guide

NITEFLY-SA • NITEFLY-SA STANDARD • NITEFLY-M

Dear Fellow Guitar Enthusiast:

Larry Fishman and I formed Parker Guitars in 1991. It continues to be a rewarding

project and a great education for us. We're thrilled that you have chosen to make

your music with our creation!

Guitar players of every style in more than 20 nations are choosing the Fly Guitar,

and some have suggested that the Fly is taking its rightful place alongside other

ground breaking and enduringly great designs of yesteryear. Thanks to your sup-

port, our little duet of inventors has grown to a sturdy group of craftspeople col-

laborating to make the most useful and highest quality instrument available.

Feedback from you guitarists influenced us to design a "bolt-on" sibling to the Fly.

Your comments, suggestions and criticism helped to shape the NiteFly. We chose

the pickguard format to simplify changes in the pickups. The neck shape is thick-

er; with "firmer cheeks". The frets are taller and wider. The body, similar in outline

and contouring, bears a distant resemblance to other members of the Fly family.

Your input will continue to inspire us as we develop new instruments with new

capabilities for years to come. Meanwhile, we expect you'll enjoy many years of

faithful service from your NiteFly.

Thanks for your support. Play from the heart!

-Ken Parker
