Parker Fly

Carbon-and-glass Fly series of electric guitars

The Parker Fly series, designed by luthier Ken Parker and built from 1993, is a family of ultralight electric guitars whose wooden body and neck are wrapped in a stiff carbon-glass exoskeleton. Flys combine a thin, resonant body with stainless steel frets, a Fishman piezo system blendable with magnetic pickups, and a flat-mount vibrato. The series spans models such as the Fly Deluxe, Fly Classic, Fly Mojo, Fly Supreme and Fly Artist.
