I collected it from Manchester yesterday. It is mint, stunning and a steal! I absolutely love it and cant put it down for more than 5 minutes!

If I was being critical, the cons are you cant change the pickups and the volume contol is slightly in the way for trem work. I generally just 'stroke' the trem to get natural feedback anyway so not a major issue.
Other than that it is a belter! Soooooo light - especially in the Hiscox case, very fast and smooth action, Stainless steel frets, spezals, piezo.......the list goes on!  :D

What do all the controls do?
The manufacturers website didn't help :(

Very nice!  I like the way you can see the wood grain on the top, it makes it seem a bit more organic (if I can say "organic", the word normally reserved for Nailbombs).

Sorry, I know I've posted in this thread, but I didn't say how jealous I am! That thing looks awesome; I always fancied the looks of those Flys (Flies?) and that colour suits it perfectly.

Let me make something clear...

I LOVE PARKER FLYS.

SO MUCH.

And that is as good an example as any - I am a VERY jealous man.

Not too sure about the back, the big plastic cover looks out of place. Have to say i'm impressed though, not to my usual tastes but nice none the less.

maybe the photos are playing a trick, but it looks like you can see the grain from the front, but not the back? why is that?

looks nice regardless... :)

Transparent finish on the front - metallic finish on the back - I assume.

you cant change the pickups
:O Why?

Because they are so thin, they have some thin proprietary pickups- DiMarzio's if my memory serves correct.

Pickups are indeed Dimarzio. They sound great but not as beefy as Im used to. Thats why I have my Les Paul though!

The coulour is see-thru on the top and metalic on the back. I was suprised to see that too but I like the contrast around the neck join!
