I just want to say these listings are not mine & I don't know the seller, I just found them trolling this morning & thought you guys/girls may find them interesting. This one was hand carved by Ken Parker in '85. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Parker-Fly-original-hand-made-prototype-1985-/180780023920?pt=AU_Musical_Instruments_Instruments&hash=item2a17544070 (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Parker-Fly-original-hand-made-prototype-1985-/180780023920?pt=AU_Musical_Instruments_Instruments&hash=item2a17544070)

i playede a parker fly in a music store back in about '95. i thought it fet REALLY nice in my hands. in fact i woulda bought it on the spot, but i didn't bring enough $$ with me. i was, at that time, also buying another guitar and a combo amp. because i was traveing i didn't have room in the car for an extra guitar.

what really shocked me...or some word like that...amazed? the cleanliness and finish INSIDE the guitars...i mean, the work is beyond anal retentive. it's 'perfectionist'. i'm not that good with anything i make; but...i respect those who are.
i'm downloading the sound file now, dh. i'll get to listen to it about 7 this evening! :)
the quality of the recording is dang good, too, init? hear every nuance.

Did anyone buy it? I rather like the color/paint scheme on it regardless of the design. (I'm more of a traditional design guy)

Still listed on ebay $37,500 sounds a bit over the top, could buy a lot of nice guitars for that money.

HA! $37,000 for an unproven guitar? There are many great tools to be had in this world of guitars and that's not one of them at that price....
