Adrian Belew Signature Fly

The Adrian Belew Signature Fly is one of the most advanced guitars ever built by Parker. Working directly with Adrian was truly an honor and we believe his signature model will be sure to marvel many musicians with it’s capabilities. Among the DiMarzio® Exclusive bridge pickup & Sperzel® Trim-Lok™ Tuners this guitars comes loaded with three unique features:

A. Sustainiac® Stealth PRO neck pickup. This pickup produces intense, predictable, and infinite feedback sustain. With the Sustainiac® you can achieve screaming feedback at any volume. You can also “morph” the sustained string vibration into cool-sounding upper harmonics during a solo using the Harmonic Mode control. When the sustainer is OF, the driver functions as an active neck pickup.

B. Line 6 Variax® Modeling Component. This component is like having a complete collection of guitars at your fingertips. With 25 presets, you get an endless variety of sounds from classic acoustic & electric tones to sitar & banjo all in one instrument. You can even plug into a computer and customize your tone or apply alternate tunings to any of the 25 presets. (Part sold separately.)

C. RMC® Pow’r Bridge ‘PF” Saddles & RMC® Poly-Drive 1 Preamp. The 6 pickup signals from the RMC® sensor saddles are preamplified & equalized separately. These buffered string signals are also mixed together and further equalized to produce the Saddles Mix signal.

Adam Dutkiewicz Signature Dragonfly® DF842AD

Parker is proud to announce the Adam Dutkiewicz Signature Fly. Considered one of the most influential guitarists of the “New Wave of American Heavy Metal”, Adam is the lead guitarist for Killswitch Engage. Rising to fame with the 2004 release The End of Heartache, which had a Grammy Nominated title track, Killswitch Engage has since became one of the hottest touring bands of the day. Adams’ playing can be described as extremely articulate & technically proficient to wild & unpredictable. Adam is a welcome addition to the Parker family, and we look forward to a long relationship with this extraordinary musician.

The Adam Dutkiewicz Signature Dragonfly is equipped with all the great features Parker is known for with the addition of an EMG® 85 neck pickup, and an EMG® 81 bridge pickup. The 81 is best used with high volume overdrive and amps with a master volume. This pickup was designed especially for lead guitarists. The 85 has more measurable output than the 81 however, its frequency response and string interface are different. Because of the more natural tone, it works great as a rhythm and blues pickup because it has loads of output but isn’t muddy. The result is a Fly the soars above the crowd with a scream that will be sure to resonate beyond expectation.

Features

• Carved Mahogany body and Mahogany neck
• Parker custom-cast aluminum vibrato bridge, stainless steel saddles
• EMG 85 (neck) and 81 (neck) active pickups
• 3-way mag pickup selector
• Custom Fishman piezos and stereo voltage-doubled pre-amp
• Custom Parker vibrato system
• Sperzel® Trim-Lok™ tuners
• 6 lbs.

Available in Dusty Black and Black Ice.
