July 16, 2003Parker Guitars announced
the launch of the Fly Mojo, the company's most recent addition to its
guitar series, the Parker Fly. Unlike previous models, the Fly
Mojo's body and neck are each constructed from a single piece of select
mahogany and the guitar is equipped with Seymour Duncan jazz pickups for
warmth and midrange. Available in Natural Mahogany,
Transparent Cherry and new Transparent Butterscotch Reverse Burst, the Fly
Mojo carries a $3498.00 US list price. The guitar is expected to ship to
dealers in August.
"The Fly Mojo was created out of the market demand for a Fly model with a
richer, heavier tone," explained Parker Guitars co-founder, Ken Parker.
"Combining mahogany's naturally warm tones with the Duncans makes this a
very exciting model for Parker players."
The Fly Mojo is constructed with a 24-fret neck, made with Parker's
trademark carbon glass fingerboard and hardened stainless steel frets.
Weighing in at only five pounds, the Fly Mojo comes with two Seymour Duncan
pickups-a Jazz pickup at the neck and a JB pickup at the bridge-as well as a
6-element Fishman piezo. The Fly Mojo is also equipped with a newly improved
custom Fishman stereo preamp (also now offered in Fly Classic and Fly Deluxe
models), providing twice the headroom through a voltage-doubled circuit, 200
hours of battery life, and automatic stereo/mono switching based on the
cable used. Each Fly Mojo comes with its own custom hard-shell case.
Parker is introducing the Fly Mojo in conjunction with the company's 10th
Anniversary Celebration at this year's Summer NAMM show in Nashville, TN.
