Available only from Parker dealers, Parker Select models are built by master builders trained
personally by Ken. Each has a unique feature set, making these some of the most exclusive guitars
available anywhere. With their fully loaded pickup/preamp/vibrato system, the Supreme and Artist

deliver Parker’s complete sound spectrum, but in unique voices resonating from different tone wood bodies. The Nylon Fly and Bronze Fly are one-
of-a-kind solid body acoustic guitars. The Nylon is unique among amplified, nylon-string classical guitars for its stunning balance across all six strings.
The Bronze Fly delivers a clear acoustic voice at any volume. The Fly Artist, Nylon Fly, and Bronze Fly are the only electric guitars in the world with
bodies of solid Sitka Spruce.

PARKER SELECT

FLY SUPREME

Brilliant in its sound, the Fly Supreme body is crafted from a single piece of “big leaf” figured maple—one
of the most beloved of fancy tone woods—with a 24-fret reinforced basswood neck. The maple sings out
straight to the sky with powerful tones, a strong fundamental, and fast response. Crisp and balanced, it’s the
perfect choice for players wanting creamy, powerful distortion and clear high-end.

AVAILABLE COLORS: Transparent Honey, Ocean Blue, Trans Green, Trans Purple

FLY ARTIST

The Fly Artist is made from a single piece of solid, vertical-grain, old-growth Sitka Spruce, which showcases and
enriches the piezos more than any other body material. The 24-fret reinforced basswood neck completes the sonic
equation, creating thicker, warmer, more complex tones and a gigantic bottom end that will send your music to new
levels of luscious crush. The piezo tones are the most natural and transparent you’ll find anywhere. Truly in a class by
itself, the Fly Artist will draw out and display your musicianship.

AVAILABLE COLORS: Transparent Butterscotch, 3 Tone Sunburst

NYLON FLY

Unlike the other models in the Select line, this extraordinary Fly is designed to support nylon strings—and
anyone familiar with other electric nylon guitars will be blown away by its powerful response and luminous
tones. To complement the knockout finish, we’ve housed the specially designed Fishman

®

pickup in a

handmade ebony bridge with an abalone inlaid tie block. Gold-plated Sperzel

®

pegs and ebony knobs make

this guitar a real dazzler.

AVAILABLE COLORS: Transparent Butterscotch

BRONZE FLY

Weighing in at only 3-1/2 pounds, this is the perfect choice for the performing acoustic guitar player.The
Bronze Fly body is made from a single piece of old-growth Sitka Spruce with a 24-fret reinforced basswood
neck. Designed to be the ideal platform for Larry Fishman’s breakthrough piezo pickup and active filtering
preamp, count on sparkling, warm tones, clarity, and exceptional note separation without feedback at any
volume.

AVAILABLE COLORS: Transparent Butterscotch, 3 Tone Sunburst
