    Brilliant Phil and you've kept my 20 year record running. Twice each year, or more, conversations with friends include, "My worst-ever gear mistake you ask? Selling my Parker Fly!" Seriously Phil; congratulations. Seeing Adrian Belew with his custom Fly several times over the years convinced me of my blunder. Good on you Sir!

    Good video wonderful collection. I think a person would be proud to own only any one so I think this is amazing. I play mostly acoustic now but started electric in the 80s which many say is backwards . Never heard of Parker but looks amazing . I live in a small town and no store had a Parker I ever saw . But I could tell it was high quality . Nothing like the feeling we get when we purchase new gear especially when it is a guitar the emotion just repeats itself every time very cool

    That's a really nice Parker and I love that 513. I have a 2008 PRS 513 and it's amazing. The only thing that could be better, for me, would be if it had the pattern thin neck instead of the wide fat profile.

    I picked up a DF422 FR (used) some years back for very little money. It's a bolt-on all wood neck with a natural satin finish, but US made and has a Floyd. DragnFly contours. I love it. Light as a feather, says in tune, and so ergonomic. Glad I snagged it when I did. The used price of Parkers continues to climb. Parkers are so easy to play.

    I had one of the import PDF60 models from Sweetwater. Eggshell white with ebony board. When I received it, two of the locking tuners were completely seized up. So Sweetwater gave me three options, return for refund, return for replacement, or they would send me new tuners. I chose the last option. Two days later they showed up, an entire set of six which was nice. Once I got it playing I really fell in love with it. I was going to whack in a Seymour Duncan JB all along but the stock pickup sounded so good I just left it. It had a vibrato that only went one way, you couldn't pull up. But it stayed in tune so I left it as well. I kept it for years before trading it. Wish I hadn't now. I see them on Reverb for around $400-ish. Seeing this video I may just get me another one, or a real one like the Adrian Belew signature model. And those other guitars you got are also sweet! The PRS 513 is one sexy machine!

    It's really sad that anything you buy is only worth what someone is willing to pay. For instance, to me the latest Epiphone Les Paul Juniors are exactly the same as the latest Gibson Les Paul Juniors but the price difference is about $1000.00. I have two of the Epiphones, I bought one that the neck was snapped at the nut and I took it in and repaired it. It sounds better to me than the one that was not damaged. It's probably a compassionate psychic thing in my brain. Your Dragonfly is a beautiful guitar and the story is absolute.
