Vibrato System
The Parker Fly has a vibrato system that allows the player to select from a fixed-bridge mode, a bend-down-only mode, and a free-float mode. The vibrato system uses a flat spring allowing the user to easily adjust the tension. The spring's natural tension is selected according to the gauge of strings used by the guitar player. The original Fly design incorporated a wheel on the face of the guitar to adjust the spring tension, while more recent models have moved the tension adjustment to inside the guitar. The tremolo bridge has been designed to stay in perfect tune, even with heavy use of the bar.
