BRIDGE
Adjusting Bridge Height (Action)
Your Fly has been shipped with a very low playing action, which still allows
a wide dynamic range of .070” on the bass side and .050” on the treble
side. Playing action is the measurement of the gap between the top of the
twelfth fret and the bottom of the string when fretting at the first fret.
If you lower your action even further, be aware that some buzzing may occur.
Due to the sensitivity of our Fishman Piezo electronics, the resonance of our
composite construction and the hardness of the stainless steel frets, all of
which lead to Parker’s superior harmonic overtone expression, string buzz
will be more apparent on your guitar.
Action adjustment is always done by raising and lowering the bridge, never
by adjusting the truss rod.
The Fly’s bridge is designed and made exclusively by Parker. The radius of
the bridge exactly matches that of the neck, creating a solid mounting for the
piezo saddles. This enhances the tone and sustain. Action adjustments are
made by moving the entire bridge up or down or by adjusting screws on the
back of the guitar. However, the number and placement of these screws
depends upon whether you have a vibrato bridge or a non-vibrato bridge. If
you’re unfamiliar with adjusting action, we suggest that you take your
instrument to your favorite guitar technician.
