Guys, I'll probably never do this... but if Parker ever sends my Nitefly V1 back from the factory, I am considering doing something ultimately with the pickups. The NFV1 is more like a Strat (SSS, 5 way switch, piezo is passive). It has a heavier maple body than my Nitefly M. Thicker too. In some ways, I'd like to set it up like my M. Which is a HH, with an active piezo. The new Parkers have Graphtech ghost piezos, a lot of folks have said they sound a lot better than the Fishmans. Meh, I am inclined to just not touch that stuff or yank the passives in there. I play my M with a mono cable anyway. I typically use very little of the acoustic pickups and mostly to just to add some high end to the DiMarzios. In any event. What options are available in single space slots for a hotter pickup? I'm not sure what's under the pickguard of the NFV1. So I'd rather not have to rout it for bigger ones. Also Parker has had it since the beginning of the year and I can't get them to return phone calls or emails. So maybe I'm just fucked. They weren't charging me for the repair so I guesss they don't feel the need to communicate with me. Still frustrating. I'm not happy with the way the SSS pickups sounded. My Tele and my Mustang sound better and they have pretty crappy pickups.

That's pretty much the worst thing I've ever seen.

Hope that isn't a buzzkill, just wanted you to be informed.
In related news, here's an old photo of the ukulele wall at Buffalo Brothers (local guitar shop). I think they have a lot more now!

Technically, that's a mandolin, not a ukulele. They did an 8 string version as well. Because Firebirds are awesome.
