Original GC Sale Tag

[Sleezy E]

Who's still got one of the good ole' Guitar Center sale tags from back in the day?

I'll start....

I was going through some old stuff recently and came across the tag that was on my Parker Nitefly when I bought it.
I had lusted for a Parker since I first saw one but never thought my broke 21 year old ass would ever afford one. I remember walking into GC one saturday morning and there it sat on a stand with a ridiculous blow out price on it. I couldn't reach for my credit card fast enough.

It became my #1 and I gigged it exclusively from 2001-2007ish. I will NEVER sell it.

I decided to stage a picture with the tag, and it even had the original price tag under it. Sometime around '04-05 I cut out a piece of aluminum diamond plate for the pickguard, but I still have the original in the case as well.

How she looks today

A couple pics I found when it was brand new, and I was thin....

Sweet axe! The diamond plate looks kickin' too.

Very cool. All I have is a handwritten receipt for my Fender Contemporary Strat from New York Music.

I can’t make out the date but the price is $349.

I found a picture of it. It was a one humbucker, one volume guitar.

About that Parker. I heard the frets are glued into an unslotted fingerboard. Is that true?

There are little channels that the frets sit in but not like a traditional tang, and yes, they're glued.

I didn't realize back then how much I would grow to love stainless frets. That guitar has some serious mileage and it still plays fantastic, the carbon neck helped a lot too I'm sure since I was pretty clueless about maintenance back in those days.

Belew used a Parker for a long time. I dig his stuff.
