I'm at 24 guitars I think? Somewhere around there. Live in N Denver. Every 6 months it's like an event . Mostly just a bit of a truss rod adjustment, but still....
I'd like to claim some evolved routine, but it's nothing more enlightened than 60+ years of trial and error. The guitars that have remained in my stable are the ones that DID intonate well, and stayed in tune for months on end; the rest were the "error" part.How do you shop for that kind of stability? Isn't it hard to tell from a couple hours in a store?
Having owned 3 Flys and 8 Steinbergers I would say the Steinberger sound FAR more conventional.Parker Fly Is very stable. I took mine to India. -6C and 20% humidity in the UK. +30C and 50% to 100% humidity in Mumbai. No adjustments needed. Doesn’t necessarily look or sound like people expect, but then neither does a Steinberger.
I was put off keeping mine when I started to get ones in with delaminating fingerboards and frets falling off. I am still basically a fan but I don't want to be the owner when things start going . Even the jack on the pre refined is unique and connected to the flex PCB. I have converted a few to the refined wiring because of parts failing.I have a pre-refined Parker fly. Since 1996, all I've ever had to do is change the strings and wipe it down. It plays as perfectly as the day I got it.
WTF. beyond irrelevant and spam.Small derail, sorry OP.

Eh. Bit harsh? People get excited when they think someone is near by them. Best thing you can do is not quote it and keep it going.Small derail?!?!?! More like pathetic, self indulgent spam!
You mean carbon-reinforced neck, or an actual truss rod made of carbon fiber, or...?Carbon fiber reinforced truss, really any brand using one.
