This comes up for me periodically and it has once again. I'm cutting way back on guitars, and recently sold 4 in about 1.5 months.
I decided to take a break to not appear desperate on Ebay, because I'm not. I don't need cash (well we all do, I just don't need to convert guitars into cash), so I figured I'd take a couple months off.
The next guitar on the list was a 98 parker fly deluxe. I just found out that there will be no more USA made Parker flys.
So already it's a pre washburn model, and there will be no more USA made... The wee collector spirit inside me is making noises
I'll probably still sell/trade it, but it's funny how little it takes to push that collector button and make you reevaluate a plan you had developed.
