... and I add: According to a description read in either a catalog or a buyer's guide, at least one model of the Parker Fly (and maybe all) has a piezo pickup, in addition to the magnetic pickups. The piezo pickup, if used by itself, gives the sound of an acoustic guitar played through amplification, as contrasted to the electric-guitar sound of the magnetic pickups. In a sense, that is redundant when using the VG-8 or VG-88, which have, among their available sounds, acoustic guitars (probably both nylon-stringed and steel-stringed) -- the actual guitar serves as a triggering mechanism, and its sound, as such, is not what comes out the speaker. "Strat-like" may describe the overall way the Fly is made, except for the piezo pickup, but not its appearance, with that oddly shaped top "horn."
