An Amazingly Versatile Signature Guitar!

The Parker Adrian Belew Signature Fly Deluxe solidbody electric guitar is an incredible marriage of technology and tone fit for a prog and experimental rock legend. Far from a slapped-on signature model, the Adrian Belew Signature Fly Deluxe is the result of years of collaboration between Adrian and Parker, and the results are breathtaking! From the built-in guitar models to the MIDI capability to the awesome Sustaniac pickup functionality, the Adrian Belew Signature Fly Deluxe is simply an amazing guitar.

Parker Adrian Belew Signature Fly Deluxe at a Glance:
  • A stunning guitar fit for an amazing player
  • Variax equipped
  • Sustainiac
  • MIDI capable

A stunning guitar in the hands of a true original
When Adrian personally stopped by Sweetwater to play the Adrian Belew Signature Fly Deluxe for us, it was obvious that he was very excited about this guitar. If you're familiar with this man's inimitable style, you know he's capable of wringing every ounce of usability from his guitars. And sure enough, from whammy abuse to monster string bends to otherworldly tonal squalls, Adrian put his Signature Fly Deluxe through its paces, and it didn't flinch. He spoke passionately about this guitar and how it makes him play better. Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer today and see what this amazing instrument can do in your hands!

Variax equipped
The Adrian Belew Signature Fly Deluxe includes a complete Variax system that is nearly identical to that offered by Line 6 (25 stringed-instrument models, 50 presets, 10 user-definable locations). All of this is accessed via the traditional piezo-volume control and a five-way switch. The guitar can also be used in "magnetic" mode by lifting up the Variax control. This option bypasses the Variax, and offers, via the five-way: bridge humbucker, bridge hum/piezo, piezo, neck humbucker/piezo, and neck humbucker settings.

Sustainiac
The Sustainiac feature is accessed by pulling up the tone knob, and offers "harmonic mode" (full clockwise) and "harmonic-plus-octave" mode (full counter-clockwise). A ton of cool stuff can be instantly achieved with the Sustainiac, including full-bore feedback without a blazing amp, and eBow-like infinite sustain.

MIDI capable
The Adrian Belew Signature Fly Deluxe is MIDI-capable, which allows you to build your very own "ultimate MIDI guitar system!" When coupled with an appropriate MIDI guitar system, the Adrian Belew Signature Fly Deluxe becomes a source of an endless creative inspiration.
