*Sold with a letter of provenance from Korg UK Ltd, dated September 3rd 1996, stating that Jeff Beck used the guitar in his studio to work on some new recordings

The letter reads 'I wanted to drop you a line regarding the above guitar which you sold earlier this year to Mr Bill White as it has quite a special history before it sold into your store. We showed this guitar to Jeff Beck earlier this year and in fact Jeff spent a considerable amount of time using it in his studio at home as he is working on some new recordings. We set the guitar up originally to Jeff's specific requirements which included a really odd mixture of strings and then we had to tune the whole thing down to a semi-tone! At this time we don't know if the guitar made it onto any recordings but because it is very rare for any of his past-owned guitars to come onto the market, I am sure you will agree it is a pretty special Parker Fly.
