It looks like B 245 T (shows the serial no. On four different parts of the gun). But The T could be a 1 or maybe a 7. Is there anyway to verify if the older parkers had letters in the serial no.

On the Fly we use a six or seven digit serial number. All guitars made before 2003 will have the six digit code. The first 3 digits are the day of the year, the next two are the number in that days production, and the last digit is the year.

The NiteFly uses a different system using either a five or six digit serial number. The first one or two digits show the month, the third is the last number in the year, and the last three digits show the number in that months production.

Serial Number 117123
11=(Month) November

123=(Number of guitar that month) 123
The Fly Bass uses a six digit serial # where the first three digits are an internal code and the last three digits are the sequence number in production.
