The original Parker Fly bridge pickup was based on the Tone Zone^®. The new P2 bridge model is one of the first generation of pickups designed from the ground up specifically for the Fly. It is based on new research and technology, as well as extensive feedback from players in live and studio environments. The result is a pickup that combines low magnetic pull with outstanding dynamics and wide tonal range. Performance in every area is enhanced. Bass and midrange response is very full and solid, and treble response takes full advantage of the Fly's extended range of highs and harmonic overtones.

Tech Talk:

Like the P1, the P2 has a soft magnetic field that extends along the string length and a ceramic magnet in a patent-applied-for structure that has as much warmth as Alnico 5, but with a quicker attack and presence similar to Alnico 2. The P2's magnetic field is about 15% stronger than the P1 to balance bridge position output. The increased magnetic "reach" along the string length results in a hotter, more open "notch sound" in the Fly center pickup selector position.
