Y.	Re: pickup question I noticed when I bought my Parker Nitefly that the nut doesn't even allow enough room on the low strings for anything bigger than .009-.042. That will have to change, I prefer light top, heavy bottom sets. Guess that will have to be filed out. -Y. (wyatt poist) P.S. You string "11's" on a Parker? Wow. Don't get me wrong, I know thicker strings means better tone (back when I owned my Ric, I used "11's" with a wound G string), but most people I know who buy Parkers are the fusion jazz/guitar wizards sorts that would play "8's" or something.
