UPDATE - SOLD!!

Hi y'all,

I still have some remaining gear for sale - all posted on Imgur (links by each item remaining) and on Reverb (https://reverb.com/shop/erics-gear-locker-508). If anyone is interested in anything (or want to group some items together), PM me and let's git er dun. The location is Highland NY (Hudson Valley area) and shipping is easy. Since you are a Warmoth buddy, your prices are better than what I am listing it all for on Reverb... Woot!!

On this light, gorgeous, magical, do-everything guitar... I am asking a reasonable $3,700.00
Parker DF724 MaxxFly Black Burst - modified with some VERY special stuff (mag/piezo/MIDI/etc.)

The upgrades on this guitar were installed by Patrick Cummings. You can check him and his work out by googling his name and iguitarworkshop dot com. Once on his site, click on the "Upgrades: 13 Pin + USB" and you will get the details from his perspective. Let me just say that Patrick is THE MAN. Not only is he an exceptionally gifted player and teacher, he is a true innovator, a skilled craftsman and a funny, nice guy. I had him install new Parker/Graphtech piezo saddles, the Acoustiphonic and Hexpander preamps and his proprietary MIDI/USB connector. He also replaced the pickups with MUCH better Seymour Duncan's (a JB in the bridge, an Alnico II in the middle and a lil' 59 in the neck) and a unique 5-way switch wiring. This has every electric guitar in one axe plus acoustic (piezo) plus synth (MIDI). Seriously amazing!

5-way magnetic switch:
Position 1: JB humbucker (great versatility in tone and strong output)
Position 2: single coil on JB and middle pu (nice replica of strat psn 2 - very quacky and bright with no noise)
Position 3: single coil on JB and single coil on '59 (nice replica of both pickups on a tele with no noise)
Position 4: single coil on '59 and middle pu (nice replica of strat psn 4 - very quacky and full with no noise)
Position 5: '59 neck humbucker in single size (sounds so sweet and mellow, but nice output to keep up with the rest)

3 Black Knobs:
Single pot for master volume
Single pot for master tone. The master tone is also a push/pull that engages the bridge JB hum in positions 4 and 5. So, in addition to the 5-way switching above, you can get both hum pickups in Position 5 and all three pickups in Position 4
Double-stacked pot with one ring controlling the volume of the Piezo and one ring controlling the volume of the MIDI (incredibly helpful on both!)

Other Switches:
3-way switch for selecting: Piezo/both/Magnetic (the largest one)
3-way switch for selecting: MIDI/both/Magnetic (the smaller one)
Momentary switch to allow patch selection on the MIDI device (also very handy)

Outputs:
Stereo Jack: Use a mono cord if you don't want to split magnetic and piezo outputs -OR- use a stereo cord if you want to split the magnetic and piezo signals to different amps (my preference)
MIDI Jack: Use a sweet MIDI device like the GR-55 to get any sound you want
USB Jack: I can go direct into any computer for recording or using music interface software without an adapter and the tracking is spot-on for the mags, the piezo and the MIDI. Amazingly handy!

Adding the relevant parts of the description from the Parker Guitars website: "The DF724 Features a carved Alder body with a AAA flame maple top and a bolt-on maple neck that utilizes our exclusive radial neck joint. The ebony fretboard is fast playing and features stainless steel frets and Sperzel® Trim-Lok™ tuners."

Is that Trem King a TKS-1 or TKS-3? What's the condition?

Condition is great and it works great!

It's the TKS-1. Here is the product weblink: http://www.tremking.com/vibrato

Here are pictures of it mounted in the strat that I used it in (and the JBE HSH pickups): https://imgur.com/a/YOMibFv

Thanks for the additional information. I don't have a use for a TKS-1 but could have found a place for a TKS-3. That's a nice bridge.
