I never look at the fret markers on the fingerboard, but simply the dots on the neck. I guess it's the way I hold the guitar (I gig standing up).

I have increased the size of the fret dots with some reflective tape and a loose-leaf hole puncher though so I can see them on dark or front-lighted stages.

My partner has a Parker PM10 Hornet, and I really like her guitar. The neck is fantastic, touch-and-go.

On stage I play sax, wind synth, guitar, flute, vocals, and percussion controller, so I'm constantly picking up and putting down instruments. The Dragonfly is basically a Parker Fly with a few improvements and a better looking shape. 5 pounds sounds great to me.

The Casino is about 6 and it's OK (So is my Gibson ES330), but I'm playing too many outdoor gigs right now to depend on a hollow body (salt air and electronics don't mix) so I'm using my ESP/LTD/LP clone a lot, and at close to 8 pounds, I get tired of picking it up an setting it back down all night (oh, poor me).

So judging on the reputation of the Fly, my partner's Hornet, and my tired right arm, I think this could be the perfect gigging guitar for me.

And it's made in the USA.

I really, really want this guitar ;-)
