Mark Farner

Along the video, we can see Mark using his custom Musicraft Messenger Guitar.

“I love it. It made a better guitar player out of me because it’s so precise. The neck is wider than any other guitar I’ve ever played, and when I do the vibrato on the high E string, I don’t pull it over the edge of the fret board like I would on my Strat or Tele. It’s such a pleasure to play, and those frets never change – there’s no wear at all. I’ve been playing the same Fly since ’96 and there is zero fret wear. That’s my baby.”

"Farner still owns the original Musicraft Messenger guitar he used with Grand Funk, while his acoustics include a Guild D-32 and a Gibson J-45. His main guitar for nearly 20 years has been a Parker Fly."
