The NiteFly NFV4 model was introduced at the January 1998 Winter NAMM show and begin shipping the next month. This new "improved" NiteFly guitar was equipped with a special Fishman® NiteMix™ active circuit that allowed the piezo and magnetic signals to be mixed right from the guitar. This new active mixer & preamp circuit allowed the two signals to be summed in mono and sent to one amp or to be split in stereo and each signal sent to a separate amp selectable with a pickguard mounted Stereo/Mono switch.
NiteFly models feature maple bodies and composite reinforced bolt-on basswood necks with a carbon and glass fingerboard and 22 jumbo stainless-steel jumbo frets. Sperzel locking tuners. Includes original gig bag, tremolo arm and wrenches.
