Dates of manufacture:
The NiteFly 3 (NFV3) & 4 (NFV4) models were introduced at the January 1998 Winter NAMM show and begin shipping the next month. These new "improved" NiteFly guitars were 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. Body and neck construction remained the same as the NiteFly 1 & 2 (NFV1 and NFV2). Production lasted until 2000.
The NFV3 was the three single coil model.
