Sweet.
A couple of years ago, i wrote to Parker asking them if they had any plans for doing a rear-routed NiteFly. I liked the NiteFly a lot, but hate pickguards. They replied that one of the main reasons that they went with front-routing on the NiteFly was to reduce cost.
Well, last year they started doing a dual-humbucker NiteFly with a mahogany body, and this year, they've converted it to a front-routed configuration! It's got standard direct-mounted pickups, and a bolt-on mahogany and composite neck with those sweet Parker stainless frets.

Interesting that they've re-jigged the electronics slightly on it, too... it has a push-pull coil tap instead of the automatic split in the middle position, so you can get that full-on dual humbucker sound.
Pretty nifty. Looks gorgeous in that natural mahogany finish, too.
Just thought some of you might be interested.
