What happened to them ???? I have never heard of Voodoo Pickups ....

I give measurements ..... What I think is thin or thick may not be what you think is thin or thick..... Measurements of the guitar tell you what it is.... I try not to say ... I think it's thick or thin anymore... As I just said .. Someone else may say .... it feels thin to them. If you have been playing an Ibanez with their Wizard Neck .... then you would most likely say this guitar has a thick neck.... But if you have been playing a 50's Gibson LP you would say .... it's thinner than my Gibson... I hope you understand it is a point of view..... Just as every review is... BUT .. I really try to give the INFO on the guitar and check how the guitar came to me.... finish problems... fret problems .... Wiring problems .... This guitar had Wiring problems and should have never been sent out to the buyer... It was never checked before being box. I try to NOT be like other channels ... and review the product. Most UA-cam channel are DEMO channels. This is a review channel.... I point out what I can see and find when going over the guitar. Every Guitar is not the same.... but you get a feel for a company after you review many of their products. They all ... every company .... can make a not so good or a Bad Apple as some would say. This is why I hope and ask for others like yourself to POST ! ! ! What do you think of the guitar you received. Was my review a good review of the product.... were my measurements correct.... was my overall fit and finish review like the one you received. I'm reviewing one guitar.... Maybe I got a good one .... Maybe I got a bad one .... I don't receive product from these companies.... I order and pay for the guitar just as the viewers do..... I resell the guitar to fund the next review..... almost all the sold guitars from this channel are gone through from repairs ( fixing what ever it needs ) to a full setup. I have sold some as is ..... and tell them watch the review.... I want to be the UA-cam channel that doesn't push a product for KICK backs or feel gear.. ( if you want to call working for 80Hrs for a 230.00 dollars guitar FREE .... ) I do the 80hrs and pay for the guitar. Most of my review in the past year have been full of details.... and take about 60 hrs of time to do. Thanks for posting your thoughts on your LP's from Firefly. This helps others .... if there are others out there that need more info on the neck feel.... They will read your post and get your take on it ! ! ! Thanks Again !

Yes ..... This bridge had REAL Floyed Rose parts...... but was not the NEW SUPER CHEAP BRIDGE now being made by Floyed Rose.... Well Floyed Rose really doesn't make bridges any more.... I have heard something about them coming back to the USA for their 84 type bridges..... But this New Vendor only bridge is now being made for those that want a CHEAPER than the special bridge...made in CHINA by the cheapest bidder to allow Floyed Rose to get a little Lic money from the product. The new bridge has a printed logo on the base plate..... cast/stamped logo on the block... Very poorly casted saddles... and a super thin spring claw.... The locking block is also very soft along with the base plate.... I think the FR1000 is about the cheapest good bridge with FR name on it.... Anything under that is just not going to hold up.... I'm a 2700 Killer bridge guy myself.... but getting hard to find those the last 4 to 5 years...

Ya ..... use some jumpers .... and see if you can get it to stop when you ground all the pots together.... That helped mine..... BUT was still bad.... when I jumped the Bridge to the pots the noise went away..... Please come back and let us know what you find.... very post helps others !

@DominionFretWorks ....I used a multimeter to check all grounds & the one to the bridge was around 10 ohms at the strings, so I pulled out the post & filed, but the solder didn't want to stick. When I got it back in, I checked continuity again at the post & was good. I also ran the continuous ground to ask the pots like you suggested. BUT.... when I got it all put back together, I had lost the ground completely at the bridge. Could their be an issue with the actual material, or should I just try to redo the ground at the post?

@@mattarmstrong1562 sometimes.... The chrome / gold plating can mess with the connection..... You can wire brush the treads on your adjustment posts going into the inserts..... The ground wire at the insert is most likely your problem.... Run the wire bear all the way to the top of the insert.... Compress the insert into the guitar as you pull the ground wire to the control area....this makes sure that the bear .... Stripped part of the wire follows the insert as you push it in.. Make the wire follow the groves of the insert ... You can also wire brush or file the Insert where the wire is going to touch it ..... This seems to be a problem with this bridge .. I would say it a plating problem ... Making the ground wire loose connectivity .....

@DominionFretWorks .... thank you sir. I'll give it another shot tonight or in the morning & let you know how it goes.

​@DominionFretWorks ....I had a good ground at the post, but checking with a multimeter set to continuity, i had nothing on the tailpiece, other post, or strings. After using steel wool on them, I had ground at all these places. Gonna replace the tailpiece, posts, & inserts & hopefully that fixes it.

Ya the binding on mine was spot on.... This guitar and the firefly MADCAT have been next level guitars... ( Well the ones that I reviewed anyway ) You the first person to say anything about the binding.... I have not received a guitar from them .... As far as the binding that wasn't up to a 600.00 to 700.00 price point guitar. This was one of the best guitars from them..... The madcat was also next level. I'm not a FIREFLY .... Fan Boy and just say they are 100% .... I have received guitars from them that have been..... WELL JUNK... My first video was the Firefly FFMN... So many problems with that guitar.... and I also got a broken body Tele.... and a Super Strat with the FR bridge on it..... The super strat and the FFMN were the worst .... But ..... They have been the BEST budget guitars that I have found.... Under the 250-price point. The FFMN that was so bad ... ! ! ! ! after doing a lot of work on that guitar... It is one of my go to's . . . . NOW ! but it was not a good guitar out of the box.

I will be getting another one soon... mine was from the runs without the flame maple necks. So, maybe time for the UPGRADED model... Thanks so much for your input .... It is why this channel is here. Info for others... from the people that own these guitars ! ! ! My Madcat .... is most likely the best, I have received from Firefly.... Just a nice guitar.

ya .... Reviews here on this channel are .... MOST OF THE TIME..... spot on... I try to cover the guitar and show all the good and bad... Thank You for posting and keeping us updated on the products.... INFORMATION from the buyers is the key... all the posts about the guitar help others. But your right ...if a new player received your guitar, it would be going back as DEFECTIVE! Again, thanks for posting!

@ Happy to help! It’s a good guitar but there is some luck of the draw involved for sure. Noticed you are not posting much anymore so hopefully all is well. Happy new year brother

My setup videos ..... SOMETIMES ..... are the guitars that are sold off the fund the channel. My last 3 videos were guitar being sold off...that had been reviewed.... and then sold to viewers. There have been viewers that have sent in guitars for me to review..... and I setup / mod the guitar for them after the review and send it back to them. lately I have been taking a break from UA-cam due to the time and OTHER CHANNEL CONTENT. I really don't want this channel to become a paid by the vendor channel .... Or a channel reviewing guitar to make kickbacks from Vendors. It is very hard to fund a channel that doesn't do one of the above. Right now, I have 3 Firefly Strat models.... only 1 has been reviewed.... the other two are still new in their UNOPENED box from Guitar Gardens dominionfretworks@gmail.com E-mail me and we can talk .... maybe one of these would work for you...... I also have some Mid -Priced Guitar here ready for review.... Kramers..... Fenders...... But most of the guitars that have been reviewed have been sold..... LOL just sold the Volgoa VTL-2 today .... just about 2 hrs ago ! !! ! ! it was sold in its stock form. E-mail me and we can work something out.... The viewers makes the channel ! ! ! ! ! ! So everyone has a voice. I want the viewers to comment and talk about the reviewed product... Together we get the FULL PICTURE ....

It wasn't made ..... Sorry.... I sold the guitar in the stock form. The buyer wanted it this way. A lot of the fix video are done due to a problem with the guitar... This guitar didn't have really any problems... I thought the stock pickups were good... and a coil split would be nice. This guitar punches way above its price point! ! ! !

@@DominionFretWorks Thanks for the response. Yes, mine is also a very nice guitar, especially at its price point. I have bought several different Fireflys over the past four years and they all punch way above their price point. Thanks again, and again, try push-push pots. . .

ya sometimes they can have a BIG drop in output.

Love the SGX 2000 Express .... with the Butler ProValve 6L6. The AMR inline tube sweetener and the BBE make the system come alive. Thank You for commenting ! ! ! ! always nice to have someone say they like the tone / setup !

@@garyyeargain3706 ya EMG ... This is a budget guitar .... The EMG's cost more than the hole guitar did ..... A ZW guitar should have EMG's .... Your right !

coming from you my friend ....... That is saying something... Thank You for coming and checking out my channel... any pointers on my playing and what I need to work on is WELCOME ! and if anyone doesn't know LESTER ! ! ! ! go check out is stuff ! he really has a command of the fret board... many styles ...

That is a SUPER DEAL ! ! ! ! This is a WORK HORSE guitar. You can buy the Tremolo and Pickups for 350 ! ! ! !

well... Ibanez makes great guitars.... The Gio line that I have played have been very nice for the price point. The Leo Jaymz Monsoon.... It really does sound nice . . . . I have reviewed the 1st gen model and the 2nd gen model... Please watch both reviews... The guitar has some design problems... The screws going into the neck are too close to the edge of the neck... (the two screws at the end of the neck) Mine was cracked from the factory 2nd gen model. Here is the problem with Leo Jaymz Guitars that I have seen... The Fret work.... They just don't seem to have good fret leveling and good fret dressing. I think I have reviewed 4 or 5 of their guitars and all of them were not so good to very bad in fret work. The Ibanez guitars for the most part even at the budget level seem to be better. This is a hard one..... As I like the Monsoon. It feels right and sounds right... I know I said they have bad fret work ... witch they do... But they just have a feel and a sound. If you can do basic setup work and don't mind cleaning up some frets... Then go for the Monsoon. also keep in mind every guitar is different .... I have played some Gio's that were just next level at 250.00 to 300.00 price points... At the end of the day ... You have to like the guitar... and want to play it... If it makes you want to play... Then it's a good fit for you... Doesn't matter what others say !

yes scale length ...24.5 This guitar had a problem with the back bow out of the box.... I did like the guitar after the adjustment.

I have not heard that before..... I will keep an eye out for more reports of that.... I did order an Grote LP about 4 months ago... It came completely destroyed . . . . It was sent back the next day.... Neck crack at the seat and a big crack at the head stock... Box looked like it was run over by a truck... Amazon takes care of me..... every time there is a problem.

I'm not using any STOMP PEDALS ......... Most that watch the channel know that most of your tone comes from your Amp and Speakers..... Not saying the guitar has nothing to do with it... Just saying a good amp 90% of someone's sound. This guitar sounded good through my solid-state amps and my tube-amps. If Firefly has not changed the pickups in this model on their new runs of this model it has a good tone. This is a Review channel not a demo channel. My guitar playing skills are not up to a True Demo Channel Standards. I hope you watch more videos here .... I try to do my best reviewing the guitars and trying to get the best sound from the guitar. Thank You for your input and commenting.....

@DominionFretWorks but it's the distortion.reguardless if you have stomps or no buyers should hear what the guitar sounds like first of all .I have been playing over 60 years.And if I'm going to buy a guitar I want to hear what it sounds like.Guitarist don't seem to realize where to start when demonstrating a guitar or amp.I worked in a music store for years and I found out where to start when giving a demonstration.

@@LeonardLangford I understand what your saying..... but a RAW Tone on UA-cam = no views.. I hate to say that. I do no post editing on the sound.... What you hear is a room mic ... right into the video recorder. that is also why the tone is open and air-y sounding. So many thing change the tone and sound of a guitar... room size mic placement mic type the amp itself the speakers I can take a 5,000 dollar Gibson LP and play it through a cheap amp.... you will never hear the tone of the guitar... it is lost by the amp.... My point is this.... if you take a 200.00 guitar and a 5,000 dollars guitar and play them thought a good amp system .... you can hear the difference between them... do the same test through a cheap amp and you can't tell the difference between them.. They will both sound BAD.... I try to do a good review.... of the product. I'm honest about the product. Most of the time the product is good... for the asking price. Guitars now are great... way way better than 30 years ago. I have reviewed some guitars that did not have good reviews ... a 200.00 dollars guitar gets the same review as a 2000,00 dollar guitar here. I point out the good and the bad. To your point.... The only standard amp I have is a Egnater .... witch is still not a standard amp. I can get almost the same tone from it as I do my rack.... with clean tones and crunch tones... Maybe a little better with clean tones LOL....the Egnater. I hope you come around more ! ! ! ! this channel is open to all views... I'm sure there are more people that feel the same as you ... when it comes to my amp setting. every comment makes me think how to do better !

It is one of the best guitars I own... Great for all tones and types of music. I grab this guitar if I'm not sure what may be played where I'm going too.... I can cover so many different tones with it. Thanks for commenting ! ! ! ! !

@@DominionFretWorksit arrived 3 weeks ago and I absolutely love it it’s just flawless love the neck and playability. Fun fact I got this guitar from my local guitar shop where it was set up by luthier free of charge because he did demo for the store’s yt channel and wanted the guitar to be comfortable for him and I got it on sale for $1150! So happy with it thanks for the video it was very helpful!

@@mrozu2112 Thank You for coming back and checking in..... a good setup is 150.00 to 200 dollars now days.... Plus, the guitar is selling for around 1300.00 now... So, I would say you got a GREAT DEAL ! ! ! ! ENJOY jammin that thing ! ! ! ! its rock solid !

Thank You .... My reviews are for those who want more INFO about a product... Thanks for letting me know you liked it !

@@DominionFretWorksI am fortunate to have one - it’s great. I do have a Gibson Axcess also which is probably a shade better but that was custom shop built so for a factory guitar this is awesome

@@eoinjennings519 I would love to have a Gibson Axcess cut... The one I want is @ 5,500.00 right now. Maybe one day ! ! ! ! ! But this guitar is great.... It does everything I could ask for at this price point and more !

WOW .... what a guitar to learn on ! I think you will be so happy with it ! ! ! ! It is a great guitar .... everything you could want from a FR based guitar! Just play and have fun ... That is what it is all about. You can learn so much with others... Open Mic Nights... Or just friends getting together. Hitting the local music store and hanging out... and UA-cam. So much info here on learning to play. Thank You for posting and commenting... I think you picked a GREAT GUITAR !

This guitar can get so many tones..... It really is a go to guitar if you're playing many different styles of music back-to-back... I have been playing it now for a year at this point and can say ..... It is one great guitar. FYI ... I have seen it in Guitar Center for 999.99 ! ! ! ! ! most places have it at 1299.99 . So, look around... You may find a deal !

I have a few .... Firefly's that I have changed up.... and LOVE THEM !

This model wasn't... But I think the new ones are Roosted Maple.. Firefly changes spec from run to run... They will say on the listing if it is ... If it doesn't say it is... then it is a standard maple neck

Amazon.... Look for links in the description of the videos.... I link tools and parts.... not all the links are in each video.... So just look around in each video for a link to the tool ....

ZW clone of the Gibson ZW LP.... at the time they were only maki g short, limited runs of those guitars... They seem to be stocking that more now... They have a Yellow on Black ( Cream White on Black ) and the white on black in stock now... I did review that guitar as well ....

@@DominionFretWorks Thanks for the response. I've had my eye on the Firefly yellow and black ZW LP and the Tony Iommi FFLGS as well, but my wife says I have enough guitars. Wish me luck. 🎸

HELLO ! ! ! Moscow ! I would love to visit that city..... Yes the weak spot in this guitar ... the pickups.... The stock pickups are ok.... and everything else is just GREAT ! Install some nice pickups and you have a Great guitar for sure....

I have never done a Refinish on an Acoustic.... But .... this guitar does have a HEAVEY Poly finish. I wouldn't know where to start on that project. What are you thinking about refinishing with ????

Thank You ! ! ! ! I try to do what the other don't.

I haven't had any problems with Guitar Garden. Shipping is most of the time for me 1 week... and I have order over 15 guitars from them... only one of those had shipping damage. I did a review of the 335 they sell... Mine was very nice. They have made some changes from the one I ordered...they are always updating the models. The new ones have better pickups from what I have heard.

been taking a break ..... Doing what I LOVE... just playing my guitar and setting up my new pre-amp ! ! !

It is my friend.... Just taking a break... I really need to setup a video for everyone to chat... once a week. I think maybe this channel should go with an open chat night. I need to start working out the bugs for a live show.... mic up a cab /amp and also have a way to be able to read comments .... only done one live show and there is a delay from what I'm doing to what you see and hear. This is the problem I will have to overcome. I'm sure the first live streams will be a little on the RUFF side as far as production.... But I really think it would be a good way for the channel. I feel the need to let everyone in on some INSIDE UA-cam stuff.... That has really thinking ... Starting to understand why other channel do...what they do.... and why you see products come and go... I want an honest channel with honest reviews... More than that I want a place where we can hang out and openly talk about products... Honesty. The last year and a half doing this has really opened my eyes. need to do a LIVE CHAT.... and see what everyone thinks...

@@DominionFretWorks will be on the lookout for it. Been seeing those FF VH inspired Strats/MN on site past week. -Picked up a MN white over black relic with a Floyd Rose. About to rewatch your latest to do setup. -Also got the striped relic Strat on the way. So far a better experience than with ZW. Next project is building a couple of pedalboards.

I was my local GC had one for 1099.99 with the case ....... about 3 weeks ago... Great guitar for the price..... 1300.00 is the std price.... STILL A GREAT GUITAR.... Epi nailed it with this model !
