🤣🤣 It's a Great Guitar man...Glad you like the content 😎🍻
You might not be a shredder, like you mentioned in another video, but you are a master of the pinch harmonic 🤘
At least I have that 😎👍
Lol. Hes kinda sloppy at them. Maybe its the sauce he sprays on his strings
Ha! I had that motley Crue shirt in 1984 when I was 14 👍 0:47
🤘😎
Dang thatsa purty color!
Yes it sure nough is 😎🍻
Have an old white Duncan '59 that would sound killer in one of these 😏
I went to purchase some string ease and it is out of stock. Apparently some youtuber purchased all of it.....
🤪🤪 I ain't saying nothin
What the heck is string ease?
@@EXSENTRIX I have no idea. Let's try finger ease.
I’m waiting for them to do a take on the iceman. I have a tele and a V. Both modded to Leningrad and back
i like Firefly Guitars. I have a few, but no Explorers. Firefly has the best packaging.
Yes they do 😎
Best 2 min monologue ever , Carson would have been jealous Dave... Beautiful Axe , Skully was biting his fingers off waiting to see this Axe with that bone nut ... Love to have this with 24 frets and a tremolo.. and don't use up all that fret juice Skully needs it for his breath freshener.. love your rippin riff tonight ... You never fail to pull off a unique rockin roll one..if you dont keep this one Skully wants it for sure and your shirt as cohost to look a little more spiffy stiffy with you on your next show as he's playing along with you..
🤣🤣🤣
👍🏻😎 Nice axe.
😎🍻
They must already be sold out, because there's none on the site. I just checked. I bought the Charvel knockoff about 6 months ago, and yesterday I just bought one of their Tele style. I would love to have one of these Explorers! I bought the Revenge from Westcreek, and even though I'm usually just a Strat guy, I can't put it down! It's currently my #1. I need to get one of these Firefly versions. They make wonderful guitars. Rock On Stranger, my dude!🤘😝🤘
Edit: Are you running through a pedal, or just the amp? What is your setup?
Lol just checked the link from the video it says in stock..but my link is Amazon..not sure where you went 🤣 😅
Just straight into my Blackstar id260tvp no pedals just a preset on the Amp
Just ordered one on Amazon last night
Is that a shirt from the recent Crue tour with John 5? Love the Firefly Explorer.
Nah..I have it the shirt for about a year now..Yeah the guitar is Awesome 😎🤘
@@Dave6SS 🎸💜🤘😎
Wheeeew 🎉
🍻😎
She's a beaut Cark! 😮
I know it is Eddie 🤣🤣🤣
Do they do that guitar in left handed and ship to the UK
Hmm..2 questions I'm not to sure of
Great video! That looks and sounds like a very nice guitar. I am curious: What does it say on the truss rod plate?
Says "Classic" 🍻
@@Dave6SS Thanks!
Psa they are on Amazon not guitar garden. They do have a gold top relic though now and a jazz master baritone in stock 😊
Another FireFly DIDDY MACHINE
I want an explorer style gitbox!!
Ha ha Yes Sir 🍻😎
Compared to the Westcreek revenge, which is the better guitar? Which plays better?
Very similar honestly..got a Revenge a few weeks ago..got video done just need to edit it
Wow! The pickups are high output for a cheap guitar,future purchase maybe?
Yeah no need to change out the pickups 😎🤘
Great video man. Firefly has definitely leveled up again. I have bought 3 FF’s in the last 2 weeks 🤦 THANKS DAVE 😡😡. 😂😂😂
Ha ha ha Nice..Enjoy may Man 😎🍻
The intro to the ditty had some Testament vibes going on.
😎🤘🍻
I just bought the madcat of them. firefly is a game changer…
I also bought the Firefly MadCat about three weeks ago and I fREaKin love it.
I like toggles that are Tight !
🤣🤣
It seems most who demo a Firefly lately say the action is super low and you got to raise it a bit. I had to on my FFLGS it was very low action. Man I love mine. But I did put a switch in mine it was really loose. That thing looks amazing and sounds great. Firefly is putting in some quality pickup's.
Yeah at least the action is an easy fix..and yeah the pickups are Great..Thanks for Watching Bro 😎🍻🤘
Very Cool Guitar 🎸 Definitely Reminds of Rudolph Sheinkers guitar from the Scorpion's 🦂 I was Digging The Ditty I wish you would have played a little bit longer it was Killer, What was the name of it? Sharing the video Brother 👍
That was just made for the video 🤘😎
I’m having trouble finding the 10% off
Not sure why they do that..it was there when I did the video..and now it's gone ..other Guitar Companies do it as well but periodically put it back up..Sorry..I guess I should stop mentioning the coupon thing
Not fair, why does the USA get all the best budget guitars?
Good tone. Great DiTTY. Video is great also . I use finger ease on everything, I mean everything.( he, he,) go get um killer
Lol Thanks 🤣🤣
does anyone know if the flying v is every gonna come back?
They have a new V called Cerberus..May look into it
it looks very similar to the west creek revenge guitars. i wonder if they are made in the same factory
I wonder that as well..Got a Revenge Guitar a few weeks ago..got the video done just have to edit it..they are very similar
@@Dave6SS I have the green west creek explorer. I love it. I replaced the hardware with bronze metal. Guyker Pickups, locking tuners etc.
I also put old 1985' Cadillac car emblems on it. Plays so smooth.. almost could say it floats like a boat! Lol
I'm glad to see that it appropriately has some super-hot pickups. That's a rad explorer-style guitar. I'm torn between the Firefly FFLX and Westcreek Revenge models.
Honestly they are pretty close to the same..I did a review of the Purple Revenge about a month ago..if you go back you can find it in the Channel
🤣🤣🤣 Actually the Purple Westcreek is getting edited soon and will be coming up in the near future..Sorry about that
@@Dave6SS Good to know. Thank you, kind sir.
It might be me, but I didn't hear any difference between the bridge middle or Nick pick ups. Great deal though .
Every time I click on a link can't be deliver to your address 😢
Man that sucks
Whats the weight ?
7.69 lbs
Aaaah $hit. I like it. Dammit.
🤣🤣🍻😎
Lol seems like a pretty good axe, man I love the way you mix it up in your videos, all us poor people love a great budget axe, we love our vintage and rare, and in general higher cost axe, but are you really going to take that on a gig? Not if you have a great sounding alternative more affordable axe. You make me laugh every time. Thanks man.
Yeah..such a Great Guitar and affordable as well..Glad you like the content..Thanks for Watching Bro 🤘😎🍻
I'm 57. I'm on my 3rd FFLPS "bat" guitar. I want one of those explorer types but they're sold out already. They have cream coloured V's on the site but I'm in Canada and can only order from their eBay store. Hope I'll catch one of these soon.
I'm sure they will pop back up soon 😎
@@Dave6SS Fingers are crossed 🤞
@@Dave6SS I was looking at the feedback for my eBay seller and I saw that they had sold a “bat” V!?!? I obviously need one of those!!!
I love the looks of it but I have gotten three Firefly Guitars 2 LP style one with 3 pick ups in blueberry burst the other standard style LP in a almost orange burst, the 3rd an SG style in Blueberry burst all three duds! The 3 pick up LP wiring was a disaster very bad soldering grounds were not making contact because they failed to scrap the varnish on them when they soldered it. The 2 Pick up one was another grounding issue bad soldering but the pick ups IMO were wired wrong it was very noisy and harmonic. The SG I have no clue what the issue was you plugged it in and all you could here was an annoying hum no sound. I managed to get it to play I rewired the whole guitar. Aside from electrical issues there were some finish blems but that really doesn't bother me. Action had to be adjusted as well as intonation, nothing I do not expect in these inexpensive guitars. Tuners on one were pretty bad they just could hold tune I swapped them out with a set of Epi ones I had in the parts box. That was my Firefly experience and has held me back on getting another. I really like the spalted maple top . These FFLX are more Futura shaped than Explorer. I have an Epiphone Futura Prophecy that looks more like the shape of FFLX. I might get one if not the WestCreek that looks exactly the same.
That's a crazy experience you had..actually have a purple westcreek Revenge review coming up pretty soon..also a great guitar 😎🤘🍻
The word you were searching for when ya came out with; "budgetfriendly" is: "CHEAP!"
😎🤘🍻
Order the smoke last night.
🤘😎🍻
I'm 33....X..2 Dave 🤫you didn't hear that from me! 😢 I love that guitar! 😢Thanks 😢 Don't be calling me 66 or late for dinner! Or Shirley! Did i say thanks? 😊 Thanks 🤘 Daves little ditty! 😂

P.S.....🎸🌬🌪.....holding on !!!!!😂
🤣🤣🤪🍻😎
Honey burst my Ass .it's frickin orange no honey.i should have got the spalted maple.other than amazon.sending me two of the same guitars one I approved the other they took upon themselves to order for me. And the back Bow .was insane I almost sent it back .but I finally got it spot on so it's basically a orange tiger striped. explorer.so I believe I'll keep this one .o and I didn't have one uneven fret . very nice man .I am going to trade my other one for the spalted one .Rock on you crazy mutha .and please save some string eas for the people crying about it I don't use it because I eat barb wire and shit ice cream
Yeah I Agree far from HB for sure..but that's what they call it..and uh no garrentee on the finger ease 🤣🤣
Firefly does not to deliver to Thailand. Guitars you get in the states I can't get here in thailand lol makes no sense. Oh did you finish your song Poke Poke 😊
That's horrible Man..and Nope Nope 🤘😎
@@Dave6SSFYI, it's brother hawk ! I had to start another Google account because I'm locked out mine . Tried to send you a little cash and now my account no workie. It's your fault lol Hey have you ever tried a ltd viper 50 ?
@Todd-wg1zy No I have not
Im 51. It sucks dont it. lol
Ha ha yeah Just had total hip replacement a few weeks ago 🤣🤣
A lot of kids will waste their money on guitars like this due to these kind of videos. These are cheap guitars that require knowledge of setup, and replacing parts. Young kids watch these videos and buy thinking it’s a great guitar, cmon
They're not going to waste their money like we did back in the day thats for sure.. Back in the early 90s, when I bought a guitar new for around $200 to 250 bucks, you either returned it or you had to just throw it away . And that was even name brand low end guitars.. No matter how much time you spent tuning it or taking it and getting it set up properly, it just would not play right. If you did get lucky and it did go in tune by the time you played one chord it was out.
The budget guitars of today are ten times better... And a hell of a lot better value then back then by a mile. I have done some livestream unboxings before with $150 to $200 hundred dollar guitars literally right out of box..tune up and played for a few hours and stayed in tune and play like butter. In the mid 90s I bought a Jackson ps4 Guitar $600 NEW had to have it professionally set up, fret work was horrible also had grounding issues among other things. Out of the 50+ Budget guitars I have done in this channel there has been maybe a half a dozen where the frets has slight fret sprout or I had to adjust the neck slightly, also adjust the action due to string buzz..but I tell everyone in my videos about the issues if there are any..thankfully those were all have been very minor. FIY I'm not mad at your comment I hope you understand where I'm I'm coming from. I appreciate your comment..No hard feelings on this side of the fence..hope the feeling is mutual..ROCK ON BRO 😎🤘🍻
