Thanks for all you do Jimmy. Happy belated ThanksGiving! I own 1 Firefly the Strat style relic and have my fingers crossed for a firebird style (FFFB) to come back out!
@@carlfrei2419 Hi Carl..truly appreciate it! The Strat relic is nice..congrats on yours and enjoy! Never say never on the return of the FFFB 🤞🤞 Thanks so much for stopping into the channel…🎸👍
Thanks for the review of the FFVX, I was wondering how this model was. I picked up the FFLX (Explorer-type) and FFLV (Flying V-type) last April and enjoy them a lot. Sorry to hear about the snowstorm and health issues. It must have been awful without power for so long. Hope everything improves going forward. Take care.
@@sealedgravy3702 Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Congrats on your LX and LV and glad you are enjoying them. For the 1st snow storm of the season, it was rough..🥶 Years ago, we got a generator as this seems to happen too often out here in the sticks. It covers the essentials….heat, water, some lights…gets expensive to run for that amount of time but…we didn’t freeze at least!! Truly appreciate your stopping in…much thanks! 🎸👍
Another awesome Firefly! And another excellent review! I do hope you and yours had an excellent Thanksgiving! Get well soon! We're all pulling for you. Just in case, all the best for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! 🎊🎄🎊🎉🎸🎸
Just found your channel and subscribed immediately. Great content, great playing and can’t wait for more. Hope you’re feeling on the up and up. Can’t wait to see more Firefly content. I recently bought the baritone Sg style and wow! Amazing!! I bought 3 more thanksgiving day. Keep up the great work Jimmy!! Looking forward to watching more.
@@danmorgan9795 Hi Dan!! Thanks so much for stopping into the channel and glad you found it! I have a LOT of Firefly content on the channel, so take a look around when you get the chance. Lot’s to see and hear. Congrats on your baritone SG…enjoy! I truly appreciate your stopping in and the “sub”. Spend some time when you can..lot’s of good content already here and more to come!! 🎸👍
🎸Jimmy!!!🎸 🥶❄️🌨️ Boy oh boy that's rough to be without power for that long!!! I'm glad to see that nothing keeps you down 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼😊! Thats a beautiful blue beast of a guitar. A blue Gumby guitar with a pickle fork on top 😂. I guess I'm too old fashioned (old being the key word) and more traditional for that style of guitar. Gotta love that no matter what, Jimmy, you make the best of whatever comes your way! Prayers and best wishes.
@@jorge-_-reza Hi Jorge…thanks so much for stopping in and the kind comments. We did keep warm and had the basic essentials with our generator, but you really don’t realize how miserable it can be without power. It’s certainly not fun…truly appreciate your stopping into the channel! 🎸👍
I used to live in Wyoming, where the wintery weather usually lasts about 8 months ( I had snow in June one year). My crusty bones couldn't take it anymore, so an early retirement and a move to Mexico saved me... Too many near misses on bad roads, and too many hours spent outside on -0° temps helped me to decide to get out. Keep strong my friend, our prayers and good wishes for you and your family, continue. 💪🏼🎸
@ Thanks so much man…yeah, as I get older, the winter months seem to get longer and longer…no plans to move at this point however…we still love it out here in the woods…😎
The Tony Iommi style GS. Is it the black one? I want to get the black one but I haven't seen it back again. I did get the yellow and black (cream or light yellow and black) bulls eye SP and so far I really like it.
@ Yes, I think it was the black with the cross style inlays. It sold out pretty quickly…I would imagine they will do more. The bulls eye SP is nice! Congrats! Love mine…🎸👍
@ Yes…I seen it in the listings…nice! Depending on where you are located and proximity to CA will determine arrival. Here on the East Coast it usually takes about 10 days from time of order.
@@garettbodel3002 Hi Garett! Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Glad to hear you enjoy the videos! Much appreciated. Been a Sox fan myself my whole life and was finally rewarded with the 04 season WS win…truly appreciate your stopping into the channel and sharing your thoughts! 🎸👍
I’m not a shredder but I like the look of the guitar 🎸. You did a good job on the guitar review and the playing. Thanks for sharing and by the way I picked up a Fesley guitar In flat black and I am very impressed with it. They are going to give FireFly some competition.
@@MichaelLHill-fd3kw Hi Michael…thanks so much for watching and commenting. So glad to hear you enjoyed! This really is a nice guitar, and Firefly did a great job on these VX models. I also agree that Fesley is doing a great job as well. I have a few of theirs, and they have been quite impressive. Thanks ever so much for stopping into the channel and sharing your thoughts! 🎸👍
N.G.D. 🤗 it's beautiful Jimmy. I knew it wasn't your type of guitar, mine either but you did a gallant effort demoing it for all. Hoping your medical issue is behind you and your on the mend. Firefly did a great job on this one, it stayed in tune using the trem. Beautiful inlays too. You went 5 days without heat? I'd shrivel up into a fetus position and freeze to death 😂 Happy Holidays, be well and see ya on the next one ✌️🎸
@@davidkastin4240 Thanks so much for watching and commenting man….glad you enjoyed it! They really did do a nice job on these VX models… I have a generator to cover basic essentials (heat/water pump some lights) for when this happens.

Now, that guitar suits you lol! I wished they wouldn't have put the Dean headstock on it though. I never did like it. Edit: That Tune was bangin' my man! It was like a blues/rock/jazz fusion kinda jam!
@@DrMurdercock Thanks so much for watching and commenting. There was a number of folks who asked FF about doing these…they take customer surveys and suggestions quite often.

Hi Im new here from denmark how easy are thiese cheap guitars to play on compare more ekspensive guitars and sounds is different to hear its like to much diskant
@@jrgenjensen5158 Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Nice to see viewers from our friends in Denmark…welcome! I do all of my reviews directly from taking the guitar out of the box…in most cases, ANY guitar you buy online is going to require a bit of setup to get the best playing experience from it by changing to your preferred string gauge, intonation tweaks, action preferences, relief, etc…etc… In this video, I did go over some “clean” examples in the beginning, but during the “jam” I layed down a clean rhythm, but added some pretty aggressive distortion and effects to just have some fun with the model. Truly appreciate your stopping by and hope to see you around more. Hopefully you can take some time to explore the channel when you get the chance! 🎸👍

@@squirrel-1969 Hi Chris…thanks for watching and commenting. I would think they would go after Washburn first…every guitar made is a version of another guitar at some point.
