Do they ship it To me, or is these guitars just strictly for US?
Thank you.
I have 2. I was fortunate enough to have purchased a silver baritone Telecaster. I replaced the tuners with locking tuners, replaced the string tree, replaced the pickups with bare knuckles.i also painted the control panel black and changed the tone and volume control knows. It is amazing. I paid more for the upgrades than the guitar itself. I also bought a blueberry burst SG. No modifications on that one so far. They both sound fantastic.
Love to see it! Great upgrades and the telecaster baritone at that ! Love that we’re in a day and age where you can get so much for so less. Rock on and thanks for watching!
Your intro solo sounds darn good
Thanks a ton and for watching!🤘🎸
I own a blueberry burst Firefly FFSP and it's amazing. It came flawless, minus a string change.
Hell yeah!!! Love to hear it and enjoy the new fiddle!🎸🙏
I found you tonight. Good show. I have an FF338 and a Blue Bat. And there will be a Tele style early next month, and another LP Bat will be purchased in a couple of hours. I love my Fireflies. With their addition, my stable of them will rise to four of the nine axes available in my tool box.
Thanks for watching! I just got the 338 with the baritone that I’ll be demoing soon. I think I might scoop up a V next and I agree! Great guitars!!
I have the yellow bat I was able to get it on Amazon in Canada holy crap the quality its awesome, I ended up using a US to Canada courier to order another matte sunburst off Guitar garden, still came in around 350cad with shipping I'm happy to pay that for the quality of the guitar
Hi Austin, I bought a Firefly a few months back and love it too! Great instruments for the price! Keep rockin'!
Awesome!! Which one did you get?!
I’ve bought 2 others since then because they’re awesome!
@@Austin_Westtt I’m a KISS fan and they had a purple/Rose colored ‘cracked top’ model that reminded me of Paul Stanley’s Ibanez model, so I bought it. It’s pretty unique!
@@buddylee246 I bought that one!!!!!
@@buddylee246 it’s a really cool piece and unbeatable for the price tbh! First thing I thought was Paul’s Ibanez!
@@Austin_Westtt Very cool!
I have the first batch of double cut P90's actually second batch when they put the tail piece and tunomatic bridge on them about 6 years ago. And a few months ago i bought a fflp/sp Smokey burst. Going off of the two i own i love my double cut. Great playing n sounding guitar. And my 9 pound smokey i absolutely love it. I have changed nothing but the strings. Firebird music has only made their fireflies better
Always wanted the double cut! Glad to hear nothing but good things about them still. I’ll probably get the SG next!
Thanks for watching!🎸🤘
I just ordered the Bullseye LP. I'll give an update when I receive.
Dang you got a “rare” one! I’m always trying to get that one!
great job bro
Thanks for watching!!🎸🤘
I've been buying them since 2017. They're getting better every year. Just ordered a white strat for $169 plus $27 for delivery. I've had over 15 Fireflys and while the FFLPs and SGs look great I like the comfort and playability of the FFSTs and 338s. The teles are my least favorite, but I have the earlier models and think the newer ones are way better. Just as good or better than Epiphones and Squires I've had in the $300 to $500 range. I have a Fender strat as well that is a excellent guitar but there is nothing wrong with the Fireflys I've received....but of course I'm not a brand chasing cork sniffer either. If a guitar has good playability and sounds good that's all that matters to me. I would really like to see a blind test where the snobs have to pick which guitar is budget and which is expensive based on sound.
I agree with everything you said! I need to get a FFSTs and 338. I’m kicking myself for not taking the Christmas deals!
So good to see others enjoying their instruments and I’m also a non cork sniffer. I’d rather have 20 awesome guitars than 1 that I barely can play because I don’t want to “rough” it up!
Do they ship To other countries than US?
Thank you.
@@jasujokelainen5073 I. Believe so! Just go to the site in the description and you can even email them🤘🎸
My man,I didn’t know you had a review channel on UA-cam..super dope man…👊🔥🔥🔥🪐🌙💫📻📻🔊🔊
Thanks so much for watching!!
They're actually out of all models now except for the Strat and Tele copies.
New drop on the 17th!🤘
Just bought an SG style after watching ur video
@@Quinton-zu6hy thanks for watching and great buy! Which one did you get??
How do you like the neck? I bought one, but sold it just because I couldn't get along with it. I own several other Firefly and Epiphone models and this was far chunkier with sharper shoulders than anything I'd seen done from them.
I’m use to baseball bat necks being a Les Paul lover so my opinion might be biased but I think they’re super comfortable! The action was perfect out of the box and honestly the pickups don’t even need replacing! I was very surprised with all the appointments you get for the price!
@@Austin_Westtt LPs are my favorite guitar, but I guess I'm used to the Slimtaper or a more D feel than this flagpole lol. It otherwise had some very nice appointments tho, I agree completely
still of the night inspired intro!
Absolutely!!!🤘🤌
After getting my first stainless steel frets guitar from Carvin (yes before Keisel), I promised to never buy another guitar without stainless steel frets. So for around $170, heck yeah I got a guitar from Firefly. After a proper frets leveling and setup, back of the neck polishing, and new strings, this thing plays REALLY nice. Think I'm going to start a collection.
That’s exactly how I felt! I cased my finer guitars and buy the more affordable options now to mod or just gig with! Great fiddles and welcome to the addiction!🎸
what exactely is the advantage of steel frets over classic fret material other than these dont wear out as fast?
@@toledo2983 You hit the main advantage on the head: it's so that I don't have to spend $250 to re-fret every few years, and for me, after the stainless steel are well-polished, the bends feel so easy and nice. Some people don't like that SS frets may introduce more treble into the guitar sound, but for me I don't notice it.
Subbed ... good job
Thanks a ton for watching and the support!🙏🤘🎸
So, I bought a 338 pro....in Orange burst, flame maple, orange triple binding, locking tuners, stainless ball end frets....come on now! I GIG the snot out of this thing....AND...I have not seen another one like it ( bought it from a dude at an auction $225).... unbelievable. I just ordered a new blue burst FFST (super strat-like). Can't wait.
Wow!! That’s sounds like a rare color too. I love mine and use it so much. It’s insane the value on these guitars!!
I can’t speak for the firefly. But I own 2 Harley Benton guitars, 2 high end epiphone. The HB’s are awesome guitars for the price. And if set up properly, totally gigable guitars. But once you try a high end guitar, you absolutely feel de difference.
I have all the above and my Harley benton might be the best feeling and playing guitar in my stable!
I love my Gibsons but I think for the price of these affordable guitars they’re unbeatable.
i had an agile in silverburst in the early 2000s that was only 300 bucks and was amazing. they go for 600 now, i wish someone would compare a firefly to agile.
Agile is one I have never tried but was looking at heavily!
really nice playing...
Thanks so much!!
Where do I get the guitar 7:33
The description has the site! They also sometimes have them on Reverb.com. They do drops every 2 months and once they sell out that is it.
I would buy the Adam Jones LP model, but unfortunately, they're gone.
Theuy go so fast whenever they do a drop! The Next one is 17 January and the link to where to purchase is in the description. I hope you get one!!!
Thanks for watching!
I've had three FFLP's. I wound up selling all three.
Really?! What models did you have?
They’ve been growing on me. I actually sold a Gibson to get 3 of em and swapped the pickups to me they play awesome but maybe I just got lucky.
Thanks for watching!🤘
same , i got 1 and its pretty average for 200$ , horrible tuning stability even for a LP , both pickups sound the exact same and one of the knobs dont even work , after buying this guitar and another budget guitar i realized there is no point of buying any small budget brands, youre better off buying cheap mainstream brands
Same here. I was really into them a couple of years ago right before and during the pandemic. I bought several from 2020- 2022 and eventually sold all of them, usually at a loss.
🤘🎸🤘
🤘🤘
❤
❤️❤️
They don’t sell it anymore what!!
It sold out quick next batches supposedly will be out in 1-3 months!
They had a buckethead one I wanted ! Reverb.com has em but they’re pricier
Everything I go to buy a firefly they're either out of stock or I don't have the money.
They drop some every month on guitarsgarden! Hope you get one!
Two weeks later and they don’t sell them anymore 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Next drop it January 17th!! Follow their instagram as they’ve already shared a few models that’ll be available next drop🙏🎸🤘
Let's be real Gibson obviously puts better quality into there guitars where as Firefly is either a hit or miss i have bought at least 5 Firefly guitars 2 i sold for cheap 1 is just okay and 2 i love...they were a lot better when they were only putting out production every 4 to 5 months
I disagree. I’ve had insanely horrible QC issues with Gibson and for a quarter of the price you can mod it and not feel like you’ve wasted money. When you purchase a guitar about $800 is should have everything you want/need. Here I can spend less than $200 and get a great modded platform but that’s my peace of course everyone is different!
You got to back up from the mic lol other then that cool video
Thanks for the criticism and watching! (Not being sarcastic)
I wasn't trying to be mean bro sorry if it came out that way
@@JoshuaBaker-eg6sm not at all man
I prefer more people critic so I can make better videos for you all!!
Nice work! Good to finally see more videos about this guitar! I got mine during the first run and put up two videos about it not long after. No demos yet but was thinking of doing a comparison to my Gibson AJ LP! After replacing the crap tuners on the FFLP and fine tuning the set up, the FFLP totally gives the Gibson a run for its money with the STOCK pickups!!! I don’t even hate that the fretboard isnt ebony!And if you want some info on Medusa and connections to Tools music, I went thru some of that too.
This guitar should not exist for $200!!!
ua-cam.com/video/a8_5nT1UKpg/v-deo.htmlsi=IvlxcqMACa7FAgOg
I totally agree! It’s insane the quality of them even out of the box I was impressed with how well it was setup. I’m ordering a ton more on the next drop!
Thanks for watching!🙏🤘🎸
Yeah well he's not telling you at the beginning firefighters very limited batches every style guitar they make he got an Adam Jones one. Which means somebody told him when they were going to drop he got extremely f****** lucky because this guy is the check the website like everyday because the scalp is there by that guitar and then they'll put it on reaper for $400 the next day. And he's just sitting here telling you oh yeah you can just get with you you can't get one of those you're very limited number of those made and everybody on the Firefly dying to get one of those even for like regular Les Paul's when they ever drop certain colors you'll be ordering it and filling it out you'll have to pick another color because the one you wanted the last one just sold I'm not even kidding you it's ridiculous. Never mind like I said you have the scalp is that will buy up all the cool colors and s*** and literally you'll see them on reverb for about $200 more the next f****** day. The only way he got one of those is if he was watching and watching and watching or somebody told him when the driver was going to come he stayed up all night as soon as they dropped he bought it cuz I know for a fact it was very little of those ones. And the ship is only about $7 anywhere in the United States those little more expensive because of the locking tuners and picture on the back and the rolling bridge normally at 5:05 West broad Street is about 227 bucks to live in the house
You alright man? 🤣
there are dumb questions, and then there are...
Bro put some pants on 🫤
What’re those?!
I always skip the guitar playing and only listen to the narration.
Thanks for watching!!🙏🙏🤘🎸
Not me!
Bought the John 5 Ghost tribute FFTL, right out the box perfect. I just bought the BB King Lucille 338 tribute (no F holes) due to positive reviews by FF owners and a few demos. Best sub $200 guitars, that surely punch above their weight!
Don't be stupid.
@@leehenderson8132 🫡
They're shite.
Which model have you tried? How long ago?
I’ve heard people say the same thing but I’ve bought 3 and they were all a hit out of the box!
Gibson and epiphone are overpriced AF , ,ltd,harley benton,and this brand expose that
Agree! Also, the QC on these are amazing unlike some others I’ve tried!
Being better than a Gibson is not saying much. The three-year-old moldy peanut I found under my couch cushions the other day is better than a Gibson.
Hahahaha!! I plead the 5th ! 😂
Fan bois defending their overpriced, over hyped Gibsons
I was one then got humbled!
Firefly...??
Owned 4.....all are gone.
Literally zero comparison to a Gibson LP no matter how much lipstick you put on it.....that notion is laughable.
Firefly gets points for consistency....pickups, bridge, tail piece , tuners....junk on all of them.
1 was a single cut Baritone....complete trash...in addition to bad hardware(standard on all models) the binding was atrocious, literally touched up with sone type of paste.
Contacted Guitars Garden immediately.....never received a reply...no follow up...nothing.
Ended up selling it on OfferUp for .50cents on the dollar....and was worth it.
If you want to try a worthwhile cheap import....go IYV.
Thank me later...
IYV's are head and shoulders above FF....better finishes, specs, variety in models, pickups,real FR bridges,Wilkinson Bridges......
Never had a IYV but I’ll look into em!
