Firefly is killing it. I just bought the Firefly 338 model. I had a professional guitar player come over and check it out he said it was set up perfect intonation was spot on. The neck was straight the frets were perfect. I wanted it just to hang on the wall in my studio and to have it available for recording. due to an accident my hands don't work anymore and I can't play any instruments. I now write with a mouse. My heart still wants to play that guitar. I can still bask in its beauty. It's the spalted maple model.
Best review for this guitar. Period! The humor was a plus! Thank you! I just bought this guitar from Ebay right after watching your video for almost twice the MSRP because these are I believe discontinued. Can't find them anywhere at reg price. Thanks again! You are a very talented guitar player bro!
Killer playing Trey. FF has upped their game. I had an FFLP Black Beauty 3 pickup, and an FF338 when they first came out. Both were great. I miss the LP style I had for sure had wired it like Peter Frampton’s.
Firefly definitely makes some KILLER GUITAR'S 🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶 ..My wife and I each purchased 4 guitars each during the Labor Day weekend SALE...The one's we purchased were $100 to several hundred dollars 💵💵💵 off each. Amazon, & eBay.. I believe typically the next deals are Black Friday Sales .. Already received 3 guitars total Still waiting on 5 guitars total 4 each. The ones sent USPS and UPS Came Quickly a few days HAVE A FEW FROM FedEx Which are Tours of The US . FedEx Sucks 😞. Great Review This Model is one I like also they have an ESP version of the Gibson SG Style that is hot. Awesome 😎 Playing Cheers 🍻 🥃🥃 🎸 🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶
Oh man, the guitar’s sold out 😢. I hope they restock!! SS frets, locking tuners, a rosewood board atop a flame roasted maple neck… for $229? That’s ridiculous!
Gone again😢. I want one so bad at this time there is only one on reverb for over 450😮 don’t want in that bad, would rather buy a Zakk clone or the bucket head
Trey, when you say that Firefly stomps Fender's original version, you ain't even lied! I have their web pages and specs up right now, and I'll tell you my biggest takeaway. Fender's full, fat sig model gives you a cylindrical (regular) fretboard radius of 9.5 inches (what I call Fender's Modern Standard radius) for $3,049.99. With the Firefly, though, $229.91 gets you that 9.5 inch-to-14 inch conical ("compound") radius! I have no idea what that feels like to play, but I will say that my fretting hand seems to think 14 inches to be the perfect radius overall. Gonna be hard to resist this one!
Would be cool if we could see this next to a legit John 5, if you can find one at a local shop. Looks pretty close, but would be fun to see how it stacks up side by side. Would be cool if Firefly made a Buckethead copy while they’re at it. Those would going flying off the shelves if they get the specs just right!
The legit John 5 is roughly 3k, and the only difference is the fretboard is painted and the headstock says fender. I may get my hands on the FF bucket.
I see you’re liking my favourite budget guitars, very cool. Firefly is great, except they don’t ship to Canada yet. I’m not much for signature/tribute guitars, but I love that tele. I’d change the pickups to black ones and change the switch to black as well. Basically get rid of as much red as I could. Or, I’d just buy their other tele with the two humbuckers and the up top switch. I can’t wait til they start to ship guitars here. I already have 5 of their FFSP’s. It does come off very LPish with the 2 buckers. As usual you’re tearing it to pieces. Nice.
Oh yesss! Sounds amazing my man. Great demo. I'm so addicted to these firefly guitar now. So far i've got the ffsp, fftl, ffst, ff338. and the baritone. i think I might need to get this one too wow
I just got one before it sold out again. Bone nut was cut just a hair too low on A and D strings, not sure how you can get red bone powder to fill it. But the buzz is not strong enought to hear through the amp, so I am not going to lose any sleep over that. Frets were not polished, so there was grittiness when bending strings (easy fix). Otherwise pretty amazing guitar for $225. Neck is fantastic. Good as any guitar 3 times the price.
@TreyShreddings hey Trey! Mine just showed up today. That was super fast shipping. Ive only inspected and tuned it and im blown away so far. Havent had time to plug it in but man its a great neck and body and fret job. And the tuners are fantastic looks like, being locking tuners. I think I will love this guitar!
I got one.The pickups didn't even need changed that neck pickup is ok but I'm not changing anything.did the pickups surprise you? I love the bridge pickup. It overall is one of my favorite guitars now.
Dude, I play lefty too, and I just watch these videos knowing there won't be one I can play available. I'm just being happy with my Mexican tele and my few other beaters.
Thanks for the info. I saw someone put some kind of white sticker fretboard or something on it and it looked really close. The neck on this thing is awesome stock! Please consider subscribing!
@@TreyShreddings This guitar is still blowing my mind. I have mained this thing since I got it. lol Absolutely amazing for the money. PLays as good as my over priced "dream" guitar
I’ve only seen and heard great things about FF. Imagine being able to get this kind of gear at these prices when we were coming up in the 80’s. Say, what amp software are you using there on your Mac? Can’t quite tell the logo. 🤘
Seriously tempted to get one and paint the neck white to look like the real deal. Fender and Squier are leaving so much money on the table not making more of these
Are they listed under a specific drop down on the site? Or would it just be under the FFTL models if there in stock Thanks. Great review man. Would love to get one. Hopefully the restock.
Damn it man i swore i wasn't going to buy any more guitars this year, what are you doing to me here? I have to have one now amazing playing and absolutely brilliant song , what software/hardware are you playing through if you don't mind me asking. subbed!
@@msantos7948 Thanks! The neck that works best for me is what Schecter calls a "Thin C." Also love the neck on the Harley Benton TE-62. Not sure how these compare to a Modern C.

Looks like a thousand bucks and sounds KILLER! John 5 is such a great artist, Firefly picked a winner!
It’s a killer guitar! Really surprised me!
Yep, man you were rocking it!! Bought a FF last winter, what a guitar and it really plays great. Thanks man!
Great to hear!

Glad I could help! Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Excelent playing! Sounds killer
Thank you! Glad you liked the video!
Nice representation of the sound of the guitar and tonal capabilities. Great review!
Thank you kindly!
Killing it like always
That’s brotha!
Love the roasted flame neck. Great guitar, and great video!
Yes! Thank you!

Just wait till you need frets dressed on that compound radius.
Have fun.
@@chippsterstephens6800 Got one at home. Can't wait! (Said sarcastically!😎)
@@chippsterstephens6800you don’t need them dressed because they are stainless steel.
@@chippsterstephens6800 It's really not an issue at all. Neither is leveling them.
I bought one and it is now my go to guitar even better than my Tele with SD Quarter Pounders.
That really is a killer guitar. The fun you had with that kill switch makes me want to go home and try the one I just installed on a solo.
Trey yes it's a killer guitar and as usual you nailed it! 👍🎸
Does sound a lot like a LP with the HH. Coil Split and that's one Telecaser that covers LP & Tele territory.

they do make 2 different buckethead guitars one regular les paul length and one in his baritone length...they just sell out quick
Loved this! Outstanding review and playing. I bought one at the beginning of the year when they first dropped them, and I was blown away.

@@TreyShreddings for sure! 👍
Always great playing Trey!
Thanks micalini!
Great video!! Hope to shred like you do one day
You can do it!
Love what you did with this video....
i just subs..thank, you are awesome! keep on rocking!
Thanks for the sub!
Oh yeah 👍 get you some of that Trey guitar ✌️😎
Perfect way to Start the Day !
Great Video as always Brother..
Now off the get an MRI & see if they can fix my arm...
dude - that was some tasty playing. i have their regular tele that i bought for $149. it's insane how much guitar i got for so little money.
Thanks man! Please consider subscribing
Nice guitar picking dude
Thanks!
Sick. Nice shredding.
Thanks!
That is really good!

Mine arrives tomorrow
I really enjoy listening to you play ! and that is really nice guitar as well. Killer sound. What interface do you use?
I’m using a Scarlett 2 channel focusrite
Ok Trey fine I ordered one. 😮
Awesome! Hope you like it!

Havent had time to plug it in but man its a great neck and body and fret job. And the tuners are fantastic looks like, being locking tuners. I think I will love this guitar!
Badass! You make it sound good. Can you have Sean tear it apart now and make a video? ❤
Thanks!
@TreyShreddings Absolutely! I've always been interested in this guitar so its cool to see you shredding on it. Great value. Great video. 😃
I got one.The pickups didn't even need changed that neck pickup is ok but I'm not changing anything.did the pickups surprise you? I love the bridge pickup. It overall is one of my favorite guitars now.
The pickups were really nice. Definitely surprised!
If I'm not mistaken he has 2 Ghosts...one with a Floyd Rose and one without (for his Crue Stuff). Do you think you would like one with an FR?
Listen, don't pay double on Reverb, just wait, they will be back in stock, its worth the wait I promise.
Is there anyway to get notified when those john 5’s are in stock? I’ve wanted one so bad and everytime I go on there not there.
@@pyroguy5766 Not sure, was a couple on Reverb the other day though, idk how over priced they were though
You could give this dude, Trey, a guitair made out of cardboard and he would make it sound incredible. The dude is an incredible player. Wow!
There's an old video here on YT somewhere where Fender makes a strat out of cardboard. Still sounded just like a strat.
It's a shame that they make zero lefthand. Cause I would buy it right now.
Man that must be rough, sorry bro!
Dude, I play lefty too, and I just watch these videos knowing there won't be one I can play available. I'm just being happy with my Mexican tele and my few other beaters.
Wow....nice tele sir.
Glad you like it!
I got one of these and i think its a pretty nice guitar for the price!
Did you have to do any intonation work? Sounds good.
No it has the same strings it came with still
Ebay may or may not have the white matching necks. I may or may not have already ordered one. Also, Tone Ninja makes the red tuner washers.

One day after this video was posted there was ten left. They all sold out in one day lol thank god I put my order in b4 they you posted review lol.
They sold out probably with the help of this video
@@TreyShreddings They absolutely did they wasn't moving for a min. Didn't think I'd get one lol.
@@scootergold looks like there’s one on the website
@@TreyShreddings Yeah they dropped 30 more last night lol.
Super great show
Very Good and entertaining:)

They are under the FFTL tab, if they aren’t there, they are sold out. Not sure when they will be restocking these
One bad thing about Firefly guitars; no left handed models.
Tom Sisson
I’m sorry about that, must be hard pickings for lefty’s
What!!!! I need this
Love it............
Thanks Jack!
Damn it man i swore i wasn't going to buy any more guitars this year, what are you doing to me here? I have to have one now
amazing playing and absolutely brilliant song , what software/hardware are you playing through if you don't mind me asking. subbed!
@@mattdylan664 I use amplitube 5 for my sounds in this video!
That kill switch is damn skippy!
Cool looking guitar
Thanks! It rips!
you make it sound like a 5K guitar unreal awesome... these guitars sell like Gold ,, a budget guitar that sells for more than new
Thank you!
🤘🍻🤘
Nice!
Is the neck thin or chunky? Did you check the intonation?
Medium neck, I’d say. I didn’t have to do anything to it, played it with the strings it came with.
The neck is a modern C. Very comfortable.
@@msantos7948 Thanks! The neck that works best for me is what Schecter calls a "Thin C." Also love the neck on the Harley Benton TE-62. Not sure how these compare to a Modern C.
Unfortunately they can only be found in the USA.
So you played both back to back?
Right?
Right?
You watched the whole video?
Right?
Right?
Was that Josh chasing you 😂😂
No lol
I just don't like where the switch is. That's the only thing I don't like about it. Otherwise bad ass guitar.
im so used to the switch there. i love it. thanks for watching
Finally a buckethead kinda guitar I can afford
Firefly makes a bucket head les Paul
@@chadsmalley5241 I want it
is this thing available anywhere in Europe?
Not at the moment
@@TreyShreddings bummer, makes it non-budget 😞
I guess you have to remove The pickguard, to adjust the truss rod.let Sean look at it.
No. It has the wheel adjustment
ThAnks, I never heard of a wheel ajustment.
@@RobinGinter-rn2tq there’s a wheel at the end of the fretboard near the neck pickup. It’s pretty convenient
cool vid .... tell Shaun to stop chasing you around your yard Didn't you play that Tele in a live show with GreenTree ?
lol. Thanks Yes I did play it with my band. I wanted to see how it would hold up being used live. Didn’t disappoint
Soft V neck?
Modern C not too fat not too thin.
Did you work on this guitar at all? Where's Sean wtf?
Dude this is my channel, NOT scar my guitar, I didn’t NEED to work on this guitar. Wtf?
@@TreyShreddingsThat's awesome!
