I have noticed that Gibson quality control and features have suffered in recent years. I have an SG Special from 2017 that has horrendous fret ends, same with a 2107 LP Tribute. Both necks are unbound, which really sucks, but the pickups and the electronics are just fine. Maybe 2017 was just a bad year for Gibson necks. I also have a Firefly 338 that has a GREAT neck and body, but the pickups had to go. Replacing cheap pickups with a Duncan JB and Jazz is a great idea. I had those pickups installed in my '91 Gibson LP Studio, had the tone circuit bypassed, and added coil-splitting capability. It has been killer ever since, but it still doesn't match up to my Y2K LP Classic with WCR "Fillmore" pickups installed. The only question left is, which one of those guitars (Firefly or Future) has a neck closer in dimensions to a Gibson '60's slim taper neck, which is the PERFECT size?
Priced the way they are it's hard not to grab one. Of course you might have to do a little work. Be aware though this is how guitar collecting starts.😂 Thanks for watching!
Why so few subs and views? Just starting out? Good review of a decent low budget guitar. I appreciate it. Did you by chance check if your firefly has microphonic pickups? I've seen some reviews where they absolutely are not and some that absolutely are. Varies by guitar? Varies by model? I am very curious about these Fireflies. Before I drop $129 to $225 I'd like to get it sorted out. You guys going to be giving any away or unloading them at a discount? Just asking and subbing.
Hey thanks for watching!! The channel has been around but we have decided to take it up a notch. The pickups were a bit microphonic. The wax had not been done well. It also had a loose wire when received, other wise perfect. Check out our upgrade video of this guy. Stay till the end and we show the guts of it. ua-cam.com/video/mfDYe4f2vGQ/v-deo.html No plans for give aways and such at the moment but you never know. We,ll have some more Firefly stuff coming up so stay tuned.
I found the video entertaining and very informative.
Awesome, thank you!
Nice job on yjd. I am learning with your help . Thank You.
Stay tuned for part two. Were going to modify the Firefly and dig into the guts of it. Thanks for watching!!
Both SGs on display
equally beautiful to me
except that Firefly FFLG much more underrated

hmmm, and I don't have a blue guitar yet. 😍
I defer to the guitar expert.
Could you possibly lower the pointless intro music and boost + normalize the audio of the actual video? That would be great
That would be great but no. I should have caught that in editing. But once it's up it's up. Thanks for watching!
