    I got one of these a few months ago. Swapped the pickups out for Super Distortion clones, painted the pickguard, put on Elixir baritone strings and used a tension calculator to choose what tuning would feel about right, ended up in Ab Standard. It sounds massive. Great video as always, thank you!

    After Phil's previous Firefly review, I ordered a 12 string with a 335 style body. It was flawless, but only cost about $200. Amazing.

      I got the six string 335. They refunded me some cash, because it was supposed to be black with blood red binding. However they sent the white binding model. They asked me if I wanted to return it, or take a partial refund. The guitar played and sounded amazing, so I figured I better keep it. Cost in total $135! I saw Phil review the model I was supposed to get. I thought, "Huh, so thats where that went."

    Out of curiosity, I bought a Firefly "Mad Cat" clone for about the same price. One of the pickups was VERY weak, though it worked - sort of. I put in a pair of Duncan "Cool Rail" humbuckers (thus doubling the price of the guitar), and the result is EXCELLENT. Looks great, sounds excellent, plays easily, less than 8 lbs. My Firefly experience has been a good one.

      There are very, very few bass VI style (JM body with a 30 in scale) baritones on the market, the only other affordable one I can think of is the Squier CV and it's both over double the price and not set up for metal at all (strat pickups and a JM floating trem).
      Previously, if you wanted something like it set up for playing heavy music you basically had to build a Warmoth, and that's a $1k+ build just for the parts.

    • @MoosicDude
      @MoosicDude 2 місяці тому +2

      A lot of guys who play these things don't use particularly high gain pickups because they really want clarity when tuning that low. Loathe are a band that really helped popularise these baritones after 7+ strings and fan frets being the flavour of the last decade. I follow their guitar tech on youtube and he does custom wound alnico 8 magnets with not a ton of output. They sound massive and the clarity is stunning.

Stringjoy strings are a bit longer than Ernie Ball and worked great, but ultimately I swapped out to locking tuners which Ernie Ball baritone strings will just barely reach.

    Mine arrived at my door about a week ago. 😀 The build quality of the guitar is excellent; no complaints there on my part. However, as I checked it out I found that it was setup with standard baritone strings (B to B) and tuned 1/2 step up to C. WTF?! I ordered a set of Bass VI strings (24 - 90) and put them on without issue except that the nut needs to be filed to accommodate the thicker gauge strings. I am not going to upgrade anything. I'm good with the sound of the pickups and see no reason to replace them; I can get out of them what I need for recording. I consider my $180 to be well spent.

      LOL, yeah, the TWO local music shops within a 400 mile radius of me sell all their guitars at three times what they are actually worth, regularly sell stolen instruments (I know because a large portion of me and my late dads collection was stolen many years ago and BOTH of these stores were the ones who bought the main chunk of them, luckily we caught it the day after they bought them) and have very little actual knowledge of the instruments they sell. Also most of what they sell is in HORRIBLE condition. The rose tinted idea of "The mom and pop store EXPERIENCE!" needs to die. Youre better off going to reverb/ebay and doing your own research on whatever you might buy from there. Also most "knockoffs" these days are on par with mid level brands at least. Ive bought around a dozen KOs from china, through aliexpress and ebay, and with a little modification, they are perfectly fine instruments, and on the off chance that you DO get a lemon, usually the sellers are very friendly and willing to correct the problem as soon as possible. Again, just do the research before you buy, and youll do fine.

    Don’t own any Firefly’s although they are definitely a huge bang for the buck from what I’ve seen 🤙

    I have 3 Firefly guitars and all three had electronics issues from bad grounds and wires that were not connected. Build quality was pretty good as far as the rest goes I have to say my confidence it not the best for FF. My SG style was the worse it made horrible sounds nothing coming out of it but a low growl sound. Not sure what it was but I redid the whole wireing over and got rid of the growl and it worked. Not sure what the issue was but I fixed it by desoldering all the connections and redoing all the solder joints. I have a similar baritone Fender tribute by Douglas (Rondo Music) I got mine preowned for $99.99 at GC. The specs are pretty much exactly the same as the Fender it's modeled after. I have to say it surprised me at how well it was made but i have always had great luck with Rondo Musics guitar brands.

    Just did a setup and pup swap on one, only real issue I encountered was also with the pickups, as they were microphonic. But aside from that, I was just as surprised how good of an instrument it was. Bands like Loathe, Sleep Token, etc, are using instruments like these, and these style's of baritone's are gradually starting to become more known/used.

      Technically since the scale is 30” you can actually set this up as a Bass VI. Just get the correct strings and set the neck and action and you essentially have a Bass VI

    As I age, my voice goes lower, and I wind up having to capo up the neck to be in key. This might work for me. I used to cover 4 octaves, but not any more, plus not singing as often. B to B instead of E to E. Others might try that as well. Thanks for the review.

    Does Firefly make bass guitars? If they do, I'd love to see you review one of theirs. Thanks.

    Would love to see Phil do a deep dive on the new Robin guitars! They started building again and I'm curious if they are as good as the old ones. Always wanted a machete like j from White zombie
