The problem is you can't find it ANYWHERE unless you find a price gouging POS selling it for 499.00
It’s gonna need some tweaking guaranteed. Ha. And better tuners
When you order a firefly how long does it take to get it that's my question
These must be mass produced by CNC machining as the tolerances are so exact.
Your playing is over the top , your channel is the goat and man , did you ever thought of doing radio or voice over for animation or cinema. You have a really good deep bass voice . My dad pass near me and said this guy has it all , good looking , play like a beast and a voice to wake up Snow White ????????????????. Crack me up
Id love one very cool
That finish is sweet
You probably shouldn't ship a guitar in tune because of the tension and possible humidity conditions.
My LP looks so dull now compared to that one..????
Super fire
The latest run had the lightning inlays
Hahahaha 1:39 '' Someone honking in the back ground, See that's the kind of stuff that i would normally edit out but I'm not gonna do it. Now.." (hot unplugged guitar cord goes ape shit and feeds back like alien transmissions on independence day) "HEY calm down hold on i gotta mute this thing" Im dying you cant make this stuff up! No edits are the best! Bluepers are my favorite
Ace Frehley has entered the chat.
i was doing the comment thing about trying the guitars on a clean setting right when you went to a clean setting, so your rite…ill watch the whole video first…lol
I don't think any guitar needs three humbuckers. Hot take
Do you buy all of those guitars? Or did you get them free?
Please tell me where to buy a firefly guitar ?
What a BEAUTIFUL, THICK Tone. I would have loved to hear more clean jazz from it, but your rock orientation is fine.
It seems like a split-single-coil pickup switch might be VERY interesting, even if only on the middle pickup (or all of them). I can't help but wonder…
This just seems to be MADE for MODS! Thanks for showing – and plating – this great instrument.
I may also pick the Boss IR-2 as well, as it seems to be really flexible, and I love hands-on control, without diving into menu levels so deep you forget what you were looking for.
Pretty cool dude, more proof an instrument doesn't need to be expensive to be good..
I'm a little in, and I'm seeing that Styrofoam packing can be used to build a custom case.????
I don’t know how I skipped over your channel for so long, but I’m subbed dude
Hi Max! Starting to really like the videos, especially the non editing ones. Looking in the background I have a question. What's your call sign? ????️????️
Thorough and fun review as always. You take all the shame out of budget guitars. We didn't have these options in the 90's.
Hey max was wondering if you check intonation on these guitars i may have missed that part while I was working. Thanks
I appreciate your videos. I have made a purchase based on them and learned some sweep picking arpeggios that i applied to songwriting. still not fast at sweeps but i learned how to do it and improved my playing from your videos and some lessons
Yeah Baby!!!
MAX WYLDE ????????????????
So, I purchased a Fire Fly FFLPS Elite in emerald with a quilted top three years ago. It had major issues. The post holes for the bridge and tail piece were drilled over sized. Causing both to be loose. The saddles for the bridge were cut wrong and way too deep. The nut was nut wrong and the string spacing for the D&G string were not spaced evenly. The D&G string were too close to each other. The tuners would slip and the neck had a back bow. The guitar guitar would not hold tune. The back bow was so bad that I had to crank the truss rod in the counter clockwise direction way past the zero slack point to bring the neck straight. So thankful it had a double action truss rod in it. There were dead spots along the fretboard as well. The woods were not as advertised. The neck and body is all maple. The guitar is heavy. I was able to fix all the issues but I would not purchase one ever again. I replaced the nut, tuners, bridge and tail piece and all the electronics. I doweled the post holes and drilled to the proper size. I did a level and crown on the frets too. The guitar is ok for what it is. After a proper set up, it stays in tune now and plays and sounds great after all the repairs. The guitar looks beautiful with the emerald quilted top too. I didn't even talk about the finish issues which I was able to fix as well. I recommend not purchasing if you do not know how to fix the issues yourself. It would not be worth paying someone to fix a guitar that cost you anywhere from $189 to $240. You are better off purchasing an Epiphone Les Paul, Michael Kelly Patriot, Vintage V100 or any ESP/LTD Eclipse models. Hell, I purchased a Les Paul husk from Guitar Fetish for $150 and it is one hell of a guitar. I got all the hardware from their site as well to build it. The only major thing I had to do to the neck was set the string height at the first fret and polish the frets. I put Dimarzio's in that bad boy!
I've also have a dingwall mg2 5 string bass dark blue metlic blue
I've been buying lots of guitars before Trump becomes president. You might want to do a show with one . I've got a one of one custom v neckthrough v 7 made out of elm wood . It was handmade a year ago. It's beautiful
LMAO!! I'm the Burger King. Too cool, dude. Love ya, man. Peace
Thats outta sight,man.u play excellent…do u like 335 style guitars??
Holy smokes..thats a bad ass solo..max..i love it
Guitar asmr
Max, when you said mirror pickguard it made me think that Firefly needs to make a John Sykes looking Les Paul. Hopefully that will eventually happen.
When you check for fret buzz please do it in clean mode.
Considering it's not a Gibson, the Firefly is an amazing replica of the Ace Frehley model, right down to the Mirror covers for the volume and tone pots cavity, and for the toggle switch. You were mentioning the construction of the neck. That's a set neck versus a neck thru body construction. Great review and killer playing as always. I wish you and your family a happy Thanksgiving, brother!
Wish they made them for left handers also.
Great video. thanks for doing them
Where can I get one of these, I live in Canada
Hey bud,
Can you do a review on the Firefly Buckethead white les Paul type guitar,
$240
Would love to know your opinion,
????????
