      Do they ship it To me, or is these guitars just strictly for US?
      Thank you.

    I got a Gold Top 2 years ago. My dad bought it for my birthday. Easiest guitar I've ever played since my Ibanez RG 517 FSV ( That I wish I had back btw). I love my Firefly. Would absolutely recommend to anyone wondering if they're worth it or not. It's amazing. I play it every day and want another one.

      That’s awesome brother! I need to try out a few IBANEZ guitars. I just love them for the sheer fact that you can customize it and not feel bad if you accidentally mess up the paint job or any other thing on the guitar. Thanks for watching!

    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.

    I recently purchased one. You get a quality axe for for very little money. Minor set up required. I'm changing the pickups, but like you said, they're totally fine. I just have a preference for Toneriders, which are not that costly, and would be a perfect match for these guitars.

    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.

    • @Austin_Westtt
      @Austin_Westtt  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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!

    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.

      @mikepeterson443 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@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.

    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!!!

    The answer is no, absolutey not they are not. Have owned several several firefly and they are definitely cheap guitars. For $200 you can get lucky and get a decent one, but the hardware is incredibly cheap and the pickups I’ve gotten are mostly microphonic.

I love it because it’s perfect to mine and I feel no guilt or shame whenever I accidentally gauge it. It’s been a good platform for me to learn how to solder and upgrade on my own, giving me skills to be able to do both on the higher end guitars when the times needed. 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

      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!

    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

    • @Austin_Westtt
      @Austin_Westtt  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      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!

    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......
