These sound great! Those on ebay are chibson knock offs. I'd avoid those personally

Glad you like it, man! Got plenty more coming!

@ Let’s go! 🤟🏻

Thank you!!

@@BrianWGuitar thanks Brian!!

@@robertowens3484 thank you so much!

Kenji has been practicing alot, you can tell! He's a great player

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you so much!

Thank you!❤

@@bajeep4727 currently sold out. No word on if/when they'll restock

😂

Those are nice as well. I got one also

You're very welcome!

@@nihilist92 it's killer dude!

@@sole__doubt thank you so much! This guitar, would be sick black, with the red stripes and binding! You don't see that much anymore. The LTD Gary Holt guitars are Like that and they look awesome

After getting to play this one for awhile, it's fantastic!

I seen a couple on Reverb!

Thank you!

They sold out fast when they released them. I don't know when they'll restock. There's a couple on reverb!

It's untelling what they'll do in the future! That's what I like about Firefly, they don't care to make the lesser known stuff

@@na-fs9ov That's so cool! Get to practicing, haha

@ LOL yeah i definitely am

@@na-fs9ov let me know whenever you get one!

Thank you so much! And Will Do!

Glad you got it rolling! Sometimes it happens. Their customer service has always been great with me. Usually they answer back in 1-2 business days and have always taken care of me. I had a used one before that someone had refretted with jumbo frets, and they had put regular 10-46 strings on it. It played great I thought with those on it. So I'm sure you'd like it with that gauge on it

I'd just keep an eye out on their site. They probably will do more of these. They were great sellers for them. The just launch a Buckethead V, and it sold out in the first day or so

@@DeweyJHall1 Whoa they did a kfc V? If they bring back the Buckhead LP, it would be nice if it had the oversized body as well.

@@wootks yeah, the v is awesome! I got an unboxing video as well as a play through video coming soon on the KFC V

@@DeweyJHall1 I will keep an eye out.

@@wootks hope to get the unboxing up this week

They've got two versions, the one they call "yellow/tan circles" is the one that's closest to the ZW pattern. Or at least that's the way it looks to me

Also Happy Birthday!…..Yep…prob would’ve kept that version if I got it. I’ve been going down the EVH tributes rabbit hole as they play hide n seek with these online. Some say it is in/out stock, but I’ve never seen them do this with any other line so frequently. 👀

@@CG-gf7ce thanks for the birthday wishes! Check their site right now. I seen them on there today on sale!

I'm the same way. Only way I'll buy them is if they're used. Cant justify the full price tag when I know what I'm getting into

@@DeweyJHall1 100%! Or you must really love the finish lol. They had some cool limited finishes

@@P1nkman That's it! The best Fretwork I've seen on an Epi was the Lee Malia Signatures. They were all level. Even then tho, you had to polish the file marks out of them

​@@DeweyJHall1 I've never seen those before, look pretty intriguing! Surprisingly it looks like these were made in China as well. I bought my last Epi 2 years ago (50s standard), once you fix the standard issues and set it up it's a very fine guitar. But it was $650 brand new, so that's fair. Although you still can get better for that money.

@@P1nkman Yeah, with proper set up and work, they can be made to play great. Check out Schecter if you want a good guitar. Any of their Korean made stuff is excellent. Check the used market for a better deal

@@honigdachs. yep. It's hard to keep clarity when you start dropping the tuning. Lower you go, the more you lose

Sweet! I thought about getting one of those as well. If I played a baritone alot, I would. Others have said it was a good one!

@@jaxfernandez3684 I bet it will play so much better when you get it back! If that actions to high at the nut, nothing you can do to the guitar will help it, until that's addressed. Look at it this way. What this guitar taught you, will save you tons of money over the years, being able to set up your guitars, and trouble shoot ones before you buy them

@@DeweyJHall1 Agreed, and I really appreciate all I’ve learned through this process. 😆 As a math major, here’s how I think about it: if the starting point closer to the fretboard (the nut) is too high, no amount of adjustment from the distal point (the bridge) will make a meaningful difference to lower the overall action. It’s simple math-if the nut is limiting the action, the bridge becomes irrelevant for further adjustment. You can crank the bridge all the way down until the strings are kissing the pickups, but the action near the first fret will remain high if the nut isn’t properly set. That’s exactly what happened to me: my action near the first fret was ridiculously high (around 4-5mm), yet the strings near the bridge were so low they were almost touching the pickups. It was a bizarre combination, and it didn’t make sense. Initially, I thought, “There’s no way this could be the nut. A manufacturer couldn’t mess that up!” So I blamed myself for three years, thinking I was missing something about my setup technique. But then I had the presence of mind to question it: “What if it really is the nut?” See, setup instructions typically teach you to tune up, set the relief, adjust the action at the bridge, then intonate. The assumption is always that the nut was properly set at the factory. I trusted that because this guitar came from LTD-a well-established company under ESP with a reputation for quality. But three years later, frustrated and storing the guitar away as a “problem child,” I finally inspected the back of the headstock: “Made in China.” It all clicked. While LTD and ESP have great designs, outsourcing to regions with less rigorous quality control, like China, can lead to these kinds of issues. (Not trying to generalize or be discriminatory, just pointing out the reality of differing QC standards.) The problem wasn’t anything catastrophic-it was simply too much material on the nut shelf, causing the strings to sit too high above the first fret. Everything else on the guitar was fine. I replaced the Floyd Rose Special with an Original Floyd Rose (both are dimensionally identical, but the OFR is made from superior hardened steel), added a string retainer that the factory oddly omitted, and had my luthier lower the nut shelf so the strings would sit at a proper height near the first fret. These fixes were simple, but it was a learning experience. The guitar, a signature model, was otherwise great, and I got it for a steal, so it wasn’t worth throwing away. Now, if the problem had been too little material on the nut shelf, that would’ve been an entirely different (and more complex) story. 😂 But this fix was straightforward, and the guitar plays like it was meant to now. The takeaway? Never assume even well-known manufacturers get everything right, especially when outsourcing production. Check the fundamentals if something feels off!

@jaxfernandez3684 I had to file the nut slots on my new Gibson 80s explorer. The only string that was cut to the right depth, was the d string. All the rest were way to high. Luckily I had the tools and know how to fix it. And that's a $2500 made in USA guitar 🥴

@ damn. 😆 sorry to hear that. Gibson and American companies have fallen from Grace if I were to put it in Biblical terms.

@@jaxfernandez3684 After that it rips, but jeez man. For that much it should have been flawless haha

@@elimarsilvanikock7818 thanks! It's a beautiful guitar for sure!

@@bofuscrapshaw epiphone is better than gibson, some say lol

@@sole__doubt I hope you get to try one soon! Definitely try one before you buy, these are around 1k so, better be happy with it lol. Look around and see if you can find a good used one first. May save you a few hundred

@@sole__doubt thanks for watching! The ghost horse could be an amazing offering if they'd tweak a few things. It looks amazing!

@@DeweyJHall1 Its gorgeous with the green pickups and knob. I love the way the invaders look just a bit too bassy for my taste. I like the Nazguls personally.

@sole__doubt haven't got to try the nazgul yet. I do like the black winter tho! I have that in a alexi lahio v and it sounds sick

A lot of the Gibson Explorers have a the strap button on the horn, too. In fact, more than have it on the back.

@bligh1156 Now that Ive looked into it that seems to be accurate. My friend has one from the late 90s, I think its a 60s style reissue and the pin is on the back. Like you said many of them are on the horn like Hetfields white 80s model.

Alright guys lol

Thank you so much! They're definitely worth it

Agreed! Can't go wrong with some KFC lol

One comparison I do want to see is if they are wider than normal Les Paul types, because his is massive, and I could definitely use that.

This one would be perfect for B Standard. That's what I tuned this one too. The stock strings are perfect for B standard. I think you'd like it, if you got one!

I think these are regular sized Les Paul Body. I've got a comparison video of this one and the normal scale length buckethead coming soon. They didn't seem be any difference in the body shape to me

@@jakelee4508 you're welcome! If it was the guitar you wanted, then you got the right guitar. You'll play more if it's a guitar you really like. What kinda V did you get?

@@taz3672 that sucks yours turned out like that. That was 3 yrs ago tho, they've improved alot from what others have said. I've only had experience with them in the past 3 months or so. I've picked up around 15 of them in that length of time and they've all been great. I've not experienced any of the issues you mentioned on yours. I think 2 out of that many had 1 high fret each. A quick tap with a fret hammer put them back in place. All the hardware is solid, nothing is misaligned, etc. I know you're probably burnt on them now, but if you decide to dip your toes back in, get a new one from their site. I'm sure you'd find them a major upgrade. If not, send it back and get your money back. I think you'd Like them tho! Thanks for the comment

@@DeweyJHall1 I gave the guitar to my nephew and he loves it. Gonna stick to the brands that I know.

@@taz3672 don't blame you. Sometimes you just get burnt to bad

@@damianelford1774 it's close!

@@nihilist92 thanks buddy!! It's just to limiting in my opinion. And some guitars with a top mount, you can't get low enough action. This one was fine, but I've had others that you could deck to the body, and the action was still to high at the 12 fret and up

Thank you!

@@DeweyJHall1 💗

@@NegdoshaManido it's a better made guitar for sure!

@@bligh1156 love it! Oh yeah, gibson get you everytime. Mine had one as well. I gotta do a follow up video on that one asap. Life has kept getting in my way of doing a proper video on it. But I hope to have it recorded before Christmas. What was wrong with yours?

​@@DeweyJHall1 Nut was cut too deep on the D. Set up was all wrong. Paint and everything else was excellent.

@@bligh1156 I thought the D on mine was cut to low as well. Once I got out the feeler gauges and checked, the rest of the string were too high. I filed them down even with the D, and now its a monster

​@@DeweyJHall1 That's better problem than mine, but still, shouldn't have either problem on a 'high end' guitar. My open D would buzz, regardless of setup, no clearance above the first fret.

@bligh1156 It's crazy the prices they want for a new guitar, and you still have to work on it

I hope it's not either! I recently got another one, and it was better than this one

That's awesome! Same, I plan to upgrade to the ZW EMG set soon in mine!

Great Song suggestions, thanks!

Thank you so much, Eric! I recently covered Dream Warriors, and made a music video for it, if you wanna check it out, here's the link: ruclips.net/video/BB7bDsk3Kpk/видео.html

yes!
