Thanks so much Amin…truly appreciated! 🎸👍

@@jimmyj4811 It’s a good question JimmyJ and one that I don’t positively know the answer to. I believe the fretboard is rosewood. I think the rest of the body/neck is some type of “molded/engineered” wood. Obviously very solid and certainly looks the part. I don’t think they used any veneer for the top/back nor pieces as I can not find any seams at all except for the obvious “middle” which gives the impression of a “pancake” build like the originals that Fender did. I have asked of course, but this is basically the only info I am getting from FF. Whatever they used, it seems to have worked well. It’s possible that they made up a formula that uses bits, pieces, saw dust, shavings of different types of wood, pulp and resin to form the body/neck. Sand and stain…but I am only speculating at this point in how it was done. Thanks so much for stopping into the channel. Much thanks man….🎸👍

@@MichaelLHill-fd3kw Hi Michael…thanks so much for watching and the kind comments. I truly appreciate it. Congrats on your new FIrefly and enjoy it!! So glad to hear you are enjoying the channel…my sincere thanks for stopping in and sharing your thoughts! 🙏👍

@@jackreston8188 Thanks so much for stopping in. Both guitars are the exact same size. Camera angle/perspective is deceiving. Same reason people think Tom Cruise is tall…😎

@@jameslanclos568 Hi James…thanks for stopping into the channel. As I stated in the video, these sold out within minutes after going live for purchase. Usually, Firefly will remove the listing from the website once a particular model sells out. You won’t see the sister “rosewood” Strat listed now either. Once they return in stock, Firefly will list them again. When that is however, is anyone’s guess. Seeing how well they sold and the potential demand, I would imagine they would be wanting that to be as soon as possible. Appreciate your watching and commenting. 🎸👍

@@JimmyStewart1 Yes, if they sell out that quick!

@@jameslanclos568 Yep! I will keep those watching and subscriber’s to the channel posted with what I hear coming down the pike! 🎸👍

@@matthewfarren5423 Hi Matthew!! Thanks so much for stopping in! Glad to hear you are enjoying the channel. Being a fan of either or both is certainly not a bad thing…😎👍

@@matthewfarren5423 Hi Matthew…that’s the golden question, right? Well, seeing how well they sold and the potential demand, I would say yes they will. The other part of that question is when, and I would assume that it will be as soon as they possibly can. I would guesstimate somewhere between the end of summer, beginning of fall if they have contracted to have more built already. So, hopefully soon! Appreciate your stopping into the channel! 🎸👍

@@matthewfarren5423 Not quite sure what this means, but sorry to hear about any injuries.

@@msantos7948 Hi Miguel…thanks so much man…really appreciate it and glad you enjoyed. So you hit the “lotto” on weight? 😎 They will certainly vary a bit, but most folks I have heard from are all reporting back in the “same weight range” as mine…9.5 to just over 10lbs… The pups sound great…the guitar feels/looks and plays great…I can deal with a bit of “heft”…👍 Appreciate your stopping into the channel and sharing…much thanks!

@@michaelmillican5592 🤣🤣 Gave me a good chuckle this morning Michael….thanks so much for stopping in! Much thanks….😎👍

@@2dazetake Hi 2Daze…thanks so much for watching and commenting. As per Firefly, they state it is a composite “engineered wood”…so whatever they used, they did a fine job! I see no seams (except the middle) and they even went as far as to give it the “pancake” look with the middle between top/back like the originals. Truly impressive and thanks so much for stopping into the channel. 🎸👍

Hi Troy…thanks so much for watching! I think they still have some in stock…😎

@@TheChristafershawn Hi Chris…thanks so much for watching and commenting. Good question…I believe they used the same composite “engineered wood” for the neck as well. Whatever these used, it feels great and they did a great job! Truly appreciate your stopping into the channel…much thanks! 🎸👍

@@BigBraddah Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Nice!! Congrats on yours and enjoy it!! I have a couple of Ash guitars that weigh in over 10 lbs, also a couple of LP styles as well. I agree with your assessment on this…weight somehow does not seem to be as important on this one…😎 Truly appreciate your stopping into the channel and congrats once again! 🎸👍

@@ranman58635 Thanks so much for stopping in. Funny…I see a lot of Firefly’s being sold for more than new price, but most of us are not buying them for perceived “resale value”. I will most likely let my grand kids fight over that…🤣

@@JimmyStewart1, no problem, isn't that inflation? Eventually, it drops. Glad they get to play

@@ranman58635 Inflation…no, not really. Inflation just makes everything cost more as the value of your currency is worth less today than it did yesterday. In the used guitar market, pricing is based on player perception and supply/demand. How many 59 LP Honeybursts were made…how many “NoCasters” etc…etc….funny thing is, not all “old vintage” guitars were good guitars. In the case of Firefly, they are doing things right. Supplying well built, budget instruments that one can use/mod to their hearts content without breaking the bank. Not “overproducing” any one model, which keeps demand up. People walk into their local Guitar Center and see a nice FF 338 or LP/SP hanging on the wall with a price tag of $295 and the Epiphone hanging next to it at $385-$400. I am talking used now…they play both and realize the FF plays/sounds just as nice and offer GC $275 for the FF guitar. Sold they say! They didn’t realize they could go online and buy a new 338 for $189 - $219 and even with shipping, come out ahead. Happens every day…especially with Firefly as they are a smaller brand with limited models and many different finishes that become hard to get once the batch is gone. As far as budget guitars and resale value, they certainly hold their own in that respect. 🎸👍

@@SapTheRashKid Thanks so very much man…truly appreciate it! 🎸👍

I been thinking to buy a Jay Turser rosewood tele, is very interesting tele!😃

@@jazzydog I have not looked into them…I will check them out! Appreciate it…🎸👍

@@davisworth5114 Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Yes, it’s a bit on the “heavy” side…I was hoping for a bit lighter however as I state in the video, I have no plans on doing any extended sets with it strapped up. Truly appreciate your stopping into the channel and enjoy that Jay Turser! 🎸👍

@@Krullmatic Thanks so much…truly appreciate it! Congrats on the new Tease!! Enjoy it man!! They’re just headstocks..♥️

@@JimmyStewart1 No problem. I definitely will enjoy it! You're right, it's just a headstock. Just as long as the tuners are good, that's all that matters. God Bless!🙏❤️❤️🙏

That bass added just the right touch. Great jam.

@@user-jz7ml7up9v Hi Lenny…thanks so much for watching and commenting. Honestly, I have no idea. I just asked Alexa to play me a slow blues backing track and jammed to it. Did the same for both the intro/outro but changing tempos and keys…appreciate your stopping in! 🎸👍

I enjoy all of your videos Jimmy especially when you go into details about the neck profile and such

@@zuperdee Hi PG…thanks so much. Yes, like I stated in the video, they literally sold out in minutes. These are MUCH nicer than the HB version from what I have seen, though this is only via pics of the HB. The weight was always my concern as even using “engineered rosewood” I anticipated it being a bit on the heavy side. I have heard that most receiving them reporting mid 9 lbs as like all guitars, they will vary in weight. I have not heard examples of weights for the Strat.

@@brianmyers157 Hi Brian…I think I will be fine (at least sitting) 😎 Truly appreciate your stopping into the channel!! Much thanks…🎸👍

o yaa i really liked that backing track! had a peter greenish vibe(gotta good mind) to it!

@@birdman316 Hi Mike!! Thanks so much for stopping in my friend…I mean there’s only so many shapes to make a functional headstock, right? 😎

@@birdman316 🤣🤣

@@papablue3015 Thanks so much papa!! 🎸👍

Interesting! I wonder why the Strat is so much lighter than the Tele…

Just weighed it again to confirm. I was wrong lol. 8 lbs 7oz.

@@mtandoLOL! Even that’s still nearly 2 lbs lighter than Jimmy’s rosewood Tele model here… I know there can be variation in wood density, but ~2 lbs?!?

I really wanted the tele. I wonder what other reviews will come in at.

@@zuperdee Scale a bit off? 😎

@@calbrockocat8728 Thanks so much for stopping in Cal…Yes, Firefly did this (and the Strat) justice I believe! Not a big fan on the HB version(s). Being that Firefly is a small company, they can only produce a relatively small number of guitars in each batch regardless of pre-orders or not. They will return for certain…😎👍 Glad you enjoyed…much thanks my 🇨🇦 friend….🙏👍

@@barbmelle3136 Thanks so much…🙏 truly appreciate it! Yes, 10 lbs is a bit hefty but not totally unexpected. The only other “ budget” brand I have seen attempt these was Harley Benton. I was a bit disappointed in how they “high glossed it”. Much thanks for stopping in and sharing your kind thoughts…🎸👍

Hi Ricky….hmmm…another cat video? Odin takes offense as he only had about a minute and 15 seconds of screen time on a 32 minute video. 😻 He loves box openings and I was a bit surprised that he actually fit himself into that 3 inch size box. Yes, I could edit all that out, but I don’t. He has fun… I didn’t mention anything about a difference in body size simply because they are identical in body size. Camera angle/perspective and all that… I appreciate your stopping in regardless though…hope you had a wonderful day!

@@AndrewAHayes Hi Andrew…thanks for stopping into the channel and watching. Currently, Firefly can only ship to the lower 48 states. This is due to a number of factors. They are a small company, that can only manufacture a limited number of guitars per batch. They would simply not have enough inventory to fulfill orders worldwide. Their distribution warehouse is located in California for stateside shipping and as such, has only been setup and contracted for stateside shipping. Overseas shipping is very expensive, and different countries have their own fees, taxes, tariffs which Firefly is simply not equipped to deal with, nor do they have the personal/staff to handle it. They operate on a very thin profit margin, thus the savings they can pass on to the customer. All of their employees are located and based in China…(only a handful or so) which makes logistics, communication that much more difficult due to language differences, time differences, cultural differences, etc…etc… Your best bet is to use a proxy type of shipping service from a stateside shipping address. Lots of folks have done this, but it can get quite expensive and will negatively affect most of any savings you may have been hoping for. Thomman (Harley Benton) out of Germany is another source for European customers looking for a good budget instrument, fairly priced. They are a much larger company, and ship internationally. Truly appreciate your stopping into the channel, and hope this helps explain a bit…🎸👍
