    I just bought one of these three weeks ago. Came in the wrong color from what I ordered. Whatever, they gave me a minor discount to keep it. But the sound was aweful. Pickups sounded dead or muted or something. So I changed them out for The Bald Shredder's preferred Donlis pickups and they saved the day. Still don't like the color I ended up with.

    Let's keep it real since Firefly ramped up production the quality has gone down , i bought a FFVX and a FFLGS the FFVx was horrible not going in to details cause i'm trying to keep it short and the other one i bought with a few adjustments is just okay but i expected better they were awesome when they only came out every 3 or 4 months and as of right now only one FFSP is under 1.69 a Fluorescent one yuck! lol

    I just bought there, what is basically their Charvel model. It's the white one with the two humbuckers and "Floyd Rose". I can't believe how good it is for $200! It's made.of mahogany, has a roasted maple neck, real rosewood fingerboard, locking tuners, jumbo stainless steel frets, alnico pickups and coil split. It came perfectly setup, except the strings were crap and I changed them. The neck is thin and compound radiused 10-14. Both pickups sound amazing, even with the coil split! I mean, you slap a brand name on it, and they could charge $1500 all day long. I just bought a Strat Player Plus, because the place I got it had a deal I couldn't refuse, and I bought an Epi Explorer and had it pleck'd, from Sweetwater, but I find myself reaching for the Firefly more often than not. It's that good! I thought for sure it was hype, and I would be the one to get a crappy one lol. I think they even set it up before they ship it out. I think they use nitro as well, because when I opened the Styrofoam, it reeked of it. Plus, the gloss shines differently than poly. If you're on the fence, you should pull the trigger. If it wasn't good , I sure as hell wouldn't be writing this! I think I'll get the Les Paul too. They don't have them in stock, but now they're making an EVH 5150 red and white Frankie clone now, for like $300.
    Edit: I've got to get one of these LP copies now. You make me want to quit playing! You are freakin' phenomenally awesome!

    The thing with some guitarists who are just average or below think you need a 2 grand guitar to sound good, kind of like golfers who think they need expensive clubs to play better golf. but you prove time and time again it’s not the price of a guitar, but the skill of guitar playing.
