    I almost always install locking tuners so I typically start with new strings. My FFLG in Lizard burst is on it's way. :D

    I got mine but it came with the two-tone humbuckers instead of the chrome which I did not want I wanted the chrome .. Dialed it in minutes ,it’s great playing guitar once I took those strings off which Feel like 10’s and by the way your mixes sound amazing what stuff do you use?

    Hey I love the music you played. Great stuff. I got a couple of questions. I plan on getting the Malibu Sunset Color one. But on this guitar, can I put some PAF style or burstbucker or classic 57 pickups? I play a lot of classic rock, i.e., AC/DC, Zeppelin, Beatles, CCR. Green Day and so on. In addition, do you think I should replace the pots and caps and put some orange drops on the electronics? Sorry for the many questions. Thank you for posting this.

    Good review. Great to see the tear down on this. Would have liked to have seen the pickup resistance measurements but nice to see the tenon length. The pickups may be wax potted but they’re still microphonic. At least they are on mine.
    P.S. the stripper music when taking off the plastic 😆😂😂

    What bridges do you usually use? Gotoh is usually my go-to, and if I keep my FFLG I'll need a better bridge. On my guitar, the fret ends were well finished, but I had to glue down 1 fret and the frets were so uneven that I had to level and recrown. Overall though, I'm warming up to it.

    • @TheTapeFarm
      @TheTapeFarm  3 года назад +1

      I usually get a bridge from guitarfetish.com. They’re about $15 and they’re really good. I was thinking about trying a Gotoh or a Wilkinson this time.

      Pretty sure those were the stock string. If not they were do you D’addario XL 09’s. Pretty sure I used an amp sim, probably the Overloud TH-U plug in.

    It’s a looker for sure. Seems kind of thick for an SG type.

    I just purchased one in Sept., my question is with the 3 way switch in the middle position I can have one pickup turned to 0 and increase volume on the other pu and it plays, is this normal for a SG style guitar ? unlike my FF338 it will not play unless there is volume turn up on both pu's. Thanks in Advance

    • @TheTapeFarm
      @TheTapeFarm  3 года назад

    You forgot Scallop Fishermen, and we called that exclusive little inconvenience "The Grip", and it didn't just afflict one finger, oh no sir, it did all 4 and your thumb too...would get so bad you had to sleep with your Shucking Knife or else you could NOT open your hand from a fist, hence "The Grip"...

    It's all well and good to review guitars and all but since you can't get this one anywhere except on Ebay (for 2 to 3 times the price) I think it's probably a mute point! If I can't get one then what is the point!

      Yeah, Firefly guitars sell out FAST! One has to jump on the opportunity and get while the getting is good. I had to wait quite a while for the models I wanted to be restocked, but they have been, and placed my order yesterday. I would highly advise you to go to their website now, and buy the model you want if it is in stock. It might take a while to restock if they've sold out, but they WILL restock. just be patient and check the website every day, and once you see the model you want back in stock, but it then and there. DON'T go to e-bay, reverb, or other sites where the seller will jack up the price, unless you really want one that bad, can't wait for the company to restock, and you can afford it. Just be patient. It will take a while but they WILL restock.
