I too purchased this guitar around April/May from Amazon. The box was beat up! But the guitar was fine!! I love the finish and look! The pickups are warm to bright! I love the playability! As you state in the video. The frets were a bit scratchy. All you have to simply do is polish them! I definitely think this guitar is beyond a bargain! Especially, for its price!
Yea, mine was beat up too, but guitar was fine. I figure it has to go through more hands, so it’s more likely to get banged up 🤷🏻♂️ I just got a dremel recently, so I plan to polish a few guitars frets. Thanks for watching! 😃👍🏻
It all depends on what you buy, and what your preferences are I suppose. All of them I’ve gotten are definitely playable and good setup out of the box, but I’m used to higher end stuff, so I tend to want to upgrade em. Any of the hard tail are pretty great outta the box, and may need a little setup. They’ve gotten much better with the pickups lately, and other stuff like tuners are pretty much expected to be replaced on budget guitars. For the cost? Worth it, and an inexpensive platform for learning how to do upgrades. Thanks for watching! 😃👍🏻
I got mine before they re-worked the front horn. They have a little notch in that now too, and I’m not sure I dig it. Thanks again for introducing me to Firefly Richie!
The thing I don't like about current firefly fflv is the change in body design....looks like gibson got their way. I prefer the gibson v look with the string though v bridge on earlier firefly v. I don't really like what firefly has done with the redesign to make the v look like a flame but that's just me.
I tend to agree with you on that! Wish I got the older version. They did just have a white relict James Hetfield tribute that looked pretty much exact the same except for the head stock.
@VaporTrailChannel I have the earlier v bridge version with a honeyburst finish that I got for $220 off of Facebook marketplace! Not getting rid of it! It almost seems like a limited edition version lol
