These don't have the laminated maple/walnut through neck. I still dont know how you can claim to do a fret level without a notched straight edge or a sanding beam.

How do you do a fret level without a notched straight edge? Almost all Fibsons need a new good nut the bridge replaced to play in tune. The Firefly version of the double cut special is the value-for-money buy in this case.

I would absolutely put a decent quality roller bridge on that. It is pretty. I can't see buying one though. I would rather by classic vibe mustang or put the 300 bucks towards a Fender or a used Gibson. I have noticed a lot of real gibson guitars popping up used for well under a grand. Even les pauls. I saw 2 les paul classics go last week in very nice shape. one for a grand with case and one for 9oo without. I'm not a gear snob. I would just rahter not spend 3 or 400 hundred bucks upgrading pick ups, electronics and hardware.

You said this was Gibson quality but then talked about the frets not being seated properly. Obviously, this is a poly finish and don't real Firebirds have banjo tuners and a different shaped headstock? Is it more like Epiphone China quality? The body is probably 6 pieces of basswood glued together and there was the paint smeared onto the nut. I find it hard to believe that a Chinese guitar for $260 is the same quality as a Gibson but I only have 2 Gibsons, a 73' SG deluxe and an 80' 335-S but I have played a bunch of them through the 45 years I have been playing.

The thing you have to keep in mind about Gibson, is that they are a high volume manufacturer, not a boutique guitar like many people think. Over 1000 a day are produced at times. They use different tuners, fake woods, multiple piece and laminated bodies at times.
