My 3rd IYV on order is this model, the green LP Clone is too heavy for an old guy but it is a beauty, the wood match on front is terrific. Plays good sounds great I pit flat wound strings on the IYV LP and it has a unique sound. Good review

Cool, now I know how to do this after I get my tumbler up and running. Thanks.

Hey. What is tje output of the headphone jack?

Just bought this in red based on this and other reviews. I'm 57 and have never picked up a guitar in my life but now that I'm retired, after falling off of a bridge at work, I have nothing but time on my hands. Wish me luck lol

If you're looking for something to play in a circle setting it sounds like it has a lack of punch not a bluegrass guitar for sure looking for somebody learning singer-songwriter maybe okay

I have that guitar in bad condition and I want to fix it. Should I repair it or should I look for another one?

Thank you. I’m not sure what kind of drill or what size of bit to use.

Recommend this method for very thin slices from geodes?

Jimmy Hendrix was good also with cheap guitars ,,,,The Name makes the price .

I'm thinking about getting this but don't know how easy it is to upgrade parts. Not crazy about the pickguard or chrome plating on pickup. What kind of mods did you do? Are the pickups ceramic or alnico?

I bought that exact pickguard too, based on the advertised DCR ratings on the pups. Not a bad price.

I’ve got PRS, Gibsons, etc but this beauty is my main guitar for now, no mods. It just plays so nice. I did replace strings with DR Blues to tame the edginess.

howdy-hi, thanx dude, I has same guitar, same idea on modding/upgrade, u helped me out alot, I'm just getting me feet wet, complete newbie, again thanx

I ran into something new - microphonic active pickups. Crazy.

madlang people?

Thanks thats helping me to di the change in my squire

Awesome videos Denny

How much this price

Question. Mine came with a buzzy hum on all toggle positions even while playing (touching strings). Have any idea where the wiring was wrong stock? Thanks

I’ve been thinking about getting a set of tex mex pickups on a Harley Benton, and after many videos and discussion treads, im decided. i’ll do it

I own this same guitar a friend of mine we are both from NYC he is a pianist so he came across this guitar and it was in exhalent conduction. He offered to seal it to me for $50.00 i took him up on the offer, and i love playing it. It was a chance in a life time so i bout it very nice instrument i love it.❤

I like your video but could do without all the breathing noises from the camera person

I got one that was unplayable from the git go. Had to take it to a Luthier and he changed out the saddle because it was sanded down to far down causing all strings to just rest on the fret board making it unplayable. $60.00 later I got my guitar after repairs, and it played just great. I love this guitar now just unhappy that I had to take it in for repair. To be truthful I contacted Firefly and they refunded me $50.00 which I thought was nice would have been nicer if they had refunded the shipping costs as well for my troubles but there you go. I also changed out my tuners only because I love locking tuners and that also made a whole lot of difference. Do I recommend it for beginners, well no, only because you are taking a chance when you buy one of these. Will you get a good one or a bad one, like I did, that my friend would be the luck of the draw I assume. Last note I was not impressed with their quality control at the factory because mine was absolutely gorgeous I loved the body, the arm rest is great, but it was unplayable from the box as I said. If you decide to buy one just bear in mind that you might get a bad one or a good one.

I've used Elixirs for a long time and not only do they sound great straight out of the box but they last longer before they start to go stale. Worth the investment. Sometimes the big box music stores have 10 packs for sale. Worth it!

I have the same set of DDarrios on my Fender cutaway. Not that much of a difference via your demo but, I'll pick up some Elixirs on my next change out to try in person - just because

I noticed your fret indicators on your GA01-E are like birds? I bought one but mine just had dots on it, did you put those on yourself and if so how?

To much talking.

Bought myself a metallic red one to try another run at guitar after giving up in my early 20's. Figure at 39 nearly 40 I have some more patience for it. I cannot believe the quality and how well this thing stays in tune and I can strum pretty agressively when I want to and it's still right bang on tune. for $218 Canadian I am beyond pleased with it.

Great information & video for sure.👍 Elixir strings are the only strings I use on all my acoustic guitars. I can’t play guitar though!😮😮

Great video Denny.

Excellent video, and I love those Elixir Strings

how does it sound unplugged ?

Does it affect tone?

There's an "upcoming deal" banner over this right now, and its twenty mins til midnight Black Friday. Glad to find your vid. New subscriber here.

Have a set of Extra Crispies in a tele, his P90 Screwdriver neck and Original Recipe in another tele I built, and a set of 54 Vintage Sparkle strat pickups in a strat. All of them hit the mark.

Great video Denny

Thank you!

In one of my project strats or partscaster I used tex mex pups. Imo they have a nice stray tone but like you said it's not to glassy or ice pick sounding. There is other pups I like better but the tex mex gives you a good bang for the buck.

I bought this model Firefly recently and, for me, the plus side outweighs the downside, though there are some issues that could be disqualifying if the buyer isn't familiar with setting up an acoustic and troubleshooting. 1. In my case, the guitar arrived with a faint cosmetic crack to the soundboard, (which the vendor gave me the choice to return for a full refund, or take a partial refund.) The double boxing didn't have enough protection and was far too thin. I accepted the partial refund, and got to work on the other issues the guitar presented. 2. Fret buzz above the 5th fret required cleaning grit from under the piezo pickup and shimming the saddle. Weirdly, it was too low. I also had to loosen the truss rod as it was overtightened. These two adjustments fixed the buzzing and improved the guitar's action. 3. there was a lot of wood shavings and grit inside the guitar that needed to be cleaned out, and, the preamp wiring was not properly secured inside the acoustic. (a bit too sloppy) and 4. The fret ends were rough and needed careful polishing, and fretboard was very very dry and need a double shot of lemon oil and some buffing, and I changed out the strings. *With all that said, I find this guitar sounds awesome either with or without being amplified and not only is great looking, and killer for the price, it is really comfortable to play, and it does sound great.

Hello friend I want to paint the headstock on my American Fender Stratocaster which is in the color of Texas Tea how far is the matcha and I want the head start to match the paint exactly on the body, can you recommend anybody who can do this for is an exact match of the body. ?

Nice lead tone at the 5:40 mark. Can you pist it to n the Spark cloud?

Got one of these used in great shape for $90 at the local MGR. Good guitar. I put a spare Fender Player series blond maple neck on mine. Looks great. The original neck was very nice, sold it for $50. I just needed to use the spare Fender neck somewhere and liked the maple fingerboard a little better, although the Indio RW original neck is very decent. The fellow I sold it to was happy, as he had a Strat with a neck that went bad.

Might be a great guitar but this is metal-head bs.

Berge Glen

so where is your song writing stuff? Thats something I would love to learn about..How to start? Structure kind of stuff...Oh and I just bought some iron gear p[ickups for my iyv guitar and am going to try to wire it like you did.....

Gleichner Heights

I got one ....Action is horrible..Good for practice..I would go for yamaha pacifa instead of Jackson dinky ..or cort guitars are far better for Acoustic and distortion..

THAT is how to do a pickup demo! To the point, clean, clear, can really hear the sound of the pickups with varying tone levels. Thank you.

Have you reviewed the GT01E? Considering purchasing one of the two models.

Cool, new look Denny
