This is a go to Guitar for me... for demo stuff. So many tones !

I did a full video group on taking this guitar with its stock parts and making it right.... Then I did a video group on MODDING the guitar to make it a Monster ! ! ! ! I still have the guitar . . . useda 37mm brass block on the upgraded tremolo.... but it needs to be cut down about 2 MM for the rear cover.... Please go watch all the videos done on this guitar . . . . All guitars here on the channel are sold after the videos are done... This one I never listed for sale as I still need to shave the brass block to 35MM. E-mail us if you would like chat about buying this guitar... But please watch the videos first... As it is no longer a stock FFMN.

I have not played an IYV guitar yet.... I did order one about 6 months ago but ended up lost in shipping.... Amazon did a refund to me but... 2 months later .... So far that model has not came back to Amazon to buy again. still looking for the budget guitar company that hits all the marks under 400.00. Firefly could do it..... They just need to change a few things.... Leo Jaymz.... seem to have production QC problems... across the board. Hit and miss at times.... Westcreek seems to be have some problems lately as well .... cutting frets short... and setup. Grote.... the new LP's NOT GOOD ... I have order two and the fret work was just bad. I didn't review due to finish and bad fret work. They were both returned... There GR Tele and Strat seem to be holding the brand right now. still good and cheap. Solar is the only one that seems to be doing a balanced budget guitar under the 400.00 ... HB does have some models... as well. I have heard good thing about there 300 to 350 price point guitars. what is just crazy is how much you get with these guitars now days..... They are all good... at the price point they are at.... I just look at the price / others... Right now, I would say Firefly has a better overall guitar build. I have ordered many guitars from all these companies .... only 1 firefly was ... not so good... out of 15 or 20 I have ordered. some were even just good stock.... no changes needed... HB is right in there as well .... just great build QC at a budget.

Wonky >>???? Mine needed the Truss Rod Adjustment... but was a great playing guitar after I got the neck right ....

@@DominionFretWorks yes, the bridge is slanted towards the neck. It’s not level to the body. It came out of the box like that. Wish I could send you a pic of it..

@@tom7073 E-mail is on the main page... I chat with many of the channel subs and members....

Just did an Epiphone Alex Lifeson .... Upcoming on the higher end stuff... Fender FMT Kramer Nightswan I can ask my local music store if they have a C-1 Platinum that I can review.... They are a smaller store not sure how they will respond. I have a new Schecter SVSS sitting here... It's been for sale and is just not moving... Order it for the review... thought it would be easy to resale... I don't think Sweetwater would send me one..... I'll ask my local shop...

@@DominionFretWorks yeah you could strike them a deal to do a free setup on the guitars for them. I am more looking for a head to head with “higher” end model to the “lower” end models to see if the price is justified. Just an idea for content. I know as a potential buyer I am always looking for reviews before purchasing and you could fall into the algorithm more doing something like that. Comparison videos are huge.

@@macgnf9061 I understand..... There are pit falls that we... Guitar Players fall into. There is also how the market works... An Upgraded Budget guitar just has no resale valve..... A name band will always have the resale valve... I should really do a LIVE SHOW on this topic...... I have a Firefly FFMN that has been reworked 100% there is nothing stock on the guitar... I have videos on all the work that was put into that guitar.... it play 100% better than an EVH or a Peavey HP2 or the MN Axis.... The custom bridge I built is 200% better than even the G-FR bridge. THAT GUITAR HAS BEEN FOR SALE FOR 600.00 dollars and has not sold.... I have just in parts and the guitar 550.00 in it. and about 36 hrs PLUS labor.... So, my work is only worth 1.25 per hr ??? It comes down to the NAME on the head stock and the market.... You can always buy and upgrade a guitar to any level.... as long as the work is done right. The problems comes in as the guitars valve after being finish. If firefly made their guitars without the ball end frets... They would be a better upgrading instrument. Ball end fret are cool...but have their problems... As far as manufacturing... and playing.. Hard to manufacture... and do right Strings can get hung-up under the fret... We really need to do a LIVE SHOW on this topic.... No days ... I think you can buy a great guitar for 1000.00 dollars. without doing anything to it... I also think you can build one from a budget guitar for 550 to 600 if you choose the right one. I have reviewed 2 Leo Jaymz Monsoons.... Both had bad fret work and problems... but with all the problems....both played fine and made you want to play it..... Dunno.. I have also reviewed guitars that were 100% great fit and finish ... WORK WAS 100% great fret work ... setup work 100%.. But the guitar was LIFELESS ! ! ! ! I want to do more reviews and compare products... I do... it comes down to having the money to buy the guitar... and then be able to resale it. Most companies are not going to send me a guitar to review... This is not a DEMO channel... and not the KZbin typical review channel. KZbin pays very little .... even my best video to date has not even come close to paying for the guitar.... This becomes the problem for anyone wanting do REAL REVIEWS. Any help in this mattrer is welcome here... I would like to find a way to make it happen... If that means all my SUBS send E-mails to Sweetwater and say .... Send this man a guitar to review ! ! ! ! ! ... I do the review and send it back to them. Let me know what ya think .....

@@DominionFretWorks where can we look to buy the guitars you setup? When I have the funds I would happily pay for a squier with a good setup. I could let you know when I do have the money. I definitely trust all your work. I didn’t know we could buy the guitars that you setup.

@@macgnf9061 I have a 40th Squire Strat in the Sea Foam Green..... Ready for review right now.... with a Fender Case. It has been waiting on a review. If you go to the main channels home page you will find the channels E-mail.. Send me an E-mail and I can send picks of the 40th Squier.... Also have a Volgoa Burl top.... 1-Firefly Tele in blue 1-Firefly FFST with a FR bridge blue brust 1_ Firefly FFST super strat has not been reviewed yet. Ash Top in white 1 Firefly Les Pual with a FR bidge has not been reviewed yet... ..... there is more.... LOL All the guitars that are reviewed are sold for the most part... Looking forward to your E-mail.

I missed doing the spec area on the neck on this guitar. I sometimes miss things when doing the High Detailed Videos. I am sorry... From playing the guitar during the time it was here... I would call this a Gibson 60's Neck Profile .. Just a little thinner.. I do not have this model here to measure... The one I have is this model with the FR bridge. I'm not sure they are the same as the bridge and neck set angle are different. There is the setup video on this guitar.... If you would like more info on it. Here is the link to that video on this guitar. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJnWo4Fjq7Wfjpo Thank You for commenting and joining in on the topic. Again, sorry for not having that info

It helps let everyone know the volume you're playing at. Plus, in this video I could use it ti see the amount of change in the boost setting. I'm sure there are a lot of channels using the DB meter..... I'm old school . . . I even called it a VU meter in this video then called it a DB meter .. LOL. This is something I added not too long ago..... So, most of my videos do not have it in the background. Get one... They are handy for so many things! ! ! plus, they look cool!

@@DominionFretWorks they do look cool , I just may do it 😎🤙

Ohhhh my .. Now I'm taking apart pedals . . . . LOL You know I was thinking about doing that.... I knew you would be waiting for the PCB shot in the review. LOL You were in my head the hole time I was editing the video... I should show the inside of the pedal... If I don't show the inside and break it down... them I'm just a DEMO channel......LOL Your right I have crossed the line.... I will never do another Demo Channel Review. from now on I will look inside to do a proper look see.... Now I just need to learn all I can about Pedal parts... LOL Ohhh My .... I'm sending you the Pedal for PART 2 of the JOYO Lancelot Review..... LOL !

The JOYO chorus you have ... 2 knobs Rate and Width ... gold/ brown color. They call it the Classic Chorus ?? With the Classic Chorus I have found use very little .. I set the Rate to about 10:00 /10:30 o'clock and the Width to about the same... I add a Delay behind the Chorus to fatten it up. It is not as rich sounding as my Digitech Studio or the ART AGX 2000 ... but the JOYO Classic Chorus is mono. The Digitech and the ART are stereo... My main rig is a Stereo Rig... Makes the sound so much bigger! As long as you keep the controls down and fatten the back side it does OK... I also have their Digital delay from the same line of pedals... again it is OK... I'm looking for I guess a really good Analog Delay .. Not sure witch one to try next... Doesn't need to be JOYO ... Just a good pedal for good delay.

@@DominionFretWorks the pogolab chorus is amazing,2 knobs,rate and depth,makes the amp sound like there's 2 instead of 1

@@gearhead2017 I'm headed out now to the world wide web to check one out ! ! ! Thanks for helping !

@@DominionFretWorks hmm, I may need to fire up my soldering iron.

I have that pedal as well . . . it does the dual rec sound. Even at 10% the Extreme is HIGH GAIN... LOL guess that why it's called the Extreme ! Also have the JOYO Amercian ... witch also has a lot of different tones and gains... The Amercian can almost get to the high gain hot rodded 80's tone... almost... but you're at 90 to 100% on the gain to get there and the pedal becomes a little noisy at that point. it is good for the NON-Hot Rodded late 70's early 80's tone.

Metal case . . . . strong foot switch . . . . built like a tank. now out to find a good analog delay to pair up with this setup.

I have the 80's/ 90's rig in my rack units.... The sound from the ART Pre-amp is just spot on for 80's hair music.... But... a Budget / Low-cost system that can get you there is what we're trying to do.... This is the Pedal for a low cost 80's and 90's tone. Really adding more funds to buy a more expensive pedal is not needed. This pedal is 41 dollars right now... add a good delay and some reverb and you can get there for very little money. The Egnater Amp I'm using cost me 400.00 used 2 channels, Clean and Dirt with EL84 and 6L6 power tubes to blend the power amp tone. also has built in reverb. add this pedal for 41 dollars Total 441.00 bucks for that tone... I will do that all day long ! now it's time for me to start shopping a good delay for this sound.... it would be nice to stay under the 500-dollar mark for the amp and the pedals... that's my goal!

OHHHHHH sorry ... Though you were commenting on the new video... LOL The Line 6 Stomp is great for just about anything.... guitar and this pedal is all you need playing out if the place has a system... just run out of the Line 6 Stomp to front of house...Don't need an amp.

@DominionFretWorks Yeah, GT-1 is a pedal, kinda. It'll fit in the accessories pocket of gig bag. Battery or cord powered. Built in expression pedal. I picked it up from a guy who wasn't interested in figuring out how to use it for about the cost of 2 budget pedals or less - $80. Basically, brand new. I found an amp I'm going to look at this week that's for sale locally. I was thinking of just getting a speaker made specifically for MEUs when I came across it. Fender Blues Deluxe. See how it sounds, doing research on it to see if it's a winner or trash. May pick up some analog pedals down the road, but other than an amp, I'm set right now.

@DominionFretWorks He's asking $250 for the amp, so if it's to my liking, $330 for rig, which I think is reasonable for someone starting out, but most will buy new, which will usually be much more. The GT-1 is going for $199 new. And a decent tube amp starts around $500ish, so hopefully, I can come in under half of that price. I saw the 15w from. MONOPRICE, but for the cost of mods that I see most people make and the amp price, that's basically up around the cost of a decent amp, so that really doesn't make sense to me. I saw a few videos of modding the circuit on the board, but I'm no engineer. May be easy to some, but may be my luck that I try it and fry the board. Then I'm back at square one with a round peg so-to-speak. I thought about the hand wired unit, but then I have to get a cab, and I'm trying to keep my cost as low as possible for now just to see what I can do with the least amount of cash for a decent rig that's portable.

@@jerrydover4140 You can always go the Power cab / Line 6 stomp way.... Use the line 6 stomp into your amp you have.... then pick up a powered cab. It's not tube... but very easy to move around. There are a few Egnaters on reverb right now for 425 ish.... combos. and I saw a few Peavey classic 30's for the 400 ish price. The tone stack in the peavey I don't believe is a goods sounding as the Egnater... You're looking for Pre 2014 Egnater's .....

ya . . . this is crazy good for 41.00 dollars. I didn't show it in the video.... But it also works every will in front of my ART SGX2000 express rack pre-amp... to drive the input for that extra bite! I wanted to show what a basic tube amp with built in reverb and just this pedal could do. add a delay pedal and this would be all you need ! This is a good 80's rock pedal... that can be tamed down for driving blues rock.

No sure what SMACKING sound you are speaking of..... There is a lot of background noise ... Hummmm and Refig noise ... This video was done before I started using a noise gate... But even with the gate ... it misses with the audio if not set just right. Even some of my newer videos... I can seem to get the gate to work on all tracks. This video was done with a GoPro8 hero. and the audio recording from this camera is not so good. Video is on 1080P 30FPS still not the greatest. I'm now using GoPro10 Hero's which are a little better shotting at 2.7K 30FPS. Audio is still recorded on the GoPro with a SM57Pro during the demos and stock camera mic for talking. Looking at doing some changes.... But the cost of a Full SYNC video and audio recording setup is just crazy . . . . . 3 cameras and an 8 track field recorder with Sync. Plus, you need an editing software that can time sync. If you would please let me know what it is your hearing ( time stamp mark ) so I can see if it is something that has been fixed by the newer cameras or if it is something I need to address with speaking or setup. Thanks for your help !

Smacking sounds too crazy it's a shame. Nice Telecaster is it too heavy I've heard some rumors .

@@vn00530 it's not heavy .... it's a tele. I'm sure there are a few out there that get into the 7-1/2 pd. range... and as lite as high 6pd. to me it is liter than a Super Strat ..... and much liter than my Les Pual's ! LOL

@@DominionFretWorks it's probably a wonderful guitar then. I'm sure. Thanks 🙏

@@vn00530 It is a Budget Telecaster.... This guitar was 2nd place over a 3-budget guitar shoot out.... I reviewed a Firefly.... Grote and this HB They were all good guitars for under 180 bucks shipped to me... The Grote was 139.00 SHIPPED !!!! and yes, it was a good guitar. For me the Firefly out of the three was the best playing and sounding.

Ya.... telling the guy on a framing crew . . . . Go get the 2x4 stretcher out of the truck. This guitar is one of the BAD guitars from Firefly at its price point. Very hard to build a good guitar with these specs and a FR bridge at this price point... I would say you can't... I would say right now a stock guitar with good pickups and a good FR-Bridge starts at 350.00 dollars... That a starting price for anything worth buying. The cost of a good useable FR-bridge just adds too much to the build cost. Solar makes one at 350.00 that is good to go out of the box... Jackson makes one in the 375.00 good to go out of the box. both are ok guitars... these guitars are starting points. If ya want a good FR-Bridge guitar that is good and not a compromise in pickups... bridge.... fit and finish... your in the 500.00 dollars range at the min price point. You waould hve to find A DEAL or find on one SALE.... I picked up a Dean MD24 at GC for 450.00 NEW .... WHAT A DEAL ! ! ! ! ! I have seen X class Jacksons at GC for 550 on sale.... Check out my FFMN videos on the Firefly FFMN.. I did a lot of videos on what it would take to build one of these up to a pro level. Just parts came to 450.00 with the guitar... PLUS ALL YOUR TIME.... So 500 to 600 is a deal for a good FR-Bridge guitar

@@trinacria1956 yeah so far I've had pretty good luck with the budget guitars... We have reviewed quite a few... I would say there's been five that I would say was substandard... And only one that wasn't worth fixing. Yeah I have a couple tutorial type videos on the channel... And some mod videos. Thanks for commenting and joining in on the topic... Always good to hear from other people that service and worked on guitarist professionally...

not seeing it right now... They did add some FFSP/FFLP's

there is a group of videos covering this bridge... This bridge had some problems.... but is fixable.. Some of the other FR copy bridges just are not worth fixing...

The Higher the OHM load the more you PUSH your power amp stage in your rig... This can give you that BIG loud sound without the volume.... As the amp works harder to push the drivers. 4 ohm cabs in the guitar world really can't do this.... Halfer Amps like the DH500 and there 9505 Trans could run down to 1.5 ohms.... Witch today would be fine if you're doing a CAB / AMP IR. ( modeling type preamp ) Axe-Fx something like that. This V30 driver is a little on the Dark Side for me... I think they would work well with Cream Backs mixed in one cab... Speakers are key to your amps sound...... Change your speakers..... before changing your Pre Amp / Power Amp. Green Backs / Cream Backs / G12-65 / Penta all great drives. There are a lot of people that like theV30... So I'm sure your can get them to work once you dial in your amp. Thaks Again for commenting and joining the topics!

@@DominionFretWorks koool brother! i know my lil 15 watt solidstate crate(gx15r) wont ever rattle foundations even with the monoprice 1x12 cab...but im sure it will have more "body" than the lil 8in im running now lol... im wondering if it will be safe on the amp itself running a 8ohm 12in speaker...

Look at the OHM of the stock speaker.... should say right on the speaker... Match your new cab to that.... Most amps are ok down to 4 OHM ..... MOST that doesn't mean that it will work. I would look at the stock speaker.... and see what stock rating is... and find a cab to match. Sorry just now seeing this reply... I try to get back to everyone... KZbin doesn't always let me know their is a REPLY !

@@DominionFretWorks its all good brother! yup my speaker has 4ohms stamped on the magnet structure in the crate amp i have a crate v5 tube amp which is actually 8ohm......crazy hey!

@@birdman316 naaaa I ran 2 Halfer DH 500's mono blocked together down to 2 OHMs back in the day.. 4 - 15inch JBL sub/bass bins scoops.... most amps would have gone up in smoke....

Yes ...the newer reviews go into more detail....As people asked for things they were added....Check out some of my latest reviews... passed 6 months or so... Very detailed. This guitar for its price point is hard to beat... Most of the time you can get them for 139.00 on sale on Amazon... Firefly also has a good telecaster for just a little more money...

@@DominionFretWorks hekk yaa brother im glad i found your channel! i compare and review guitars on my channel too...my playing is sub par but it still somewhat demonstrates what tones the guitar can do hahaha!!!

@@birdman316 Glad you found it as well... tell other about it ! I try not to be like the others "review channels" I really try to review the guitar and look at how it's made and check how it is setup from the factory. I would say most channels are DEMO channels... Also do Tech Tip Video's / Setup Videos / Mods.... Once we have a few more subscribers we are going to start doing a weekly hangout and chat.

@@DominionFretWorks awesome sounds great! yup very few channels dive deep in the guitar to show the build quality(or not)... ya some are really fast demo films not explaining alot....

Thank You ! Please subscribe if you haven't already... A lot of info on this channel. I try to do the best reviews on KZbin. A review that covers the guitar and what you can expect to receive if you buy one. Thanks for commenting and joining in on the channel.

Yes, you can do that.... I did that for a long time.... the only problem with doing it is you need to do 1 string at a time as you install the strings. let's say you start with your High E string.... the B string is not installed yet. Now you can get the gauge under the High E without the other sting in the way... There is a radius to the neck so the strings beside the string your working on can get in the way... you're feeling the drag of the gauge between the string and the fret. hard to do with the other strings next to the one you're working with. It's a great way of going about it... very safe as long as you know how much to have as your set measurement. Some use a fret wire with the tang removed... Needs to be the same fret wire ( height wise ) they slide this right up to the nut and file to the fret wire.... this is the even safer way.. Now you're cutting the nut to the fret height of your frets making your nut work and act like a zero fret. I like the fret wire way if I am doing that type of setup... If I have a fret wire to the same spec as the guitars fret wire. I have done so many nuts in the passed.... That know how far I can push the cut. ( I have still cut too deep at times) if your setting your action above .085 on the E string at the 12th.... odds are you are going to be shape on the 1st fret if you try to keep the other frets close ( just as many shape notes as flat notes ) this is due to the string distance from the fret... it becomes greater as you go down the fret board. this will make the fretted note go sharp. You're bending the string down to the fret. You can move the saddle back and offset this....this will lower the tune of the fretted notes across the fret board. NOTE if you cut your nut for a higher action then try to lower your string you can get fret buzz on the 1st fret. this is due to the rake angle of the string to the frets. Large changes in the action height can make this happen. Lets say your at .085 Low E 12th and you cut the nut to be close on the 1st and a average across the fret board.... If you lower your action down to .06 or lower most likely you're changing the nut. This is way you see so many guitar companies do a basic setup at .07 /12th low E. it is a good spot as you can go as low as .055 and as high as .085 and still get a good setup. the nut is going to work with very little tuning. Everything works together... If you have more neck relief in your guitar this can sharpen the notes around the 7th,8th and 9th fret. remember your truss rod really is not deflecting the neck pass the 18th /19th fret ... it is bolted to the body of the guitar under those frets. Adding relief can fix flat notes around the 8th fret... It is not much... I know but it does change the notation if you add relief. 1) know your action height you want... 2) Know the relief you want 3) know your string gauge then start with the action height set at the 12th.... adjust the saddles to get your radius the way you like it... Some like a flat-er string radius vs the neck radius. once all this is done. start working your nut... each cutting pass check the fretted notes down the fret board. shot for just as many flat as sharp. Floating bridges FR type... 4) know that your bridge is Falcrum based, and this point is Infront of the string saddle...most of the time pushing the bar down ( lowing the string pitch ) will increase the string action height...... most of the time.. PULLING UP ! ! ! ! most of the time will lower the string action height... If you set your action to low ... up pulls will fret out... or choke the notes. When I look at Floyed Rose bridge the first thing I look at is the back set of the saddles... if I see the saddles in the 3nd hole... I know the tuning swing on that saddle will be limited... as the back of the saddle will most like hit the angled base plate. Next I know the saddle is move back away from its Falcrum point of the base plate. The greater that distance from the Falcrum to the saddle the more height change in the string as you use the tremolo. Kahler had a great system that was best for not doing this. As the saddles were mounted to a cam that moved. Sorry for chatting and chatting.... I love chatting! I love talking guitars! WE SHOULD DO A LIVE STREAM ONCE A WEEK JUST TO CHAT !

yep.... doesn't matter. it is easier without the strings..... also easier to clean the body and pickups without the strings.... I was under a crunch to get the guitar done... that night. but I also wanted to make sure it was as good as I could get it with the stock parts. I think this is a good setup for a new player. I wish the G string could have been a little better... but the average notation down the fret board was even... sharp to flat and the first fretted note was OK... I really need to make a list of things to do in a order..... and hang it on the wall. Cheat Sheet List

The USPS guy keeps dropping off Les Pual Guitars............ I need to get to work on why they are here....... But need to do the Classic Guitar FLASH BACK video first as it was a poll Question on the next video... Last time I checked it was still tied . . . . . LOL ! ! I will do more fix and setup stuff..... Still have the FFDC to finish ... and a headless guitar that needs some work... well it needs more than some work( needs the neck seat milled down and angled....

I learned on a Sears guitar that action height was set to MILES.... LOL with enough neck relief to still have .09 at the 10th fret when pressing down on the 22 fret.....LOL beginners.... have it so good now ! ! ! ! ! these new budget guitars are so good for the money... you would have had to spend 800 to 1000 dollars back when I started to get what a sub 250 dollar guitar does now AND you are so right about what you have said in your comment! Now days there is so much info out there for new players. I hope I can add to that info and help others in any way I can!

LOL I did the same thing in the Epiphone Alex Lifeson review... Robetson Tuner..... Funny someone just commented that I did that in that video about 4 or 5 hours ago..... I will try to overcome my Robertson name calling and call it a Peterson Tuner . . 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ya every guitar has its own personality.... Let the guitar be what it wants to be.... it is the same with setups... There are many ways to get to your like setup... This was a basic setup as the guitar was very good to start with. when ya get into adjusting the truss rod ..... and fixing high frets ... that becomes a little more work. truss rod adjustments can make or break how your guitar plays..... Neck relief is one of those ... I like relief ... I like no relief... I setup the guitar with a little....5mm is a good starting spot...

Ya.... I do .... LOL Dunno why, I call it a Robertson. I have some of Dylans pickups here... very nice pickups. The pickups in the stock Epiphone are fine. The way it is wired allows for so many different tones. Would the Dylan Pickups be better ???? Dunno. I have reviewed a lot of guitars.... The sound you hear is not just the pickups.... The Amp has more to do with your tone.. IMO Not saying cheap pickups will sound like Dylans thought a great amp... not at all. But you will get more from your amp and how it is dialed in. For me... the tones from this guitar are fine.... It hits all the marks for the tones needed to play a wide range of music. Sometimes ... we over think things.... LOL and chase a tone...Let the guitar speak to you. They will tell ya what they like. the feedback you get from the neck and the tone you hear will push you play new things if you bond with the guitar.

I have played a step down most of my life. But this was setup for someone else. I have heard this before about the HZ. Thanks for commenting and sharing. These videos are always hit and miss on how KZbin pushes them. I hope you liked the editing in the video... only had 1 or 2 sync problems... and tried some new stuff.

That is a Firefly FFMN. It has been reworked 100% by me to make it a SUPER BEATER ! I did look at the AXIS models but none of them had the FR bridge. So when this model showed up by Firefly ... I was hoping I could Hot Rod it and build a great guitar out of it. If you go to the channel home page click on videos... them guitar setups and mods.. you will find 6 or 7 videos on fixing this guitar. The first group of videos was me fixing the best I could with all STOCK PARTS... just tuning and setting up the guitar the best I could. The 2nd group of videos ... I mod the guitar and make it a super beater bar guitar. Bullet Proof Player! I have a little over 550.00 dollars in the guitar with the parts ... and way too many hours of work ...LOL ... But she is a player !! !!

Thanks ! ! ! ! This one was fun to do. But I really need to get back to work on that FFDC hanging on the wall behind me.... LOL

@@AngryTruckerBob Don't chip the PAINT ! ! ! ! ! you can chip the paint sometimes pulling the insert.... be careful with the first pull as it come off the paint.... but a block over the body to pry up on the insert with the fulcrum nut installed.

Thank You ! Check out so of the other setup and repair videos on the channel ! thanks for joining in on the topic !

ya.............. I know..................😥 I already miss it. This was the best guitar I have ever received from Firefly.... This one and the Purple and black FFST I reviewed about 5 months ago. I have over 25 guitars still here.... and I have sold 4 in the last week and 1/2 .... It is so hard to let them go. But I have to clear the floor to allow new guitars to come in and be reviewed.... I still have my FFMN ! ! ! ! ! the one I did all the work too.... Love that guitar ! and still working on the FFDC /FFTC once it's done it will be my go to P90 guitar. The MD 24 Dean.... WOW what a guitar ! The Kramer LP -FR ... So those 4 reviewed guitars I have just bonded with....

@@DominionFretWorks Ah, so the FFSP was “Phenomenal, but just didn’t bond with?” 😉 Firefly has definitely improved most of their models since their early days-my current FFTL is much better than the previous Nashville-style FFTL I had. It looks like these particular FFSPs seem to come from a VERY good factory! Too bad they can’t ALL come from that same factory. 😂 The FFMN-that’s the Music Man Axis/EVH/Wolfgang-style one with the Floyd Rose-style trem, right? I’m more of a jazz guy myself, so I’m hoping to get their Little Sister or FF338 one day.

@@zuperdee The funny thing is ....The Firefly FFMN was my first review here on KZbin.... and That guitar had so many problems.... But I did 6 or 7 videos on fixing the guitar .... the first group was fixing with the stock parts.... then I did a group of videos doing mods.... But the guitar from firefly really wasn't that good... But now it plays soooooo good ! This guitar .... this Purple and Black FFSP was.... well just loved it.... But I have 2 great Les Paul's all ready... AND I just got a Firefly FFLP les Paul gold top P-90 with chamfered frets! !!!!! it is not a ball end fret guitar!!!! So I will be doing a full upgrade on this guitar.... Right now.... The two guitars I play the most .... Epiphone 335 DOT custom Fender FMT Tele Dean MD24 But my guitar.... the one I have owned and played more than anything else ! ! ! a 1989 Peavey Nitro Active... Guitars need to make ya want to play ! I find myself moving though models as I change playing .. month to month. I could list a few more... 86 Kramer Pacer IMP Peavey Vandenburg Volgoa VTL-2 burl custom But I just LOVE guitars ! ! ! LOL

Ya ... some come with locking tuners and some don't.. They are Grover-looking... OR Grover type tuners.. Firefly has never used Grover tuners. Working on the next video with guitar.... Doing a full setup video on it ! This is one of the best guitars I have reviewed from firefly.... great guitar!

@@DominionFretWorks mine say Grover on them. But they are not locking and clearly fakes.

@@mattdecker7141 REALLY ! ! ! ! I have never seen that on a Firefly ! Thats not good if they are doing that.... it is one thing to do a copy... but to do a copy with their name on them..... That is not right IMO. Thanks for sharing this... If anyone else has had this, PLEASE POST ! ! !

@@DominionFretWorks happy to send you a pic of you want. Says "Grover" and has all of the telltales of fake. Just got it today. Was surprised it said Grover but wasn't a locker...and really junky.

@@mattdecker7141 sure !
