Firefly FFTL Relic Review

[@eljefeguapobarbon]

That looks and sounds great! Gonna order one this week🤘🏼Nice playing.

[@tommybrown4191]

Just got one of these, love it! The headstock on mine looks almost like a legit Tele. Pups aren't microphonic at all on mine. I figured I'd be changing them out but for now they're staying in. Not bragging but just for context I've owned guitars in the $2,000 to $7,000 range and this firefly relic tele isn't really that far off from any of them. Great playing BTW, keep rocking!

[@justinbishopmusic]

These guitars are so good! It’s grown on me even more the longer I’ve had it!

[@southerncrossvids]

Nice review bud! You've got skills that can make any guitar sound good! Cheers

[@justinbishopmusic]

Thanks! 🙏 I’m working on it!

[@pickersgrip]

Sounds great and for the money, impressive!

[@hotcakesman]

I have the relic strat with the maple neck. The only thing I did was repot the pickups. It is unreal!

[@justinbishopmusic]

Oooohhh…I’d like to know how to do that!

[@hotcakesman]

@@justinbishopmusic just get a crock pot, I put marbles on the bottom so I don't melt the plastics. Then I have a couple boxes of canning wax. Melt the wax and then you put the pickups in for 10 mins or so. Take them out, wipe the excess and let them cool. Boom no more squeal.

[@larryn2682]

​@@justinbishopmusic use a double boiler setup for safety when melting wax. It's just a smaller pan of the wax sitting in a larger pan with boiling water. Then the wax can't get any hotter than the boiling point of water.

I mean under $200……wow! FF has some good stuff imo.

[@justinbishopmusic]

Phenomenal! These necks are unbelievable. I’m going to put some Seymour Duncan pickups on this one, but the stock ones aren’t all that bad.

[@guywihn1658]

How many days after ordering before it was shipped? I ordered six days ago and haven't heard anything yet.

[@justinbishopmusic]

It took the site a few days to update with tracking but was shipped in 2 days. I received it a week after ordering.

[@guywihn1658]

@@justinbishopmusic Thanks. I got a tracking number yesterday saying it just left Ontario CA and was delivered to me today about noon in AZ

How much did they pay you? 😂

[@justinbishopmusic]

Ha! I bought it myself. I really love it! Now the Strat with Floyd Rose…i couldn’t keep it in tune to save my life. But this one is solid! I changed the pickguard to turquoise and put in Seymour Duncan Pickups. Check out my most recent video short to hear it.

@@justinbishopmusic Watch out for the sandblasting media in your tuner gearing, mixes with the grease, destroys the tuners in record time. Bon aventur!

@@oldasrocks9121 good to know!

[@oldasrocks9121]

@@justinbishopmusic Word is the latest batches with Floyds use a super suboptimal version of the bridge compared to the licensed bridges FF used in the past. I predict FF will eventually fold and vanish once changes to import fees policy erodes their margins to unsustainably low levels. In other words once their tax evading semi-scam unravels. And this dog's breakfast of a Telecaster will appear only for sale from sketchy nameless eBay rip-off sellers, among which the factory suppliers to FF first started their illustrious activities.
