Appreciate this! They’re about to drop another acoustic and I’m thinking about getting one.

Just got one last week. I've been playing for sixty years. One the best guitars I've ever played, at any price! ❤ My $1'600 Martin SC13e is staying in the case. In fact, I'm thinking of buying another one in case something twer to happen to this one! 😂 Shalom/gw

This is the "Rob Kosinski" Keith mentions in this video. I also bought second one. I work a lot, so if a guitar goes down I need a spare. At this price point how can you go wrong? I also have the full-size version (not Thin Line) and it's just as awesome. I was so inspired by the sound and playability of the instrument I ALSO wrote a song (just music) and turned it over to Keith for his lyrical prowess. Hopefully will be releasing in the next few months!

Don't have this, but the electronics and build on the 12 string version are great!

[@matts8657]

Cool acoustic! Love the inlays and fishman stuff!

[@johnmicalizzi126]

That song sounded awesome!

[@TheTapeFarm]

Thanks!

[@Joshua_Wilburn]

Beautiful song and love this firefly acoustic. Very nice. Might have to get one. Great vid bro!

[@TheTapeFarm]

Thanks Brother. Appreciate it.

[@Ksantipacat]

Thanks for another great review. Funny how the acoustics bring the songs out of you. I had the cutaway acoustic until this spring. Really liked it, but it got sold, along with a few other guitars to find a Taylor purchase. It's a mahogany though, and I am missing that spruce sound. Been considering picking up a thin line for playing around the house, but a little worried it will sound... Thin. I don't play plugged in.

[@TheTapeFarm]

This doesn’t sound bad unplugged. But yeah, it’s not as full as a dreadnought.

[@TheTapeFarm]

@@Ksantipacat sorry… does not sound bad…. I fixed my reply.

Get ahold of one of the FF relics and take it apart for folks to see: hardware and loaded pickguards are sandblasted to "age" them but FF failed to clean things up after. My Tele relic has sand in the gearing of the tuners, the pots, the selector switch, under the pickguard, inside the neck pickup cover. There's a few more unconscionable items afaic, others might overlook them but when sand is in the tuners gears I think its okay to say Firefly got way out over their skis with the relic thing in this batch.

[@TheTapeFarm]

I’ve been looking at getting the relic Strat. You might have convinced me to pull the trigger.

[@oldasrocks9121]

@@TheTapeFarm Thank you & good. I made a video but I've got exactly 4 subs... I requested Guitar Garden compensate me for new tuners, I hope I got in in front of the wave of complaint. I think if they had pulled this w/their Lester/Gibson customers they'd have a full fledged very loud rebellion on their hands. 📢

[@oldasrocks9121]

I know I'd appreciate it you did a few FF Strats and Teles, I suspect others might too. Your take on the build tolerances of the Fender copies would be valuable, not just the "home run" models like the Mad Cat but the run of the mill guitars. What do you think?

[@TheTapeFarm]

I just got one of the heavy relic strays that I’ll be doing a review in the next week or so.

[@petercousins1645]

Does shop you did demo in ship Fireflys to UK ?

[@TheTapeFarm]

I don’t think so.

[@user-ev9qw3om1g]

Compare to other guitars you review.

[@googleboy7]

Own a Martin SC13E. IMHO. The Firefly is better.

[@gaittec]

Please post the scale length. Thank you in advance.
