Beautiful guitar! Nice to see a less expensive alternative to the B&G. The one issue I have is with the pickups. They sounded a little harsh to me for P90s.

FireFly looks to be a decent guitar. They both look like Gibson’s "Blues Hawk” they’ve made since ‘96 that I can remember. A few of the Gibsons at one time had a unhooked p90 in the back to eliminate some of the hum. Between $1,000&$1,900.

[@JimmyStewart1]

Hi J. Burrough…thanks so much for watching and commenting. Yes, they do resemble the BluesHawk now that you mention it. The exceptions being that the BluesHawk was a 25.5 scale instead of the normal Gibson scale of 24.75 and of course the bridge system and headstock. I think only Epiphone makes it now. Appreciate your stopping into the channel and sharing your thoughts and insight. Much appreciated…🎸👍

[@mveitchmunich]

I have an earlier version of this guitar and it's one of my faves. I did make a couple changes..Slick p90 pickups and new tuners. That said, I love the Slicks ..Not as microphonic as the FFs. And the tuners I replaced with were worse than the originals. Not a lot of options out there and I have one more new set to try. If they fail I will reinstall the originals. The open headstock looks great and I understand why they did it but I much prefer the more conventional system.

[@JimmyStewart1]

Hi Michael…thanks for watching and commenting. This newer version has the upgraded stainless frets and Alnico 5 pickups. Tuners so far for me are holding just fine. Don’t anticipate any issues. The Slick pups are also very nice. I have their offset semi-hollow with a Tele in the bridge and P90 in the neck…nice! Appreciate your stopping into the channel and sharing. 🎸👍

Nice guitar! Would you say that it is similar to Epiphone Wildkat?

[@JimmyStewart1]

Hi Angel….thanks so much for watching and commenting. Yes, I think FF did a good job on this Little Sister style guitar. I never played a Epiphone Wildkat, but I would say it’s similar in specs (minus the Bigsby). Small bodied semi-hollow, dual P90’s, flamed maple top on a mahogany body, master vol/tone, 24.75 scale, 22 fret, neck meets at the 14th…set neck…👍

[@zuperdee]

I had a strange feeling you’d end up getting one of these next, given your love for P90’s! Odin seems to LOVE that styrofoam for some reason! Personally, I think I’ll pass on this one-that headstock design looks like it might be even more prone to breakage than a Gibson Les Paul! I’ve seen at least one other video where someone actually did upgrade the plastic string posts to proper brass ones, but in order to do so, he had to stick wooden plugs into the crudely cut headstock to accommodate the smaller diameter brass posts. Not sure I’d want to go through all that. The truss rod adjustment at the heel is nice-although I imagine they HAD to do that, since that classical-style headstock design undoubtedly precludes putting the adjustment up there. The 14th fret body join undoubtedly makes upper fret access more difficult, but then again, this is obviously not meant to be a shredder’s kind of guitar. I’m not sure I’d trade my IYV IPF-300 for one. Having said that, this guitar REALLY does have a lovely and unique sound-I’m not sure on this end how true to life it is, but this guitar seems to have a woody, resonant kind of sound to it, ESPECIALLY on some of those high notes, that not even an ES-335 has! Am I hearing it right, or does it sound different at your end? What have they done to achieve this?

[@JimmyStewart1]

I was hesitant due to this as I talked about, but honesty after seeing/playing and hearing it, I have little issue with it. I looked closely at the headstock and the drilled holes for the tuner posts, and mine look drilled just fine. The sound is definitely unique, and I am loving it. Upper access on the higher frets is just fine, especially for this style guitar!

Love the amber color top, semi- hollow with f-holes, P-90s and the sound, but will not buy because of the ridiculous classical guitar headstock!

I think the headstock gives it a unique look.

Hi Tim…thanks for stopping in to the channel! 🎸👍

Those tuners are nasty and will always be a problem with that guitar. You cannot simply drop in Grovers to replace them when they inevitably fail. Plastic? What were they thinking??? Next year when they put a proper electric guitar headstock on it with locking tuners it will be worth considering. This one if wall decoration only.

[@JimmyStewart1]

They kept with the concept and design of the Little Sister, including the headstock. Would metal (brass) string shafts had been better? I definitely think so, but don’t see these failing anytime soon honestly. Should they at some point, I will replace them but for now they are holding just fine. Some may consider “wall decoration” but mine plays just fine and I will continue to play it. Thanks for stopping in…🎸👍

From the photo, looks like a three piece body to me.

[@JimmyStewart1]

Hi Larry…initially I thought so too, but the bottom of the body that “looks” like another piece is the grain coming through in the pic. It’s the top 3rd that I believe is actually another section. Regardless, it’s nicely done and feels great! Appreciate your stopping into the channel…much thanks! 🎸👍

[@freddymclain]

pretty sure that top is fotoflame.

[@JimmyStewart1]

Umm…don’t think so Freddy. All the tops would look the same.

[@freddymclain]

that's just it, Jimmy. They DO look pretty much the same. They're not selling a $200 guitar with real flame maple veneer. @@JimmyStewart1

[@JimmyStewart1]

@@freddymclain I have looked at pics of a number of them from different folks who have bought one, along with my own and they all look a bit different. Some have more flame than others, different areas, etc. It would be the 1st time that FF did a “fotoflame” on any of their guitars.

[@freddymclain]

'First time for everything.' Foto flame doesn't mean that they're all identical.

[@JimmyStewart1]

@@freddymclain Well…I guess we will just have to agree to disagree…😎 I have seen a number of fotoflame tops used by both Grote and IYV on some of their models in the past. They all looked identical and you could tell easily that they were. If these are, then it’s some of the best I ever seen.

That looks like a guitar I could really get into! Why can't search engines find one for sale? I have no idea how much it costs, or where I might send some money on an ill-advised search for eternal happiness.

[@JimmyStewart1]

Hi Robert…Unfortunately right now they are sold out! When they become available again is always uncertain as they are only made in small batches. When in stock, they can be found @ www.guitarsgarden.com Thanks so much for stopping into the channel! 🎸👍
