Your advice applies to EVERYTHING sold on Alli Express. Do not trust that a branded product e.g. d’addario strings is really manufactured by that brand. It’s all too easy for a scammer to reproduce the brand’s packaging, then put an inferior knock-off product in it. Sadly, scammers are everywhere on the inet waiting to reel in innocent guppies who want to save a few bucks and fail to do their due diligence. As others have said: BUYER BEWARE.

I have purchased a few Firefly guitars..338, tele, and jaguar with P90's to mod & upgrade just to see what I could do. I put USA Gibson PAF's in the 338, but the Tele style was surprisingly good as received and it plays great. It is a total shame that there are companies in this world so unscrupulous that they would deceive people in that way. I got all mine from Guitar Garden and have been very happy with their service.

I have a semi hollow Tele w P 90s Squire special run clone, and an Explorer w H B s . Both have similar full C style necks. Are your necks the same too or do they vary ? I'm thinking about the roasted Tele .
@Russell_Optics Жыл бұрын
@@terryenglish7132 They vary slightly in thickness, but not bad...the nut width is the same. The 338 is a very comfortable medium "C". The Tele is slightly thicker almost identical to my Sire and my PRS Vela "pattern regular" carve which is medium "C", but very comfortable. The Jaguar is the thickest and a bit bigger than I like, so I'm thinking about sanding it down a bit and then use Tru-Oil to seal it again. I did a Strat partscaster and sanded the neck, rolled the edges of the fretboard, then used about 6 coats of TRu-Oil sanding with 400 grit between coats and it feels great.

I tried to buy a Firefly ES 338 from Amazon for three years in a row. I finally was able to place an order right after the new year but was later informed by Amazon that my order would be cancelled due to the model being sold out again. Apparently, speculators were buying whole lots and then reselling them at substantially inflated prices. It looked like my chances of actually buying one through a bona fide outlet were either slim or none. Then one day while visiting a pawn shop I found one that was everything I'd hoped for. Of course, I had to pay more than the MSRT but was happy to get it at around $200.00 without the case. That was nearly four years ago and I've yet to be as pleased with a guitar purchase as I've been with my Firefly. I only wish they assigned serial numbers to each run so that collectors like myself could find which year and source each version comes from. So, I'm not surprised that imitations would arise to cheat sincere aficionado's like myself.

I bought a Firefly version of the 335 a few years ago from their factory. It was a popular guitar and was sold out here in America. I ordered it and the next day on their website they had the 335 “spalted maple” for $20 more. I had a whole month to beat myself up for not seeing and ordering the spalted maple . Lo and behold ,a month later, the FedEx truck delivered it ,and to my surprise ,it was the spalted maple. Beautiful guitar. This the golden age quality affordable of guitars. Have been playing over 60 years and have had several hundred cheap and expensive guitars over the years. I can’t believe the cheap guitars I would walk by in the trash and keep going and turn down when given to me are now selling for big money. They were garbage then. Norma’s, Teisco, St.James……..maybe because they’d have 4-5 microphonic pickups and loads of switches and knobs.

I bought 2 Firefly ES 335 clones from the Guitars Garden website a few months ago. The Prismatic finish (saw it right here in your video) and a pink finish that was on sale. The pink one arrived with a BADLY warped neck and I returned it. Customer service was responsive and they issued me a return label so it wasn't too bad. I did have to rebox and drive it to Fed Ex, so a bit of a pain.The multi colored guitar had a cracked pickup ring I had to replace. I wasn't a huge fan of it at first but after playing it more and more it's growing on me. I wanted a semi hollow to add to my collection and tend to play mostly harder rock/punk/metal but I do think it's quite decent and worth the money.

If you know how to set them up properly, they're downright playable and can even be playable out of the box. I'd also, "Simply wait."

Sometimes the knockoffs are better than the knockoffs they've knocked off. See: most knockoffs of Gibsons for example.😂

I bought a Firefly Les Paul type guitar a while ago. It was NOISY AS HELL. Took it to the guitar shop and the wiring was total crap. I'll never buy another one.

It's unbelievable. Copying everything. Scamming and cheating.
