Great video and playing! Thanks so much, that was awesome!!!

Time for a video. I can't believe all these guys bought the firefly and nobody has posted a recording (if you have and I missed it, please let me know). Anyhow, I took it upon myself to make a brief video to show off this inexpensive guit. Low tech stuff here. Filmed with my Canon powershot sx150 with no editing (that will be apparent if you watch it). Just wanted to show a bit of how it sounds. Played through my Fender Blues Junior. As one would expect, it sounds much less bright and more full bodied through my quilter mini, but I filmed the Blues Jr cuz that's what I use the most and cuz many of you have them. Enjoy, be nice.

Great video! Thanks for posting. I didn't already own one of these great guitars, your video would have sold me. That sounds great through your Blues Jr.

 

[MarkDyson]

That was some tasty stuff right there—and I highly approve of your color choice!

Nice work and a great looking sounding instrument!

Thanks for all your kind feedback. It's amazing how anxious I got with just a video camera in the room. My playing was stiff and tentative which really affected the tone and timing. The guitar does sound better than that when played well.

A friend of mine was playing in a band and a professional musician came to one of his shows. My friend asked the musician for feedback about his band and the pro said, "there's nothing wrong with your band that 200 live performances won't fix." I have 4 gigs under my belt and I can see that another 196 would really improve my playing. Hope I live long enough for that.

Thank you for the video. Good job. I have the blue Fly but after seeing yours I may have to get a black one. And with the possibility of a GoldTop LP Fly coming out.... Good value for the dollar. But I’m getting crowded out of my music room with all the equipment.

I saw a blurb on their Facebook page that hints that they may be offering a green-burst in the future.

Green burst LP or or the semi-hollow? A green burst LP would be really tasty.

Are their LPs as highly rated as the 335s? And similarly priced?

Green burst semi-hollow. They're also doing a gold semi-hollow. Past colors of the LP were gold, blue burst, silver burst and sunburst.

Haven't seen too much about them. They sold them for $129.95 last year, but with a little amp included. I'd guess they'd use all the same parts except for the body.

I think the semi-hollow.

Well, a green burst semi-hollow would be pretty damn sweet, too. But, I already have a red one. I kinda wish now, that I had waited to get a green one, instead. If only I had known ahead of time.

Well, I don't even know if it's a sure thing or just something they are thinking about.

I really wanted a blue one and resisted the temptation, I don't think I could pass on a green one.

 

[TwoNotesSolo]

I can pass on the semi hollow for a while, hoping to get a "real" 335 for my 50th birthday.
I wonder how their LP compares to my monoprice gold top.

Why not just ask for four Firefly's, one of each color, and a check for $2,500.00?
