Firefly "Red Bat" LP arrived last Friday along with a Gold P-90 LP and 3-Pickup "Black Beauty" LP.

More pics and reviews in a few days of the last two...

FF PUPS are usually their weak point but in the "Elite" series they've stepped up their game
and they sound pretty good tho still microphonic at High Gain. Finish is flawless. Added a
TP-6 Fine Tuning Tailpiece, Oiled the Neck, Installed 9s with Nut Sauce and made minor
adjustment to the intonation. The Truss Rod was dead on from the Factory. Everything
else is Stock. Sounds and Plays KILLER.

$257 SHIPPED to FL...no tax!

Probably the same factory as FF uses these days tho they did change
to a new one this year and quality has increased big time.

Got a link? Curious about price. I'd NEVER order off that site tho.
FF distribution is in California so at least the gear is here and only
takes 5-6 working days to arrive in FL

The FF "Bat" series are also in Blue, which I have, Purple and Green.

I don't anticipate picking those up tho. With this last batch my "Collection"
has hit 30 guitars, I have NO MORE room in the Studio, three 9 Space
Racks and 3 Free Standers so that's it until I decide to Thin The Herd.

Speaking of which, I have an Agile AD-2800 Double Cut, Flame Maple Red
with what appears to be EMG Pups in it and a battery compartment. Picked
it up four years ago off Reverb. Played it twice and didn't care for the Pups
so I'm considering selling it. I figure $400 +50 to ship. It DOES have ONE
small ding on an edge but other than that pretty spiffy. I just did a "maintenance"
run on it...Oiled the neck, new 9s, reset the intonation, action is low too.
Thoughts anyone?

Congrats @LightWingStudios I like the way they did the burst dark start and with a short fade. Maybe we should start a FF thread with lots of pictures.

Why they cant ship to canada is beyond me. They did for a short while, shipping was $65 i think?
I bought a honeyburst lp last year, almost $350 cad by the time it got here (double shipped)

Congrats. Are the diamonds on your headstock even? Tailpiece straight and not lower on the low E string side? Then you got a good one. Here's mine waiting for a black TUSQ Nut for a complete black out. Congrats.Image

You don't. Their advertising and photos are not exactly 100% accurate. There have been issues lately posted on the Facebook forum of people ordering black matte guitars and getting green ones. I sold a few because they were pictured without pickguards and came with them...and when the pickguard was removed the holes on the body were atrocious. However I will say in the 10-12 I have ordered, I never had any issues with the frets at all....not sure how many were stainless...but the ones which were not were extremely well done.
