Pretty much perfect right out of the styrofoam. Overly impressed for $200. Elite allegedly have better pickups.....not sure that's saying much, so swap may be imminent. Picture proof.

Very nice! What a great looking spalt.
Though I'm not convinced you actually own it. I require more picture proof :)

That looks pretty decent. What's the fingerboard material? And where can one see these for sale? Asking for a friend.

Could only upload one photo at a time from my phone. Fireflys go on sale on Amazon and Guitar Garden. They come in one batch at time and usually sell out within a few days. Weight? Not sure....box it came in was 11lbs. So 7-8lbs would be my guess. Rosewood board I believe.

That's cool, but where did you get yours for $200? I've been watching Amazon for 2 weeks with no LP's. Guitar Garden lists their sold out models with a SOLD OUT sign across them and there are no LP's. Ebay has some and they are all $359 and up? I'm looking for one and am just curious as to where you got yours for $200.

My guess is he got it from Guitars Garden -that's about the only place they sell the LP's and 338's now direct from Firefly. All the rest of the reverb and ebay sellers are likely just those who have purchased them to try and "flip" - but based on the number you see out there now that boat left the dock a while back too. They do sell out pretty quickly when they post them, but it's nothing like when they first started selling them on Amazon and they would literally sell several hundred in a couple of hours. The latest batch of juniors and DC's on Amazon have been there for many weeks.

My bad. Grabbed from Guitars Garden. Grabbed a Black Beauty a few months back. Was so surprised by quality, grabbed the spalted.
