I had bad luck with Firefly back when they were starting to become all the rage. I ordered 3 separate 338s back in they day when they only sold via Amazon and all 3 had significant issues that I had to return each of them.

Having said all that it does seem that the quality has been improving in general and they certainly have a lot more options available via the GuitarsGarden site. And the 338 was their first model so I won’t lie that I haven’t been tempted! I would want to buy via Amazon again so the return would not be a hassle, I’ve heard that it can be a big issue if you order via their own site.

I hope it works out and I know you will give it the full treatment - maybe some Buddha pickups?

Got to agree on their quality improvement. Over almost two years I bought ALOT of FFs and the body finishes on ALL of them has been flawless. Their PUPS are serviceable as long as you don't go "Gain Crazy". If your style is to go that route you'll definitely need a swap of HBs. Their P-90 models are great. Usual low cost import Tuners, Bridge, Tailpiece and Electronics. If you are a "Modster" you'll Live On The Edge Of Wetness with their guitars. Their Frets are incredible. FFs remind me of "The Heady Days Of Rondo Lore".

I haven't touched a guitar or bass in over a year, but that red one gave me a shiver....

Damn dude. You should build a web forum or something.
I was going to say it's amazing how many beautiful guitars you got there but none of them were the ones tempting me but then you snuck the V in at the end.
That and the lp jr DC ate the only holes in my collection.
Maybe should of done the langudec?? As it's just sooooo rare

How is the neck profile?
What is the scale length?

To recap, I installed Grovers, some custom Buddha pups and I stained the fretboard with ebony stain by Minwax. I took it to rehearsal last week and gave it a good workout through my Peavey C30. It is a perfect player and just feels solid as a rock. It has to be the best $179 guitar on the planet.
