HNGD!

I saw those and almost bit.
They were gone pretty quick. The other 2 were 2 HB.

When I saw the title I got excited since I would have grabbed an Explorer type there.
Explorer and Firebird are really the last body types I want and have yet to try and still GAS for, oh and a Gretsch Double Jet, and a the right double cut LP type, and a .......

From a purely visual standpoint, and at that price, that guitar is off the charts. If in addition to that it's actually a player, then it's an insane win.

You've gotta ask yourself, why doesn't Rondo offer something exactly like this at a similar price? I think that Kurt would sell them faster than they could arrive.

In some ways, the SX liquid is the Rondo version, and probably a better deal from a quality standpoint.

Firefly is still a young company and doing things in small batches and likely still flying under the radar when it comes to copyright issues, etc. If you spend any time in the FF forums on FB, you would see that their customer support makes Rondo look like Sweetwater in comparison. I believe FF is owned and managed by a Chinese entity as well, so that may also be part of the way they are getting away with it.

It's basically a different business model and my guess is that Kurt just doesn't want the headaches associated.
