I am having a bit of a Firefly infestation problem!
That's bad, but @LightWingStudios has it much worse...

@tobijohn is fairly accurate. 
NEVER paid over $275 EACH with Shipping from California to Florida for ANY of these...
If you're a "Mod Head" they make astonishing "Husks" tho I've left mine stock with the exception of adding a TP-6 Fine Tuning Tailpiece as can be seen.
I did buy TWO Black LPs with P-90s in them and slapped a set of Mini Humbuckers in ONE to make a "LP Deluxe" model...also have 2 and 3 HB versions.

Congrats on the Firefly invasion! Nice collection.
I've been liking this one for a while, mostly for the neck heel for upper fret access. How do you like it?
If FF would start offering more finish options on this model, I think it would be a nice seller.
Thanks!

Thanks. I just can’t buy expensive guitars anymore. So much more bang for the buck and I learned how to setup and work on my guitars since a few of the Fireflies needed a little TLC.Buddha Pickups wrote: ↑Wed Jan 29, 2025 8:37 pm The walnut and spalted are very nice!

I have one. I got it out of curiosity. It was not okay when it arrived but after tuners, set up, pups, and a few other mods it is usable. I let a friend take it home over a year ago. He was wondering if he would like a semi-hollow so I said, take her for a spin. If he did not bring it back I would be just fine.

Out of my 10-15 I've definitely had a few questionable ones but most turned out good with new electronics and new bridges.tonebender wrote: ↑Thu Jan 30, 2025 6:31 pm I have one.

I like the mahogany LP with the tummy cut. Most of my guitars have the belly helper except my LP style guitar. Sanded my Tele and added the relief, but has it been unfinished for about two years. And the plan is to install TV Jones pickups. They have been maturing about as long. Retirement is looming though.
Problem? What problem. I don’t see any problems.
Great looking collection. I’ve been wanting a tele lately and have been looking at the Firefly’s on the marketplace.

I have to admit that a tummy cut on a Les Paul guitar would be nice. My Melody Maker has a slight contour. It is probably the most comfortable LP I have. The 60's Tribute is my number one for sure but that MM is a close second. It's thin like an SG but still has a maple cap. It is a pleasure to wield on stage. The slug P90's are very snappy compared to traditional Gibson P90s like those in the Tribute. It reminds me of a Tele sound when I play it.
