Hmm, this looks vaguely familiar.... I just can't place it

Firefly have been knocking out a lot of cheap decent looking axes of late, I have no idea of the build quality or playability.
But almost worth it just to hang on the wall and look purty!

I have been eyeing a 338 copy for some time, as they are very highly rated for the price. They must be really popular now, as there are none to be had from the website. People are buying them up, tweaking them then selling them at 100 to 200 over list price.

Did you see the other 2 they have in this style?

How can children even make a guitar for $219?

And you got to figure they are making some profit at that so yes what is the real cost of that guitar build?
Makes me realize what a spoiled brat I am and how lucky I am really.

You'd be surprised how much tennis shoe and cell phone experience transfers over to guitar building.

Their tiny little fingers do such exacting work.

And they can easily work inside acoustics and hollowbodies.

That explains why the SE acoustic and HB line have to be made where they are.

I have a firefly and while they look nice I don't play it compared to my PRS guitars. But for $200 or whatever I payed I guess it's okay. Just not even on a level of a SE in my opinion even after changing out everything on it. I put a het set in it, and it has a cool tone now but in the end I don't like the feel of it I guess.

Does this count as the SE model being rumored about?

It the OrianthiFly CAASE version.

I prefer the Jay Leno Fly.

they may not be making a profit but they make up for it in volume

So I bought one of the FireFly FF338 model guitars. I was quite pleased with the build of this guitar. I might be a lucky one, but the thing was near flawless. MInor finish flaws aside, it is a really well built guitar. Ball end stainless steel frets, full size pots, decent tuners, decent pickups, For $220 it's worth more in my opinion. Out of the box it needed only minor tweaking of the board to bring it to level, action was good but I lowered it to suit me. Intonation was perfect on every string. It would make a good starter guitar for anyone looking to buy something for a loved one. But, be prepared to deep dive the guitar when it arrived to make sure it meets spec. I have read that QC can be hit or miss on all their models.
