I got artist pricing on my Matchless and could still sell it at a straight profit. Maybe you know someone who can hook you up with a deal at the Gibson custom shop 😎

I'm watching the new Spinal Tap on HBO, and Nigel is playing one.  

I lived across from the guy when he was building that company. Never knew it would be what it is today. Nice enough guy. He’s dead now.

Need back story. Lots of chatter about Nicole killing people. Feel left out on the open secret.

 

Also, the Firefly Firebird is down to $199. Tempted, but I don't need another guitar.

I bought a few of those Firefly guitars and thought they were all crap. Their fans rave about them and maybe I just got a bunch of duds but I thought they were bad. I’m still hanging on to a semi hollow tele-style model with P90s because I think it looks cool and may make it into a slide guitar, but even after swapping the strings they bend about as well as rebar, the tuning pegs require two hands to get them to move, and the action and setup are pretty bad.

I didn’t read the thread but I think she was active in the…. Austin has a lady bird lake serial killer thread or something like that? I assume she is the killer.

Firefly seems to me to be the epitome of "you get what you pay for."  Disclaimer:  I have not owned one.  But I have seen this game played before...Teisco, Greco, Kay, Harmony, Hondo, etc.  "Hey it looks just like the real thing!! Uh oh, plays like shit and hurts my fingers while it also fails to stay in tune."  Even for $100, that ain't worth it.

I think there are some pretty good options out there for less than $500. There are YouTube channels that do a lot of those reviews: Spectre Sound Studios, Guitar Max, Darrell Braun, etc so there is no shortage of info about them. But Firefly goes the ultra cheap route and all the ones I got just played like shit despite trying to set them up better. Here are the other ones I went through.

Up until the photo, when y'all said "Firefly," I thought you meant Parker Fly.  

Not quite. But it wouldn’t surprise me if they made a knockoff model. They are prolific with all the different models that they make, and lots of them sell out.
