Ground wire through the trem spring loop: I bet that was a worker on their first day; Or a joke that the more experienced workers played on the new guy. Akin to telling a teen to check their blinker fuid.
This was needed. As retired luthier have been buying couple these guitars for fun and surprisingly happy w 2/3 so far. One needed a lot of fret level, great now. Was going to do a similar video as a public service but you did a very useful one, appreciate you. It really isn't rocket science like some think and you don't have to have my expensive tools. Congrats
@@trinacria1956 yeah so far I've had pretty good luck with the budget guitars... We have reviewed quite a few... I would say there's been five that I would say was substandard... And only one that wasn't worth fixing. Yeah I have a couple tutorial type videos on the channel... And some mod videos. Thanks for commenting and joining in on the topic... Always good to hear from other people that service and worked on guitarist professionally...
there is a group of videos covering this bridge... This bridge had some problems.... but is fixable.. Some of the other FR copy bridges just are not worth fixing...
nice cab demonstration brother! are there two 16ohm speakers in here wired for 8ohms? i wish the 1x12 cab had a 4ohm speaker so i could hook up my 4ohm crate for a "bigger sound".....its 8ohm(the 1x12 cab)....
The Higher the OHM load the more you PUSH your power amp stage in your rig... This can give you that BIG loud sound without the volume.... As the amp works harder to push the drivers. 4 ohm cabs in the guitar world really can't do this.... Halfer Amps like the DH500 and there 9505 Trans could run down to 1.5 ohms.... Witch today would be fine if you're doing a CAB / AMP IR. ( modeling type preamp ) Axe-Fx something like that. This V30 driver is a little on the Dark Side for me... I think they would work well with Cream Backs mixed in one cab... Speakers are key to your amps sound...... Change your speakers..... before changing your Pre Amp / Power Amp. Green Backs / Cream Backs / G12-65 / Penta all great drives. There are a lot of people that like theV30... So I'm sure your can get them to work once you dial in your amp. Thaks Again for commenting and joining the topics!
@@DominionFretWorks koool brother! i know my lil 15 watt solidstate crate(gx15r) wont ever rattle foundations even with the monoprice 1x12 cab...but im sure it will have more "body" than the lil 8in im running now lol... im wondering if it will be safe on the amp itself running a 8ohm 12in speaker...
great review brother! how is the routing around the neck pup in the body? i was hoping youd remove the scratchplate so we could see but it didnt happen lol... possibly include that in the future? ive come across a few monoprice guitars...os30 and the older T style that you have to remove the neck because of the lip with the 22nd fret blocking the removal process...plus the smaller routing as well... its a bigger problem on the os30 because you have your switch and pots in the scratcplate....should anything break under there oooo big bear to get to it.....
Yes ...the newer reviews go into more detail....As people asked for things they were added....Check out some of my latest reviews... passed 6 months or so... Very detailed. This guitar for its price point is hard to beat... Most of the time you can get them for 139.00 on sale on Amazon... Firefly also has a good telecaster for just a little more money...
@@DominionFretWorks hekk yaa brother im glad i found your channel! i compare and review guitars on my channel too...my playing is sub par but it still somewhat demonstrates what tones the guitar can do hahaha!!!
@@birdman316 Glad you found it as well... tell other about it ! I try not to be like the others "review channels" I really try to review the guitar and look at how it's made and check how it is setup from the factory. I would say most channels are DEMO channels... Also do Tech Tip Video's / Setup Videos / Mods.... Once we have a few more subscribers we are going to start doing a weekly hangout and chat.
@@DominionFretWorks awesome sounds great! yup very few channels dive deep in the guitar to show the build quality(or not)... ya some are really fast demo films not explaining alot....
Thank You ! Please subscribe if you haven't already... A lot of info on this channel. I try to do the best reviews on RU-vid. A review that covers the guitar and what you can expect to receive if you buy one. Thanks for commenting and joining in on the channel.
I've seen some luthiers use feeler guages right at the nut at first fret to file nut slots. Are you familiar with this? Advantages/disadvantages? I want to say I saw Dan Erlewine do it. Also, do you know of any cabs that have a 1/4 input jack? The multi fx pedal I have has built-in amps, and I was just curious about this. Would a PA cab work in this set-up? Hope all is well.
Yes, you can do that.... I did that for a long time.... the only problem with doing it is you need to do 1 string at a time as you install the strings. let's say you start with your High E string.... the B string is not installed yet. Now you can get the gauge under the High E without the other sting in the way... There is a radius to the neck so the strings beside the string your working on can get in the way... you're feeling the drag of the gauge between the string and the fret. hard to do with the other strings next to the one you're working with. It's a great way of going about it... very safe as long as you know how much to have as your set measurement. Some use a fret wire with the tang removed... Needs to be the same fret wire ( height wise ) they slide this right up to the nut and file to the fret wire.... this is the even safer way.. Now you're cutting the nut to the fret height of your frets making your nut work and act like a zero fret. I like the fret wire way if I am doing that type of setup... If I have a fret wire to the same spec as the guitars fret wire. I have done so many nuts in the passed.... That know how far I can push the cut. ( I have still cut too deep at times) if your setting your action above .085 on the E string at the 12th.... odds are you are going to be shape on the 1st fret if you try to keep the other frets close ( just as many shape notes as flat notes ) this is due to the string distance from the fret... it becomes greater as you go down the fret board. this will make the fretted note go sharp. You're bending the string down to the fret. You can move the saddle back and offset this....this will lower the tune of the fretted notes across the fret board. NOTE if you cut your nut for a higher action then try to lower your string you can get fret buzz on the 1st fret. this is due to the rake angle of the string to the frets. Large changes in the action height can make this happen. Lets say your at .085 Low E 12th and you cut the nut to be close on the 1st and a average across the fret board.... If you lower your action down to .06 or lower most likely you're changing the nut. This is way you see so many guitar companies do a basic setup at .07 /12th low E. it is a good spot as you can go as low as .055 and as high as .085 and still get a good setup. the nut is going to work with very little tuning. Everything works together... If you have more neck relief in your guitar this can sharpen the notes around the 7th,8th and 9th fret. remember your truss rod really is not deflecting the neck pass the 18th /19th fret ... it is bolted to the body of the guitar under those frets. Adding relief can fix flat notes around the 8th fret... It is not much... I know but it does change the notation if you add relief. 1) know your action height you want... 2) Know the relief you want 3) know your string gauge then start with the action height set at the 12th.... adjust the saddles to get your radius the way you like it... Some like a flat-er string radius vs the neck radius. once all this is done. start working your nut... each cutting pass check the fretted notes down the fret board. shot for just as many flat as sharp. Floating bridges FR type... 4) know that your bridge is Falcrum based, and this point is Infront of the string saddle...most of the time pushing the bar down ( lowing the string pitch ) will increase the string action height...... most of the time.. PULLING UP ! ! ! ! most of the time will lower the string action height... If you set your action to low ... up pulls will fret out... or choke the notes. When I look at Floyed Rose bridge the first thing I look at is the back set of the saddles... if I see the saddles in the 3nd hole... I know the tuning swing on that saddle will be limited... as the back of the saddle will most like hit the angled base plate. Next I know the saddle is move back away from its Falcrum point of the base plate. The greater that distance from the Falcrum to the saddle the more height change in the string as you use the tremolo. Kahler had a great system that was best for not doing this. As the saddles were mounted to a cam that moved. Sorry for chatting and chatting.... I love chatting! I love talking guitars! WE SHOULD DO A LIVE STREAM ONCE A WEEK JUST TO CHAT !
yep.... doesn't matter. it is easier without the strings..... also easier to clean the body and pickups without the strings.... I was under a crunch to get the guitar done... that night. but I also wanted to make sure it was as good as I could get it with the stock parts. I think this is a good setup for a new player. I wish the G string could have been a little better... but the average notation down the fret board was even... sharp to flat and the first fretted note was OK... I really need to make a list of things to do in a order..... and hang it on the wall. Cheat Sheet List
Been waiting for another of your DIY videos! Helpful every time, thanks again for providing such detail. And of course, love the P90 Goldtop and FR Les Paul in the intro :0)
The USPS guy keeps dropping off Les Pual Guitars............ I need to get to work on why they are here....... But need to do the Classic Guitar FLASH BACK video first as it was a poll Question on the next video... Last time I checked it was still tied . . . . . LOL ! ! I will do more fix and setup stuff..... Still have the FFDC to finish ... and a headless guitar that needs some work... well it needs more than some work( needs the neck seat milled down and angled....
I enjoy your videos. Today I learned a litte about filing the nut to help intonate a guitar. What you said at the end of the video about allowing your ear to recognize what that tuning sounds like when learning. Wish I had that kind of instruction when I started. I think everyone startut shoud understand the science of how sounds are produced and how all of the components work together to create music.
I learned on a Sears guitar that action height was set to MILES.... LOL with enough neck relief to still have .09 at the 10th fret when pressing down on the 22 fret.....LOL beginners.... have it so good now ! ! ! ! ! these new budget guitars are so good for the money... you would have had to spend 800 to 1000 dollars back when I started to get what a sub 250 dollar guitar does now AND you are so right about what you have said in your comment! Now days there is so much info out there for new players. I hope I can add to that info and help others in any way I can!
Man my OCD went into overdrive when you called that Peterson Strobe tuner a Robertson Strobe tuner LoL. Love the video as always very good information , As I am learning to do my own setups as well . I have found every guitar I own have a different set up personality, maybe it is the culture of the wood or something who knows right? I have learned to be flexible with my set ups as a result . Thanks again for the information.
LOL I did the same thing in the Epiphone Alex Lifeson review... Robetson Tuner..... Funny someone just commented that I did that in that video about 4 or 5 hours ago..... I will try to overcome my Robertson name calling and call it a Peterson Tuner . . 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ya every guitar has its own personality.... Let the guitar be what it wants to be.... it is the same with setups... There are many ways to get to your like setup... This was a basic setup as the guitar was very good to start with. when ya get into adjusting the truss rod ..... and fixing high frets ... that becomes a little more work. truss rod adjustments can make or break how your guitar plays..... Neck relief is one of those ... I like relief ... I like no relief... I setup the guitar with a little....5mm is a good starting spot...
I notice sometimes you refer to your Peterson tuner as a Robertson. is Robertson a brand you use at work? This is a really nice guitar however I feel like I have to point out that a Texas Toast Challenger Level 1 cost $1299 and for $100 more you can get it with custom handwound pickups made by Dylan Talks Tone however it doesn't come with a Floyd so that may be a deciding factor. I know this isn't a custom one off from a Luthier (probably $3000) but it's nice to know there are small American guitar companies trying to pass on a savings to the customer. Thank you for the review 🍺
Ya.... I do .... LOL Dunno why, I call it a Robertson. I have some of Dylans pickups here... very nice pickups. The pickups in the stock Epiphone are fine. The way it is wired allows for so many different tones. Would the Dylan Pickups be better ???? Dunno. I have reviewed a lot of guitars.... The sound you hear is not just the pickups.... The Amp has more to do with your tone.. IMO Not saying cheap pickups will sound like Dylans thought a great amp... not at all. But you will get more from your amp and how it is dialed in. For me... the tones from this guitar are fine.... It hits all the marks for the tones needed to play a wide range of music. Sometimes ... we over think things.... LOL and chase a tone...Let the guitar speak to you. They will tell ya what they like. the feedback you get from the neck and the tone you hear will push you play new things if you bond with the guitar.
I have played a step down most of my life. But this was setup for someone else. I have heard this before about the HZ. Thanks for commenting and sharing. These videos are always hit and miss on how RU-vid pushes them. I hope you liked the editing in the video... only had 1 or 2 sync problems... and tried some new stuff.
Hey, do you mind to let me know, which is the yelow guitar brand? The yellow one, next to the yamaha hss red one? Is it a musicman? Is it a axis? A sterling? Thanks in advance
That is a Firefly FFMN. It has been reworked 100% by me to make it a SUPER BEATER ! I did look at the AXIS models but none of them had the FR bridge. So when this model showed up by Firefly ... I was hoping I could Hot Rod it and build a great guitar out of it. If you go to the channel home page click on videos... them guitar setups and mods.. you will find 6 or 7 videos on fixing this guitar. The first group of videos was me fixing the best I could with all STOCK PARTS... just tuning and setting up the guitar the best I could. The 2nd group of videos ... I mod the guitar and make it a super beater bar guitar. Bullet Proof Player! I have a little over 550.00 dollars in the guitar with the parts ... and way too many hours of work ...LOL ... But she is a player !! !!
@@DominionFretWorks yea I hear that. I am in the middle of changing my Floyd for a Gotoh but I'm having some trouble with the peg removal at the moment. But I'll get em out
@@AngryTruckerBob Don't chip the PAINT ! ! ! ! ! you can chip the paint sometimes pulling the insert.... be careful with the first pull as it come off the paint.... but a block over the body to pry up on the insert with the fulcrum nut installed. That way you do not damage the body prying the insert.
I'm sure she well... The Father picked it out for her... I remember he said she liked Purple ! Always good to see new guitar players! This guitar is setup right and should be a great instrument to learn on and grow with ! Thanks for commenting and sharing your thoughts.... I never know how my viewers will take to my videos. I try to do videos for everyone. So everyone has something to watch and chat about. Need to start doing a live chat show... We have so many good people that comment. Thanks Again for watching and commenting !
ya.............. I know..................😥 I already miss it. This was the best guitar I have ever received from Firefly.... This one and the Purple and black FFST I reviewed about 5 months ago. I have over 25 guitars still here.... and I have sold 4 in the last week and 1/2 .... It is so hard to let them go. But I have to clear the floor to allow new guitars to come in and be reviewed.... I still have my FFMN ! ! ! ! ! the one I did all the work too.... Love that guitar ! and still working on the FFDC /FFTC once it's done it will be my go to P90 guitar. The MD 24 Dean.... WOW what a guitar ! The Kramer LP -FR ... So those 4 reviewed guitars I have just bonded with....
@@DominionFretWorks Ah, so the FFSP was “Phenomenal, but just didn’t bond with?” 😉 Firefly has definitely improved most of their models since their early days-my current FFTL is much better than the previous Nashville-style FFTL I had. It looks like these particular FFSPs seem to come from a VERY good factory! Too bad they can’t ALL come from that same factory. 😂 The FFMN-that’s the Music Man Axis/EVH/Wolfgang-style one with the Floyd Rose-style trem, right? I’m more of a jazz guy myself, so I’m hoping to get their Little Sister or FF338 one day.
@@zuperdee The funny thing is ....The Firefly FFMN was my first review here on RU-vid.... and That guitar had so many problems.... But I did 6 or 7 videos on fixing the guitar .... the first group was fixing with the stock parts.... then I did a group of videos doing mods.... But the guitar from firefly really wasn't that good... But now it plays soooooo good ! This guitar .... this Purple and Black FFSP was.... well just loved it.... But I have 2 great Les Paul's all ready... AND I just got a Firefly FFLP les Paul gold top P-90 with chamfered frets! !!!!! it is not a ball end fret guitar!!!! So I will be doing a full upgrade on this guitar.... Right now.... The two guitars I play the most .... Epiphone 335 DOT custom Fender FMT Tele Dean MD24 But my guitar.... the one I have owned and played more than anything else ! ! ! a 1989 Peavey Nitro Active... Guitars need to make ya want to play ! I find myself moving though models as I change playing .. month to month. I could list a few more... 86 Kramer Pacer IMP Peavey Vandenburg Volgoa VTL-2 burl custom But I just LOVE guitars ! ! ! LOL
Ya ... some come with locking tuners and some don't.. They are Grover-looking... OR Grover type tuners.. Firefly has never used Grover tuners. Working on the next video with guitar.... Doing a full setup video on it ! This is one of the best guitars I have reviewed from firefly.... great guitar!
@@mattdecker7141 REALLY ! ! ! ! I have never seen that on a Firefly ! Thats not good if they are doing that.... it is one thing to do a copy... but to do a copy with their name on them..... That is not right IMO. Thanks for sharing this... If anyone else has had this, PLEASE POST ! ! !
@@DominionFretWorks happy to send you a pic of you want. Says "Grover" and has all of the telltales of fake. Just got it today. Was surprised it said Grover but wasn't a locker...and really junky.
Nice guitar for the price really, considering the materials they used compare to the others in that price range on the other hand your doing an awesome job on pointing out the good and the bad thank you for your work.
I did a review of the GR Standard T Grote as well... Here is a link to that review. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YBtaiVkmkJg.html Thanks for commenting and joining in.... When you get your guitar plase go over the video and COMMENT on your thoughts on the GR-Standard T ... This keeps everyone up to date on the model... and helps others thinking about getting the guitar !
Awesome review thank you I'm glad I saw this video before buying it. I've seen bad frets like that before, it turned out to be an uneven fretboard, they need better QC for sure!
Just did a review on the new Monsoon MK2 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NzITj56zsAc.html Fret work is better..... but still has problems... I will be getting another one... MK2 after they refund this one.... I'll try again... You see why I returned it if ya watch the video. It is Leo Jaymz best guitar IMO. But ya have to check it... make sure it doesn't have the problem mine had ! Oh.. and please tell others about the channel.... Really trying to grow the group !
Thats the black one without the F-Holes right ???? I think that is the one you're talking about.... Love that guitar ! Please tell others about this channel... Really trying to grow the group... Post the video up in FIREFLY Groups... Those that want a true review will like the content here... We also do some repair work here... Anyway.. Thanks for joining in on the channel. Hope you checkout some of the other videos here!
This video . . . . I was pushing how I did the zooms and fade ins... My computer just jumps .... This is as far as I can go with the computer system I have. There is one really bad one in final thoughts where it jumps and then re-syncs. Working on a repair video now and having some sync problems..... I think for the video to go where I want it.... I will need better cameras... So, I will have to learn to live with the old QC from the video before this one. My next big check from SCREWTUBE I can buy a lens cover ...... Maybe.....for the camera I need... LOL gotta start somewhere...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks my Freind..
Wow those pickup readings! Firefly does seem to use different pickups in the same models beyond the designations of Elite, Classic, and Pro. Great review as always!
I’ve had 2 firefly’s …. The Red 338 and the goldtop p90…. The goldtop I still have and it’s got the fattest most surprisingly comfy and playable neck I’ve ever encountered!!! I don’t even have big hands or usually like big necks, but it just has that play me confidently feeling that you don’t get all the time !! I’m a soft v Strat kinda guy !! lol But seriously, the both of them were made very nicely and play great !! I’d say it plays just as well as my 50s standard epiphone, those and Jets are best bang for buck out there IMO
Ya... Wanting to get a JET GUITAR on the channel...Been looking just haven't pulled the trigger yet. I'm sure we will have one on the channel this year.
@@DominionFretWorks you won’t be disappointed, I’ve got the jt 300 and the js 450 , both great guitars, especially the Strat …. It’s one of my favorites and I own 34 guitars
@@TheUlesifah82 OK . . . . . You Win... and I thought I had a lot of guitars ! That is High Praise being one of your best out of 34! I may just do some looking and see what is for sale.... I'm thinking Tele... maybe... HMMM I have seen some nice looking Strats from them too. This is the hard part... picking one ! LOL I have sold 3 guitars this week and 1 amp... So, if I add 1 more guitar, I have still thinned the group! That is going to be my story... and I'm sticking to it .. LOL
@@TheUlesifah82 Sooooo If I understand this right.... New Guitar Day happens more than once a month...at your house... I think we have reviewed 41 or 42 guitars here over the last year or so.... and this is a review channel! on my guitars... The ones I buy for myself or have had for some time.. I think I have 12 Guitars that I call mine. These are guitars I play for a little then they get a rest... but when I pick them back up... I fall right back in love with them.... Those are Keepers!
Here is the First video on UPGRADING the FFDC/FFTC ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h3C7w4AiNfA.html We will be getting back to this Guitar soon.... But for right now there are 3 upgrade videos for you to watch.... The stock guitar is great.... Pickups are to taste... The guitar in its stock form is really good... Thats why I picked this guitar to update... start with something good ..... and you will always end up with something great ! Dylan Talks Tone has some of the best p90 pickups.... That is what I ordered for mine. watch the videos... and comment there after you watch them.... I hope you watch more content on the channel... Thanks for commenting and joining in!
All guitars have something..... Remember this is a REVIEW channel... Not a DEMO channel. My job in the review is to find the good and the bad. BUT we have had some guitars reviewed ... here that did PASS in inspection without issues. As far as this guitar goes... The MONSOON. I like playing the guitar it has a good feel to it... I like the sounds it makes... If the guitar makes, ya want to play it.... Then that's your guitar. I just try to cover the product top to bottom... What you don't care about.... Someone else may have to have.... Some people are all about the finish and look.. Some are all about the tones.... Some are all about the feel.. and there are some that want to know how it is constructed. then they want to know all the above and then more... I hope this channel is for everyone... As there should be something in every review that everyone wants to know. Plus, a little more ... I hope. Thanks for commenting and joining in on the topics.

You've reviewed some killer Fire flies, I've went to the website but don't even see the models on the site. I'd love to buy this one and both purples you've reviewed but I can't find them
Firefly does short runs on models..... Most of the time the model will be on their site for 3 or 4 weeks .... Sometimes they sell out in 1 day ! This guitar was on the site for about 3 days... then gone. They have done this model 3 or 4 times now. The Purple LP from Firefly I review ... That was the first time for that guitar. I sure it will be back.. As it sold out fast. The Purple Strat has not been back.... Maybe next production they will do the Purple Strat again. I still have the purple STRAT !

I bought a GAX-50, about 20yrs ago. Still plays great, and holds up well. Same style bridge, but only 2 knobs. Only issue it gives regularly, is the pot and jack retaining nuts loosening. It's definitely my heaviest guitar, by couple pounds.
Put a little BLUE LOCK TIGHT on the treads of the jack..... then install the nut. let the lock tight get semi dry ... tacky before installing the nut. I have some guitar for whatever reason... did that... They don't do it any longer ... after I did this trick. Teflon tape is used sometimes too.... If the blue doesn't hold up you can use red, but the red is on the strong side.. and sometimes is hard to loosen after you use it.

It's what the channel is all about !
FYI . . . . This was the best guitar I have ever received from Firefly.. I really wanted to keep this guitar.... BUT... to keep the channel moving and getting new gear to review. I sold the guitar today... My next order from firefly I will do the same thing order 2 or 3 guitar for review. Until then we have 8 guitars here and ready to review. So, we will keep moving through them as we can !
I got a LP this last May and I am just as happy as you are... Firefly started with decent guitars, with a great price, and have moved up to what you see here this last year... I now have a 338 version and the LP version and am totally happy with both. I have no issues in playing either, and no issues about the build quality... I'd recommend them fully... to anyone...
@@DominionFretWorks Better electronics are always welcome... but things like the locking tuners, and frankly the innovations in design are all good... I don't know about you but I want a guitar that looks good and while I don't like some of the finish designs they are all excellent... and more, they are getting better... both the tech and the designs...
Well I watched the whole video as always. And now it kinda makes me happy that I got the Version 1 Monsoon. I really did not like that neck issue you brought up. Yea a shim can fix it, but this should never left the factory that way in my opinion. I admit that is a beautiful burl finish tho. And you didn't bring it up but I heard that the neck is thinner than the version 1. I would like that better as I do feel the neck on mine is still a tad bit too thick. I've always preferred a very thin neck. Leo Jaymz is doing a rockin Job tho. It seems he is listening to RU-vidrs and trying to make improvements. That's more than some companies are doing. I think he has a really good future if he keeps it up. The Monsoon truly is a Beast of a guitar and an Amazing Value in my opinion.
I got the green burl one and i had to level a few frets but i love that thing and the tuners on mine do stay in tune pretty well. it sounds great and is very light so it does not hurt my shoulder like most of my other guitars.
It is on the lightweight side of guitars...That is nice if you're doing set list after set list.... The tuners are the big thing I see with this guitar.... A good set of locking tuners for QUICK string changes....and work smoothly with a ratio that lets you fine tune. But I have liked both Monsoons that I have played.... Just waiting for them to fix a few more problems before I do one up as a go to bar guitar!
Thank You ! This was a fun guitar to play! I tried some new video edits.... to zoom in and out.... Messed up in a few places ... but I think it looks good with the angles... Still learning. Trying to do the best videos I can... and learn with each one ! Thanks for commenting and letting me know you like the content.
Suuuper information to know .. i was wanting it for the look tremolo and the actives especially for the outrageous price.. so now ill just buy some active pups for my guitar.. i like fluence over EMG... More resonance and overtones by 25 percent id say.. and just killer for fantastic feedback and sustain.. and you my friend are a great player with some killer sound goin on in that room !!! .. happy 4th ! 😊 I'll tell who i know to sub for sure... You should be on top of the demo dudes for pure information on the good and bad of any guitar.. 🎸🎸🎸
