*NEW* Firefly FFSP | 3 Pup Blue Sparkle Burst | Review & Demo 

Cool, Jimmy! Another very different animal for your collection. It sounds pretty good from here. And it's.... interesting! Hope all is well up there, my friend.

Martin Barre would be proud. Great riff. Good looking guitar. I picked up their 2021 dual and triple humbucker "LP" style. The dual had some serious setup issues, but the triple was just about as much fun as you could have for under $250.00. Looking forward to the wiring video.

I had a wiring issue with an Austin LP style guitar once. They happen. Especially with a new model. I put CTS pots and switches in my Austin and I’d put it up against any Gibson LP on the market.

What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Jimmy 😊❤

Awesome JS🎸《☆》Jethro seems to Enjoy the Bridge eh👍🏾😁🤳A LizardBurst 3 cream color pickup version could sway me to click add to cart✌🏼😎☯️

Hey Chief! First off, my girlfriend really enjoyed that you played the Aqualung riff from Jethro Tull. She was impressed, as it seems that rarely do we see a demo done with riffs from such a classic rock band. Well done. Bummer about the wiring situation with the new guitar. We were looking at that guitar just the other day. I understand that sometimes stuff happens with guitars, and wiring issues. I just hope this isn't an across the board issue for them. Since they sent it out for you to demo, and sponsored this episode, one would think they would give it a once over before slapping a shipping label on it. Kind of scares me a little bit. I have LP's up the wazoo so this may be a hard sell with my girlfriend even though she liked the sound, and the paint job. As I mentioned to you on a different video, I've got my eye on something I think just might be a very special guitar. Yes, I'm being vague because I don't want it to be sold out before I can get the go ahead to make the purchase, but I'm sure you know what guitar I'm speaking of...lol! Thanks for the nice demo, and the Aqualung riff. Talk at you soon. QM3 Snarky

Love that outro Jimmy!! Love the blues!!

Look at it this way Jimmy, extra content. We get to watch you troubleshoot and learn. Nice guitar, but I'm not a sparkle fan. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend. Thank you for the video and all the time you put into each video.

Here's hoping you get it sorted... I'm still waiting for the next drop of Ghost Tele's.

I literally just ordered this a few days ago and it's supposed to be here Wednesday, can't wait

Good video as usual Jimmy. Just a few upgrades and setup. Your good to go. Great value for the money. Take care 😊👍✌️✌️🎸🎸. Jethro Tull. Cool 😎 . ( Id change the switch, the wiring and pots. ✌️✌️)

😅Love the Jeffro Tool Aqua Lunge 😂!!! (Don't want the copyright police knocking on your door) Love to see you enjoying yourself. Gorgeous guitar, I'm a sucker for the sparkling sparkles.

Nice looking blue LP style axe - and playing as usual! I also noticed that the majority of the new LPSPs don't have SS frets which I always thought was a real differentiator for Firefly, wonder why they decided to go that way,

Good evening Jimmy, the guitar looks very nice, it's a shame it didn't arrive in full working order, but I have no doubt you will get it in full working order. Hopefully it won't be a fatal fix, but just some kind of wiring error. Anyone who has multiple guitars must have experienced this, I'm looking forward to a video with a description of the repair. The musical pacifier with Jethro Tull is great. Greetings Pavel CZ.👍👍👍

It's like a kiss guitar

Wow that's a beautiful L.P. 💙😈😍 sounds good too. Im glad you are taking the issue with the guitar with a grain of salt. I expect it to have a wiring issue out of the box with any budget brand guitar like this one. Imo not a deal breaker if you like the guitar. Problem is wired incorrectly ( most common) or a faulty pickup.

Cool reviews James. Have you ever played a recording King dirty 30s parlor 00.

1) Wow! From John 5 to Ace Frehley, you really seem to be showing an affinity for all the wild and crazy metal guitarists out there lately!!! 2) This is another one I would NOT have expected you to go for… Somehow, I would’ve thought you’d be more of the 338 LUCILLE type! 😂 3) My bet regarding the wiring: To have not just one, but TWO pickups be dead like that, regardless of switch position, my bet is that it’s probably either dead pickup coils, or a ground fault somewhere! My bet is that some of the contacts on the switch are probably touching the shielding or the back cover. If it were bad solder joints, it would have to be more than 1 of them to kill 2 of the pickups that way, and that seems highly unlikely. That’s why my money is on a grounding fault between either the shielding or the cavity cover. If I’m not mistaken, the wiring on these should be: Bridge/All 3/Neck, with the 3 volumes giving you the ability to dial in Neck/Bridge or just Middle. As I understand it, this is different from how Gibson originally did it on their 3 pickup Les Pauls: Bridge, B+M, and Neck. I think the Firefly way seems far more flexible, myself! The single tone makes sense, too-there’s really no need for separate tones.

Hi Jimmy! Looks like you got yourself an "Ace Frehley Firefly LP style guitar", methinks! That's very similar to his custom Les Paul he got this century. My understanding is that he only plays the bridge pickup, so that way he can do the "killswitch" trick with the toggle switch. Anyway, I'd want all pickups wired as well :D Never had a 3 humbucker guitar, I wonder what that's like when you blast all three!

You buy this Ace Frehley style LP for that finish. The tuners and the stainless steel frets are a real bonus for the price. Thorwing in your fave pups and electronics makes a bargain guitar a real gigging instrument. Looking forward to the next one on this guitar!

sweet guitar brother! i think theres a "chibson" model the same color...possibly "chromiebuckers"? youll get the wiring sorted out im sure! im liking the valute on the upper part of the neck too!

Jimmy, I got one of those Firefly FFST's and I'd say they are well worth $500! One of the best necks I've ever gotten on a guitar, TBH! I also have a Firefly SG that is worth $500 compared to my other guitars. But I had an LP and an Explorer that were meh. Guess it's the luck of the draw!

Isn’t this like an ace frehley tribute? I had wiring issues with my buckethead ffsp. Bridge pickup wouldn’t play at all

From Leo: All that sparkle finish reminds me of the Myers Dune Buggy's we had in 1970. Too bad the guitar did not perform. I had a 3 split mini humbucker Strat a while back. With the 5 way super switch it had plenty of unique voices.

Jimmy do you know when the next Firefly shipment is coming in?

Hi Jimmy, I wasn’t a huge fan of those “S”Ps. I’m sure we all can guess why they had to change that 🤷‍♂️. Got on SOMEone’s radar as a well made (affordable) alternative? Anyway, while those were not quite for me, I have to say that the burst on the back of that neck is mighty fine looking. Can’t wait for the new drops. Do you have an idea of around WHEN they will hit the site? I check all the time, but it’s always helpful to know. I’ve been talking myself into a baritone lately. FF makes it easy to pull the trigger. (I’ve bought 12)😏. Good video, a master class in how to NOT lose it when NGD turns Sad. Well done. 👍🏻😁

Its pretty easy to rewire: middle pickup volume isnt switched, it's always on, where the neck tone would be. The rest is a 3 way switch as normal for 2 pickups and VVT. The 16" fretboard with a 12" radius bridge is a total deal breaker for me, that's just stupid. I still maintain FF barely knows anything about electric guitars, they just know what they do.

2 weeks and they are gone. But, there are still some other types.

Jeez, Jimmy - time to get your 80's hair band back together! That thing looks awfully big... small wonder it weighs nine pounds.

How disappointing. Beautiful guitar but so sad it had a wiring issue. It’s such a downer when you are excited to get an instrument just to find out it doesn’t work correctly. The same thing happened to me with the Epiphone Alex Lifeson model. I waited months for it, then finally got it and everything on it was amazing but the piezo. That didn’t work at all.

Multiple flaws in my new FFSP.

It’s (1) Thinner AND (2) it’s 9 LBS? Yikes! Hello 1970s!

No, Jimmy. The guitar works correctly. The other two pickups are just decorative. You have to get a lawyer to decipher the 97 pages of microscopic text, it came with. 🥲 But if I'm wrong, then imagine this. Firefly received the boxes from Asia. They then addressed one to you. But the result was exactly the opposite of what they wanted. The Firefly guy will attempt to blame the Asian inspector, who inspects one hundred guitars each day, and the higher Firefly guy will blame the lower Firefly guy, for not opening the box and checking the guitar before sending it to you. Here, I was going to put a laughing emoji, but, actually, the whole thing is too bad. You did a good job of salvaging the situation. 👍 👍 👍
