Pros & Cons
Pros
The pickups sound really good through my amp and effects pedal on clean or crunchy blues or rock tones. Tone/volume controls smooth with good taper and no noise. Pots and toggles move well.
The finish is superb, maybe a or aa flame maple. I wish they offered it in other colors, like sunburst or natural finish. There is not a blemish anywhere on the finish.
The neck is wood with inlaid mother of pearl. The neck feels superb, rounded ball end frets are nicely polished. The fret ends are perfect.
Action was set low (but not too low) with good intonation and no string buzz. Tuners are tight, like mini grover. Keys seem to hold tune pretty well, but that will continue to be adjusted over time. Comes pre-strung but as with any, it needs to be tun... Read More
It has a nice mother-of-pearl inlay and a rosewood fret board. Not a huge deal, the frets just need to be smoothed out a bit.
Cons
The neck was backbowed and unplayable. The nut has some kind of globby residue unneath it where it meets the fret board. The selector switch works but feels like it's going to break with use (would never trust this gigging) pots have good taper but th... Read More
Highlights
Quality
Adjustable volume, bass and treble, easy pick ups, plug ins and tuning.
Great quality well crafted easy to tune sound is awesome
The treble side of the 10th fret is a fraction high and so that note on the high e is bad.
It was intonated and had a low action too very playable with no fret buzz.
Price
For the price, i think this is an excellent guitar.
No wonder these guitars are becoming very coveted for their price!
I really cannot believe these can be sold at this price.
I was absolutely blown away by the incredible value for money.
Packaging/appearance
Guitar came packaged well all it needed was a few small adjustments and new strings plays great comfortable and finish looked e... Read More
The guitar came in a body molded styrofoam box and arrived in good shape.
I was going to get to know it for a bit before i named it, but my wife gave it a long look and dubbed it "midlife crisis.
Competitiveness
It does have a thin neck as compared to other guitars but it's not bad at all.
The closest comparison to this guitars out of box experience is from an epiphone dc pro (genesis 2) and that guitar cost me twice as much.

Firstly the body is awkward but that is the style so it takes some getting used to with any new guitar

Probably not the best choice which also tales some getting used to but feels comfortable on the lap

It comes with everything to get started out of the box minus the amp prestrung guitar and a line in cable

I had a rattle on my low e when pressing frets which didnt translate electronically to the amp but was annoying so i will need to tweak the bridge and mess with the action
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I didnt have extremely high expectations but the pots and tone switch responded well no crackles and really made noticable differences in waveform
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The pickups seemed to detect nuanced strokes and picking without having to be overpronounced striking harder

Thats a bit too hot for me but on a guitar that most everyone will be shredding on i can understand why firefly put them in
