Shawn, you did a good thing, my brother! I don't believe in karma, but I do believe that you are unbelievably blessed! You're blessed with talent for playing guitar and for working on them! But even more so Shawn, you're blessed with being married to your best friend and business partner! You and Cathy are roll models and an inspiration among the dark and disgusting videos on KZfaq! I've been a PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN and PROFESSIONAL AUDIO ENGINEER in Las Vegas for 45 years. I've played up and down the Sunset Strip in Hollywood and up and down the Strip in Las Vegas with my band chasing that illusive record deal and opening up for acts from Pat Travers to Poison, Warrant to Doken, Slash to Vince Neil, Ace Frehley to Quiet Riot! You get the picture... I worked audio for everyone from James Brown to The Bangles, Christina Aguilera to Sound Garden, Mariah Carey to Billy Ray Cyrus, Prince to KISS... I love your authenticity! You know what you're doing, but you're not a KZfaq Douche! LOL... Anyway Shawn, I'm a big fan! I got really sick unexpectedly and am pretty much bedridden 18 hours a day. (Long story) I had to sell my collection of 23 guitars including 3 Les Pauls. One of which I had made to my secs at the Gibson Custom Shop just to keep a roof over my head until my SS Disability case got approved (2 1/2 year wait) I quickly had to get off of my "guitar snob" kick but was so pleasantly surprised to find out that you REALLY COULD FIND A PLAYABLE, GOOD SOUNDING GUITAR FOR UNDER $300.00! So you and Cathy always put a smile on my face no matter how much pain I'm in and I look forward to seeing new posts from you when they come out. Keep the faith and keep fighting the good fight my friend! And keep providing that you DON'T HAVE TO SPEND $1,000.00 + TO BUY A GOOD PLAYING, GOOD SOUNDING, AND GOOD LOOKING GUITAR! GOD BLESS AND TAKE CARE GUYS!

@Annunaki_0517 4 ай бұрын

That’s not how I use my fret erasers, I go over each fret lengthwise in three ascending grits, 220, 800, 2000, and the frets come up like mirrors. Takes a little bit of effort but if you’re gonna be playing it, it’s well worth the effort. The channel is growing nicely now, 100k by the end of ‘24 I predict. Happy to be lip-flappin’ since it was only 9k or so. Dave is just awesome. “Mercy!”

I picked up a classic sunburst Firebird with mini humbuckers from China for under $250. It's got a Richlite fretboard and aside from the mini potentiometers, there is not one thing substandard on this guitar. The switch is stamped Epiphone and the neck has a scarf joint, but it is a great toy, not sure I'd use it on a gig since it tends to squeal at high volume, but though an Orange amp it sounds fantastic.

@TimAKingJr 4 ай бұрын

Love the channel! I'm learning a lot every time I watch one of your videos. The Firebird look-alike came out really nice, the chrome hardware really set it off, and Cathy's pickups sound great in it. Keep up the good work!

I been following your channel for a little while now and I love it. You've inspired me to work on my own guitar and other people's as well. I really haven't dove deep into any yet but I will soon on my own. I'm really thinking of converting my squire strat into a hardtail and HH set up. My only issue with a strat style guitar is the placement of the top volume knob. I have a habit of rolling my volume off unintentionally while playing. I would also like to polish the frets and swap out the cheap tuners with some quality lockers. So far all I've done to one is adjust the neck, the bridge, the pickups and intonate. I would really appreciate any advice you could give me on what kind of hardware to use and the correct way to make it a hardtail. Thanks in advance and I will keep watching and learning from you. Keep doing what you do from a Georgia fan

That’s a home run for me! I love a Firebird style guitar, and WHaT!? How does she do it???? The pickups are fat and spanky at the same time… great single coil tone and full humbucker tone too. I always thought that a humbucker that holds its own when coil split is the mark of a truly high quality pickup build. All this, and you are in the Sunshine State too? I am a St. Pete guy and I love it here. You may be high in the running for “luckiest man alive” with me.

I love firebird pickups, have a couple of Lollar's in a Shijie Telecaster (TLV Classic P-90), replaced the P-90 pickups that were excellent. The pickups on my Epiphone Firebird, which is built just like the Gibson version (similar anyways), with a neck-through, and real Firebird pickups that SOUND like it. I paid about twice as much as this Firebird not on amazon cost, I wonder how they would compare? Maybe with Cathy's pickups the Epi would wilt...? Of course we are talking about humbuckers vs Firebird pickups, which are more like a fat single-coil sound, so it would be a dual to the end of love.............!

I bought the same guitar. I raised the action a little bit and the G and D were still dead at the 7th fret. I filed the fret into compliance and the guitar is now playable. But not everyone has tools or knowledge to fix this kind of defect. Otherwise, I agree with you... the paint and neck are eye candy. To Firefly's credit, I never did contact them for any kind of help. They might have tried to make it right. Nice review btw.
