When $237 Is Better Than A Sharp Stick In Your Third Eye

Wed Apr 20, 2022 12:01 pm

Resistance Is Futile...just snagged a "Firefly Pegasus" in Blueberry Burst for $237 shipped.

These guitars and the PRICES remind me of "The Early Rondo Days Of Lore".

Ok...you can hate me now.

If the 3 blueberries I like the look of that one the best. And yes it's reminscent of the rondo days of your, or the Harley Benton craze of a few years back, or even the first firefly rush.

I wish you much better luck than I had with my Firefly adventures - I know a lot of people had no issues at all, but I ordered 3 and all 3 had to go back.

I'm not expecting perfection at these prices but if the neck, tuners, pups and electronics are decent plus a good setup brings them up to snuff I'll be happy. I bought the V and Firebird mainly because I've never owned either of them before. When spending $778 for THREE guitars is close to that of ONE high end Epiphone it may very well be a crap shoot. As a wise man once said..."We'll see.".

It does feel familiar. And I got the same urges. I bought my firebird-esque washburn a few ago. I have a vintage V but really want a knock around one. And that hollow langadec wasn't even on my radar til now.
None I need and prices going up but if I run into the right deal I may have to buy in self defense.

Hmm...buying in self defense is a new one for me, I will have to try it out on my wife and see if it works.

On that note it does look like there is a $6 off coupon for a bunch of the fireflies on their ebay store if you need to stock up on ammo.

Buying in self defense is when you have to buy I because it's so cheap f you didn't it would kill you.
