Hi Kindy 👋 why thank you, my dearest daughter 😘 💖 ❤️ 💕

Congratulations 🎊 you will be pleasantly surprised at the weight and feel of this one if you think the lp is heavy. My IYV Tobacco Sunburst (IPF-300 TSB) is my top #1 HH configured semi-hollow body guitar. It's not only lightweight but between the nut width and the action it's my best playing IYV hands down

Are you asking for the output voltage? Not sure what you mean?

@dennyps1 yes.

@JerryWhite-ee5hy Here’s what Google says According to available information, the headphone voltage output of a Positive Grid Spark 40 watt amp is around 40 volts. Key points about the Spark 40: Power output: 40 watts Amplifier type: Class D solid state Headphone jack: Standard 3.5mm Important note: While the exact voltage may vary slightly depending on the specific settings, the output is designed to provide sufficient power for most headphones.

@dennyps1 I was wondering the watts. Because my headphone jack sounds great,and my speakers are crackling really bad.

Hi, and thanks so much for watching 👀 😊 Since you're brand new to guitar, my first piece of advice is to take your new guitar in for a string change and a simple set-up. This will be a great launch into the world of playing this beast and preventing minor things from making you discouraged in your new hobby. My 2nd piece of advice is to find a UA-cam channel that "speaks to you," and you really connect with for some beginners lessons. Since you've chosen to start on an electric guitar, you'll need an amp. Don't go wild here because as you refine your style, you'll know better what type of amp to get, so start with a decent but inexpensive amp. Go for it and take it one step at a time. Playing guitar is a journey and not a destination.

Olá sou do Brasil, sabe me dizer que tem o melhor custo benéfico essa jackson js 11 ou a cort X100? ​@@dennyps1

@headxkull137 I can only speak for the Jackson. I've never owned a Cort X100. Although Cort makes a huge percentage of the guitar's in the world, you might try UA-cam or reading Amazon or Facebook reviews

@@dennyps1 muito obrigado ✌️

After I completed my repairs and mods, it was a decent sounding and playing guitar. To your question, it's very much a personal preference, but I'll throw this in. Will it ever be really valuable 🤔? Probably not in our lifetime. Will it play, sound, and feel great 👍 Sure, after a good setup, it will rock great. So it comes down to what are your motivations for keeping it? Only you can answer that one. Note: If you are a tech kind of person and you can do the repairs and setup, it's a no-brainer. If you have to pay someone for the repairs and setup, then depending on how much it will cost, you might want to look elsewhere

Hi, and thank you. Watch again we state what the tip sizes are, we are using. In essence, the tip size depends on how & what you are going to mount your drilled rock too. If you're going to simply put a piece of leather or wire wrap through the hole, then you'd be okay with a 1 mm diamond drill bit. (Available cheap in sets at harbor freight). Or better quality ones available at rock & gem outlets. What type of rotary tool is up to you. We suggest a variable speed tool and also a 3' flex shaft. It really makes drilling a bunch easier

If you all would like to see more ideas then check our sister channel. Moss Agate Heart with an Embedded Opal ua-cam.com/video/_-YJULlr1HU/v-deo.html

Your information was so helpful. I really appreciate it.

Sure, just take it slow & easy and let the drill do the work. Don't press too hard when drilling

So true, these are very awesome pickups but they are spendy

Yep, it's not a bad price at all. I'm in the middle of modding it out. I've given it a unique paint job, replaced the pots with Bourns 500k full sized ones. Also, put in a Fender 5 way switch and wax potted the middle & neck pickups. I basically rewired it. Although to be a playing pickguard, I didn't "have to" do any of that. I know from the reviews that a few got duds but, for the most part, a stellar deal.

No doubt, and I hear you. Those CNC wound pickups are really nice all by themselves! I just wanted to mod this bad boy out and be able to split those great pickups, and it worked out great. I have several IYV guitars that I've left alone because they not only sound great & look great but they all play really great too

Cool 😎 glad to help. Good luck with your mods. Take your time, and you'll get it just right! One thing to note the Humbuckers in neck & middle fit really tight, so if you end up pulling them out, be really careful. I wax potted those two, and they are not nearly as microphonic now. Mine is turning out wicked cool. Just finished the paint job on the pickguard last night. Airbrushed on Createx "Metallic silver", then some "Candy2o blood red" over some cool lace material and finished it off with Createx 4050 gloss, and it came out great. Like I said in the video, I'm changing out the pots to Bourns 500k full sized ($15 on Amazon) and a Fender 5-way switch ($9.95 on Amazon), I can't wait to hear the difference in sounds. I will do a follow-up video as a demo.

nice, yea I got 500 pots on list n 5way switch kool man, kool​@@dennyps1

again thanx

Not sure what you mean

Your welcome 🙏

Price for what?

That sounds like a grounding issue somewhere on the guitar, but it's nearly impossible to tell with so little info and not seeing and hearing it myself. Try this. Undo the rear cover. Put the negative lead from an ohms meter on the ground part of the output jack. Next, touch the positive lead one at a time on each component, including the bridge and any shielding. If you run into any component that doesn't give you unity gain 0.00. Or, in other words, causes some resistance, then you've found your culprit. Resolder that joint or, in the case of the bridge, make sure that the ground wire from the volume pot is actually making good contact at the bridge

Thanks so much. I'll give it a go

They are excellent pickups, 1 piece of advice I'd share is to use 250k CTS or Bournes pots. Don't go cheap here. I initially installed 500k pots, and frankly, the overall sound was way too bright. Tex-Mex pickups don't need any extra highs. Just sayin' Good luck, and when you get it done, let me know how they sounded for you.

I'm glad you love it now but keep in mind to get a "high end" guitar with the same features would have cost you way more than another $60.00, $50 of which you got refunded. I'd say you made out pretty good. Also, what you've described as an online purchase being true of this guitar is true of even some big name guitar's as well. I've seen and heard of this experience by many in the guitar community. Thanks for your comments 🙂

Thank you. As to if they sound better, I've got that now, I dig how they sound (and don't squeak) thanks for the tip on longevity, many of my guitar playing buddies who use both the Elixir nano & poly strings say the same as you they last a loooong time Thanks for your comment 👍

Hi, Each acoustic is a bit different in the case of my Firefly GA01-E. The Elixirs are just right. One thing I didn't cover was the flexibility & comfortable feel of Polyweb's VS the D'Addario strings. The Polywebs have a much better feel to my fingers. Thanks for the comment 👍

Great question, and by the way, I really like the improved look on my fretboard. As a side note, I have also cleaned and conditioned this fretboard after the installation of these after-market fret markers with Dunlop 65 cleaner and conditioner, and they have held up excellent. Check this out I did a short video on them. Let me know if you decide to try them. ua-cam.com/video/I6O78NgygL0/v-deo.html

😆 🤣 😂

Welcome back to the wacky world of playing music. it's chicken soup for the soul. Drop the expectations that you should be better than you are, and just enjoy the journey of getting to where you want to be in your skill level. I really like the metallic red, it's a great 👍 color It sounds like you got a great one set up wise. Congratulations 🎊

@dennyps1 thank you very kindly. I was still playing piano and drums during the years just found guitar tricky. Like i said more patience now at nearly 40 is definitely helpful :)

@icalexander, I hear you, I went through a period very much the same, although I played some guitar (during the period of technology when it was more difficult to digitize analog instruments) I played a lot more keyboards and kind of set the guitar aside a bit. I even recorded an entire album using just my Yamaha MOX8. Now I take time for all the instruments

Thanks Mac!

Thanks so much. Just dig those Elixir POLYWEB strings

Just fine 🙂 a little stronger and louder than a solid body guitar

Awesome 👌, I see a similarity in owners of Bootstrap pickups. Once someone takes the plunge and buys and installs them, they generally go back for more, and I 💯 agree. Thanks for the comment 👍

Thank you

Really thank you, I hope it helped you some

Well said 👏 👌

Thank you for sharing this! As I say a lot, buying any guitar online is a bit of a crapshoot in terms of their setup. In the case of Firefly guitars, I've had good luck. That being said, they almost always have some issues that either the buyer or someone they hire will have to deal with to dial in a great setup. Overall, the quality of the components makes Firefly guitars worth more than they sell for by a lot. In the case of the Firefly GA01-E, it's my all-time favorite acoustic guitar. Like you, I had a bunch of setup issues to get it just right for me.

Hello, and thank you for watching! Matching a headstock color to the body is a bit tricky. It takes a lot of experimenting with color blending & matching, drying, etc. There are a couple of guitar painting shops online you can find through a Google search, but I'm not sure if they do headstock matching or not you would have to do some checking via email and ask if they do just the headstock. One that comes to mind is this one. They primarily do guitar bodies but may do custom headstock painting. You would have to email them and ask. simscustomshop.com/services/custom-paint/

I'm flattered, thank you. I have done that one yet, but I'll see if I can figure it out after I get out of my studio

Sounds like a great deal all around for everyone

Thanks for your comment 👍 it's a great point, and I'll definitely ponder that seriously. Good luck with the Iron Gear pickups, I haven't heard about those, but now I will look into them. Be well and take care for now.

With any online guitar, it's "luck of the draw" on a factory setup, and like I always say, if you can not do a proper setup, factor in the cost of a good setup it makes all the difference on whatever guitar you buy. Good luck to you on your search for the guitar that is just right for you.

Thank you 😊 🙏 for your kind comments
