This is not an honest company
I ordered a Firefly guitar from Guitarsgarden.com, which appears to be the "official" site for purchase, but nobody seems to know who Firefly guitars is, who owns them or where they are located. Everyone simply says "they are a Chinese company".
I have purchased several of their guitars and they have a pretty high quality build, but there components (which actually create the sound in an electric guitar) are really cheap. That being said, they are good upgrade candidates.
When I received this latest purchase, it was clearly used and/or a return. The protective plastic that comes on all pick guards and electronics cover was missing, with little pieces of it left in the screw holes. There was also a major flaw in the paint on the horns of the guitar. I did not purchase a used or returned guitar, and nowhere on their site did it state that it was possible I would receive one. I contacted their "customer service" three times on two days and never heard from them. That says everything about who and what this company is about. I can completely understand why the previous purchaser returned it.
I believe they knew what they were sending because when it is returned, and this is true for any high value item, the process records the serial number.
The point here is this is not an honest company, and if you have a problem, well...it's your problem, not theirs.
If I wanted a used guitar, that's what I would have purchases from a site that sells them, or at least tell me that's what I'm getting and charge a lower price!
One final point. DO NOT listen to the shills that review these guitars on YouTube! Do you actually believe that they will give "a completely honest" review and risk a company not sending them free guitars? Really?
