Got my FireFly FFJA 30" baritone todsy. Stoked to finally have an off-the-shelf 30" in Arctic white with maple fretboard. The fact that it costs under $200 shipped sweetens that deal.
Was surprisingly setup decently out of the box. I'll still tweak it just bit to suit my preferences, but I've absolutely no complaints about it so far. The neck is on the thinner side for me, but still comfortable. The stock strings accommodate drop A perfectly
Was expecting to hate the pickups, but their lower output appeals to me, so I may leave em for a while. I'll find out when I open it up, but I'm hoping the pickups are four conductor so I can throw in some series/parallel switches
The only things I feel I need to change are the knobs and pickguard for purely cosmetic reasons.
This is also the first guitar with standard PAF-style humbuckers I've owned in years. Feels kinda weird, but they sound great

Very cool, I didn’t know there was a firefly baritone. I got a semi hollow Tele.

"I don't need one of these. I barely play the guitars I have. I don't need one of these. I barely play the guitars I have. I don't need one of these..."
I don't think its working.....

I keep having to shake this one off too. I do play the guitars I already have a lot so my chant is more like "you already spent more than you should have this year and it's January 10th."

Well, to justify this purchase, I just told myself I didn't have a guitar with traditional humbuckers, and the 5 subscribers I have on YouTube demand satisfaction

Not Interested
Well that's a vibe

Two expensive new pots and wire for my Jazzmaster arrived yesterday. I bought 2m of black and white gavitt but also 2m of a brand called Vparts that looks to be exactly the same at half the price.
The switches are in the mail with an order from Retroamplis.
I also bought a bunch of knobs and enclosures from Banzai but it's been a few days and the order is still processing. Seems to be as slow as Musikding. Don't know what's wrong with those German stores. Tube Town ships very quickly.

And my 7th Les Paul was because I didn’t have a black one, then I bought two.

Love a block marker neck… local GC had a scratch 'n dent squire tele thinline for <$300 with one and I hesitated…
This blue box with weird green rectangles came in the mail today:
And yesterday a bunch of pink bags, wrapped in pink bubble wrap, wrapped in another layer of pink bubble wrap, shipped from Thailand arrived. So I have to exercise a lot of willpower to continue working today and not immediately dive into this…

Musikding seems to be an employee bottleneck handling a lot of orders. Banzai has an atrocious inventory management system which hasn’t scaled.
Any store managing a bunch of little parts at scale is going to suffer when they have to pay German wages and benefits. Hell, just starting a business to sell pedals on the side is a massive undertaking!

My latest from the PPCB sale...and I finally got a pick!! Woot!
Amongst the fray is a second Fuzz Aldrin board that I'm planning to build with some of @Chuck D. Bones mods!
And my first Lectric FX board! Stoked about this one. Always loved the CE-1.
