I see relic as art.

Hello, I wanted to ask you which amplifier you tried it with and if it has any effect, like reverb or something like that, both this one and the Slick SL57 (in a video from about 7 years ago). Thank you, your reviews are very good!

Ill love if you can help me out ill want to know what upgrades can i put to this guitar to make it as a real gibson idk anything of pickup or tuner brands that fit on this guitar unfortunately

firefly equals slave labor. mystery solved.

Some nice playin' at the end there. All the best with your treatment, kick it's ass!!!

I just ordered my third FFLPS today, an orange bat. I have 2 yellow bats as well. You're absolutely right, pickups and machine heads can be replaced but don't necessarily have to be, just depends on what you want out of the pickups. I want an explorer type and a V too. I'd also pick up a tele type with two humbuckers and the switch up top.

Groovy!!! 🤙🏽

This is the BEST video I have seen on the Valeton GP-200LT. Thank you!! .. Subscribed. Best of luck with your cancer treatment 🙏

I have no idea how I never saw this video before. I can honestly say I believe this is the first time I was able to hear a difference between guitars. The Firefly does sound good I'm not taking anything away from that. The Les Paul just sounded more crisp and clean. Thank you for this demonstration. I have subscribe to your channel for a good while and I don't know how this one got past me. I do notice that sometimes no matter what type of material is in the videos that some of them do slip by.

Gibson, Firefly, Duncans. In that order.

上次我去买的时候，我发现他们没有绿色了，买了一个我喜欢的 Tele，我刚看到绿色有货，又买了一个 Start，我希望它能像 Tele 一样好用。感谢您提供关于这把遗物吉他的视频！

New here, bro, you got a 💎 there. I sold my plucky. :D got a stratocaster that sounds good. Prayer for God's will. I walk with people through their cancer.

I just found you. I love your attitude your info is on point. I will follow you with this and pull for you. Go get um killer

The only difference that I can't fix, correct myself is the price. I'll take a Firefly everyday over an overpriced Gibson

Wow, great playing.... I think you could make any guitar sound good !!

Hey Rog, I'm new to your channel, subscribed! Love all the reviews (including amp tone philosophy), and playing, always super tasty and in tune! I had been eyeing this exact guitar on Amazon, watched your video and nabbed one, same color before they ran out of that run. I finished off the relic including hardware and parts, bought a shiny standard 6 screw Guyker bent saddle bridge with the big block for 17 bucks and it fit perfectly in fact better that the one in it, so that was my only added investment. Relic'd all that. I found the pick guard was too close to the bridge plate, so I trimmed the guard to give it clearance, then my usual ritual to get it to stay in tune with a floating trem setup. I cut the headstock into a slightly shrunk "F" style, added a damaged decal I had laying around and relic'd the headstock. The fret leveling was already just perfect, nothing needed! I think I'll keep those pickups a while though they sound great despite being ceramic, they are nicely wax potted. Like another commenter my pots were actually the small size, but work great. I love relic guitars, do a lot of relic work. Relics have been around a long time, I knew guys doing it well in the 90's and before, for me anyway, playing one is super comfortable and less intimidating, don't have to worry about scratching your shiny new guitar. I bought this KGD really primarily for it's looks! But it's just a great guitar, lightweight, and very resonant with that mahogany body. Wow. Thanks' again for the great demo, and good luck with your treatment, I've had several cancer issues including throat cancer, so I've been through all that chemo, IMRT radiation, etc. I know it's not a lot of fun, and I wish you a great recovery! Can't wait to see your update!

That Tele copy sounds incredibly like a vintage one from a certain company. Looks good too but I suspect you would make any guitar sound very good.

Praying for you to get healed and to get well soon. Awesome demo and review of this guitar

Praying for full recovery for you Roger. Thanks for the cool vids...The first one I saw was your vid on the Grote Hollow and I bought one! Still got a couple of things to finish with it. Thank you, get well!

I just got one of these and it is way better than it should be, for $230. The relic job is pretty good. Of course not Fender Custom Shop good, but it looks and feels really good. The tuners seem solid and hold tune pretty well. The pickups actually sound pretty good (Squire Classic Vibe type sounds). The frets are very rounded and decently polished, although they are a bit short for my taste. Knob and switches are solid. Punches way above it's weight.

It was all out of sync, or was it meant to be?

Useless

Well done demo of an interesting Tele guitar. I see they've already raised the price to $200, but still a good deal I'd say. Nice that the neck pup rout can fit a p90 or humbucker, that's clever! I like what I can see of the relicing, it looks pretty realistic. What kind of paint? Nitro by any chance? Excellent playing as well; I can tell you've been at it for a lifetime! Speaking of which, best wishes for your recovery. I've been dealing with some potentially terminal health issues myself; not fun at all... If I wasn't already at the point of already liquidating most of my stable, I might get one of these as a modding platform; although I think that I've done all the mods that I'd ever want/need to do. (Though that could just be the illness talking...) My favorite mod I've done is my 27" baritone Coodercaster 'hog TL with a 50s Rickenbacker horseshoe magnet pickup at the bridge and a 60s Teisco goldfoil at the neck. I've never played a Tele that sounds quite so good!

I think you forgot you already have a "couple" of guitars behind you... 😂

Wishing you the best. I just discovered your channel while searching opinions on this guitar , which strikes me as a great project platform. Thanks.

i just cant have firefly on the head of my axe...lol..maybe im shallow...its a dam good axe tho...

I think I would pay $170 for the body alone, love the P90/Humbucker route in the neck

..now $228 on Amazon

If you mod the guitar can you check if the sunburst continues at the bottom and back? It would be cool to reveal more of the two tone color.

I have a naturally worn KGD from the fifties … Joking aside. Get well soon.

Amp? Or modeler?

I'd been eyeing these on Amazon for a couple weeks, waiting for another video opinion to pop up & convince me to jump on this guitar, and saw yours show up, so thanks for the detailed video. Great playing. Praying for your health journey. I'm headed for a biopsy myself next week, and since I'm not sure what lies ahead, I was hoping to have a project to work on, so this guitar will allow for that; mine arrives today. Eager to hear of any mods you do; I'm looking to put some Bootstrap Vintage Pro pups in this.

What amp are you using?

I don’t care for a new guitar that has been made to look worn. If the guitar is worn with age that’s ok but I’m not buying a new guitar that’s made to be ‘old’. That’s just my preference and I know a lot of people don’t look at it that way. Also, I don’t understand putting a bunch of upgrades on that off brand guitar when you could get a Fender Strat body and go from there. I suppose you are intrigued by the challenge of making that particular guitar 🎸 better. I get that. I’ll be looking to see how it turns out. 👍☮️🌞🎸🎵

Wow, what a surprisingly decent relic job. On my phone screen anyway. Green ones are all gone! Sunburst would do. Thanks man

I purchased the same Relic Telecaster guitar from Censtar and it feels fine to me, can you test the Censtar guitars? I would like to know the difference between the Censtar Relic Telecaster and the Fojill Relic Telecaster!

Just wanted to say thanks, guys like you make this inexpensive guitar journey a lot of fun! That headstock looks almost Sire-like... almost. I guess I've become spoiled, I'm waiting for a $200 Tele with a 14" or flatter radius rosewood (or any dark wood) dot neck fingerboard in a good pale yellow, string through with individual saddles with a black pickguard. Not too picky, am I... LOL. Oh, and just a touch over 7lbs would be nice too. I had done headstock reshaping on several of the initial Indio Teles when they were string through and $109 on Amazon. Used a coping saw and WEN portable oscillating sander on the reshaping. I'm pretty good at it now :) I have butchered a few but I honestly enjoy the process of "tweaking" these inexpensive guitars plus I'm getting slightly better at it.

Awesome ❤ We will keep you in prayer man. Subbed.

I bought one based on your review! I couldn't resist and I'm a custom shop Strat owner along with a 65 Reissue. Neither is reliced and I'm curious about the instrument.... Best regards and get healthy!

hope you get well soon brother! nice tele by the way! have you heard of tease brand guitars? right now theyre making "S" and "T" style guitars....im hoping to talk torsten jacob(owner of tease guitars)to consider the LP special style wth bolt on neck... humbucker models and p90 models...i bet theyll sell!

hekk yaa brother! sounds sweeet! i still have my king brand offset tele just like the one in your review! took me just about a year finding that bugger! i popped in better pups and replaced the 3way switch...sounds wayyy better than stock!

16:19 I could listen to an album of that. Great playing.

14:39 I'd take a non-relic'd neck over a poorly or overly relic'd neck.

Great video. Thanks for posting.

I don't mind relic guitars, and really like a couple examples. My only complaint is that it has inflated the price on used guitars with chips and dents on them. I've seen some stupid pricing on used guitars with "natural relic finish".

I love relics - the seafoam green over sunburst looks superb IMHO. Nice review, thank you.

Man you are awesome ❤ awesome beautiful playing 🎸 ❤ 🔥 🔥 🔥

That looks fantastic especially at this price Its unbelievable ! I really hope you feel better ! Fantastic playing!

Sounds fricken phenominal. I’m weirdly starting to love ceramic strata pups, something about that round smooth top end is “the sound” for me

Awesome beautiful playing, great sounding guitar, hope you get cured and, Cancer free God bless 🎸 ❤ 🔥
