Firefly FFLP P90 Electric Guitar

This is a hands-on review and video demo of the Firefly FFLP P90 in Pelham blue — a Les Paul-style electric guitar with P90 pickups for under $200. In this post, you’ll see what makes this budget-friendly guitar so interesting, hear how the P90s sound in the full video demo, and get my honest take on what it delivers for the price.

Why I made this demo

Hey everyone, I’m really excited to finally share my latest video with you all, “The color I always wanted (and more!) – Firefly FFLP P90 electric guitar.” This one’s been brewing for a while, and I’m so thrilled with how it turned out. As you know, I’m a big fan of guitars with a bit of personality, and the Firefly FFLP P90 in that incredible color? Well, it just spoke to me. I knew I had to make a video diving into everything that makes this guitar so special, and hopefully, I’ve managed to capture that excitement in the final cut.

In this video, I really wanted to highlight what makes the Firefly such an interesting instrument, especially when you compare it to some of the classic guitars out there, like Epiphones and Gibsons. It’s no secret that it borrows some design cues from those legends, and I wanted to explore that in detail. I made sure to point out features like that comfortable access heel joint because, for me, playability is key. But beyond just being a nod to the classics, I was also blown away by the modern touches Firefly added, like those stainless steel frets. Seriously, stainless steel frets at this price point? I think that’s a huge deal and something I really wanted to emphasize in the video.

Ultimately, my goal with this video was to share my genuine enthusiasm for this guitar and hopefully give you a good look at why I think it’s so cool. It really does feel like this guitar is ticking off a lot of boxes for players, and I wanted to create a video that reflects that. If you’ve been curious about the Firefly FFLP P90 or just love a good guitar deep dive, I really hope you’ll check out my video. Let me know what you think in the comments – I always love hearing your feedback!

Attempting to fix a lacquer chip on a Gibson Les Paul Custom

So, you get a new guitar and notice there’s a chip in the lacquer. But it’s not just any chip, as ones over the wood aren’t too hard to cover. This one is over the binding. And, on a guitar with an aged lacquer, that stark white binding underneath stands out like a sore thumb. What to do? Well, here’s how I attempted it.

This is not meant to be a tutorial- it’s simply a log of the process I used to get this one closer to “original” looking. I don’t do this on guitars I’ve had for a long time – those are going to look used over time and it will be “natural” wear. But I knew this new guitar had this issue going into it and figured I’d give it a shot to look as close to new again. I think it came out pretty good! Check out the video below for the process:
