An Affordable Telecaster Style Guitar That is Beautiful and Functional

In this video, I provide a deep dive review of the Firefly FFTL Telecaster style guitar. I discuss, unbox, and dive into every detail of this guitar as well as provide a tone demonstration using the guitar. This is now my second FFTL and I am glad I purchased it. I have been meaning to try a telecaster style guitar and I am glad I did. This guitar really surprised me with it's quality and playability. Please leave a comment and let me know if you have an FFTL and you experience with it.
