The blue or blonde ones are only $80 delivered. That's amazing for a tele-like guitar. The reviews really surprised me. I thought it must be a piece of garbage for that price, but not so.



63 bucks for this!!!

Hey there, Butch! That’s a smokin’’ amp you have there. Thanks, for the links. Some awesome playing and effects. Looks and sounds like a winner.
Get ready to pick up your Grammy, 8)

I dunno. That’s krazeeeey. :shock: A free return too? I wonder how that poor worker on the line survives making a living? Add the parts and material, shipping, warehousing, marketing , yada yada and throw in some strings. I can see buying this on the street where they’re made, but if this is true, incredible! Unless it’s one of those miniatures some get duped with.

HEADS UP EVERYONE! I decided to take one more step before posting the above. Glad I did. While some is not certain with scams, spoofs, or viruses/malware I found this: https://scamwitness.com/muffeale-com-reviews

Interestingly, as I called the website up I got a junk call from USA which I declined. That may be coincidental since they have randomly from around the world and to everywhere been circulating. Not to worry it didn’t repeat itself.

Is this guitar sale legitimate? Your call.

Moral of this story:
If possible or warranted, check out your store’s location addresses, phone numbers, ownership, payment address, deliveries, taxes, and whatnot (such as website errors or anomalies) before separating from your cash. :wink:

I hope none of our members got burnt.

Whoa... Thanks for the update about that fake website called "muffeale" or something like that. Things like that are seriously too good to be true!

You’re welcome, ButchA. I’m thinkin’ some of these deals go further like the following updated old scheme :

https://www.mnn.com/food/beverages/blog ... -want-take

The way I see this playing out is some cheap guitar makes it to a legitimate buyer who gives an honest review and, perhaps, recommends it innocently.

Hey! He or she got one and it looks like a great deal with the shipping and all. It must be good for me right? Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe it will be a switch or nothing at all. Maybe, you’ll refrain and miss out on a good thing. Who’s to say?

My extensive mail order for everything from yo-yos to Sea Monkeys, and later stereo and my first computer gear, was great training.

The rich take risks all the time. They can afford it.

But, never say never. There’s a lot of cool stuff out there. However, even amongst that lot, there are winners and losers. :wink:

Tip:
Some payment arrangements will give you some assurance and insurance against a bad purchase.

those firefly guitars are also available thru amazon. there is also a line from monoprice (see the post above) guitars on called indio on amazon for 99 bucks. not endorsing and don't have one, but ordering from amazon might make it easier to return if you have some issues.

there are plenty of youtube videos on them. your call.

Screaming deal there, Mike.
I’m good to go in that arena though, However, for others here’s a look inside:

Good call on the Amazon / Firefly relationship Phreddy Bee.

Note: Looks like an updated change with your link, Mike. Right got now it's an Epiphone acoustic deal likely to change,

I bought an M-Audio midi keyboard. Small but effective for recording.
