Bought a black Squier for ~$300 from Amazon's warehouse returns, sold it for ~$800 because the money was too good, then regretted it. Just recently picked this up.

$169.91 Firefly FFJA Baritone, which is more or less a copy of the SubZero Rogue VI, which was a copy of the Squier. The white ones are sold out, but they still have a sunburst/rosewood vertsion at the same price


Humbuckers instead of Jazzmaster pickups, but they have a string-through hardtail bridge instead of that terrible one the Squiers had. For under $200 shipped to my door it fills that hole in the collection nicely. It's also different enough from my other Baritones to justify it!

I've seen that Firefly model and it looks good. You think it's better than the Subzero?

Better? Can't really say, never touched a SubZero. I know I like the normal hardtail bridge more than the Tune-o-Matic/string through the Subzero has. I've also had good luck with previous Firefly stuff. It does need heavier strings, comes with 12-52s and should really be 14-68s at a minimum
