Firefly's are attractive for the price. But understand that they are not Squiers and you are gambling that yours will never have a real problem.
Personally, I would avoid the lowest end of the Squier line. During the pandemic, I bought three Squiers (two Mustang Bullets and a mini Strat) and returned them all: one had a dead output jack, another arrived with a 1 inch chip to its finish, and another had a twisted neck. I bought one Firefly 338 -- spalted maple with a green burst. The guitar arrived perfect. I expected the pickups on the Firefly to sound terrible, but they were fine--not awesome, but good enough to be impressive for the price. It was light, but was thicker and larger than I preferred. I kept it for a year, and traded it at Guitar Center during the pandemic for more than I paid for it. At the time, Firefly Guitars would sell out online. Nowadays, I would not be able to get such a good trade price.
I have played with various Squier Classic Vibes series at Guitar Center and have been impressed. Like the Firefly (or a Harley Benton), it's pretty common for these inexpensive guitars to need a bit of attention and adjustment to get them playing really good.
Speaking of Harley Benton -- cyberweek sales are now ongoing at their online store: thomannmusic.com [thomannmusic.com]
Firefly has added two more guitar styles since the original posting: an explorer-style and a flying v., both $189.91 down from $239.91 ---> https://guitarsgarden.c
