Fusion-III HSS Roasted SP : Nice guitar with great features, but faced some problems

4 years ago

First about looks. Shell Pink looks fantastic. The mate finish looks great. with only minor tiny flaws here and there. Neck was good, frets nice and polished, would't scratch your hands. On my particular guitar there was only 1 mark of fret polishing on neck finish, but that's fine by me

Range of pickups sounds are great — you can get decent gain sound on bridge and Strat-like clean on the neck at 4-th position. I love it.

Only problem I faced with this fusion in strings action. The lowest action I could get is 2mm on 12th fret of low E. From the box action was even higher. May be it's an issue of only my particular guitar. Guys at the local guitar shop told me they would deepen trem screws holes and slightly alter neck angle to get the action I'm used to — 1.2 to 1.4 mm
