Fusion-T HH HT Roasted FNT : What to say...

4 years ago

Firstly the features are wicked, so big plus. Secondly there's ample scope to mod.

Cons - as stock it needs a few mods to make it a serious pro axe. Problems I found were 1 terrible pickups just did not sit well with any amp or pedal I don't know if my ones were a bit shoddy but I replaced them in 2 weeks.

2, mine needed a serious fret polish n wood oiling.

3 grain was dull on body veneer with little figuring but fretboard flame is nice shame about neck.

So what can be done to improve this? Well a few purchases from Fender will help. Namely a 500k tonesaver attached to volume a TBX in tone position (why do they not put tbx in every guitar is beyond me????) as the split coil on the Roswell was beyond a joke with insufficient tone.

I contemplated adding a kill switch (there's plenty of room in the control cavity) but not desired yet.

As for pick ups if you can afford Seymour Duncan the buy a perpetual Burn or 59/Custom with Alnico Pro II, if you can afford DiMarzio PAF pro and 36th Anniversary PAF if you can't afford those go to Tonerider and get Alnico 4 bridge and Alnico 2 neck. I've experienced all of these and experienced various pups in this guitar and others. The only combo that didn't work as well as I expected was dimarzio Air classics (sound great in my other guitars).

Currently running it with Irongear blues engine bridge and tonerider Birmingham in the neck.. sounds ok blues engine sounded the boss in my Kramer Baretta.

Over all get what you want make a few mods and turn this good axe into a great guitar that will see you from bedroom to stage
