Fusion-T HH HT Roasted FNT : Outstanding guitar at this price point

5 years ago

I ordered this to be shipped to Sydney, Australia (along with another guitar). It arrived about a week after I placed the order, and in great condition. Here's some more detailed info:

Sound: The sound was excellent. I didn't want really hot humbuckers, which I've heard some people use against this guitar. It's not a metal guitar, the humbuckers are meant to be more nuanced. The Single coil sounds were tele-like, but not crisp enough to compete with a real tele (even a squier). But if you were deciding to only take one guitar to a gig, this could generate some decent single-coil sounds, just not the same twang you'll get from a real tele.

Feel: The frets are definitely bigger than medium jumbo. They feel great (being stainless steel), but they're bulky. Probably Jumbo frets. That's not really my thing, but it might be yours. The fret ends were smooth to the top of the neck (which is nice and thin with a comfortable satin finish), but there was fret-buzz in a couple of places between the 14-18th frets that required some levelling.

Appearance: the roasted maple neck is special. Combined with the roasted maple fretboard and the flame-maple top, all round it's a good looking guitar. Subjective, but my opinion matters enough that you've read this much of my review!
