Fusion-T HH Roasted FNT : Amazing Instrument

5 years ago

I decided to buy this guitar because I loved the idea of owning an instrument with a roasted maple neck. The rest of the features were also too good to miss.

I was initially not very keen on the finish of the body, but I have changed my mind after seeing the guitar in real life and I love it now. From the pictures on the site and many videos I looked at I thought that the fretboard would be kind of dry and dull but it is actually really nicely finished and has kind of a subtle spark in it when the light falls on it. The neck is smooth and has a nice roasted maple smell to it. The neck is a bit chunky, but in a confortable way. It feels thicker than the one on my Classic Vibe 60s strat.

The hardware is nice and the pickups sound amazing. The whole guitar is very resonant and, I might be wrong, but I think it is the stainless steel frets that seem to give it a beautifully bright tone. That combined with the smoothness of the fretboard make the Fusion-T play like butter. The tremolo works great also and the strings stay in tune nicely.

Sadly, my guitar came with a few imperfections in the finish. I think it is dirt caught in the lacquer. There are a few black spots all around the body. The nut is also a bit poorly cut underneath the G string, causing it to ping when I perform wide vibratos between the 3rd and 5th frets. That's easy to fix and I'll handle it the next time I change the strings. The strings provided are also really nice, by the way.

Overall, the guitar is worth the money and maybe more.
