Fusion-T HH HT EB BK : It does everything so well

I have 2 Fender Teles but wanted to get into jazz, I didn't want to put 12-50 flatwounds on those guitars so I bought the HB HH HT BK so I could mess with it without breaking the bank if it all went wrong. However, from un-boxing to a micro-inspection, everything looked top quality. I was surprised, even more so when I compared it with the Player Plus Tele I'd bought a few months earlier. They are equal in all practical respects ... except for the price of course. I put on the super-heavy flatwounds and made the required saddles adjustments for intonation and truss rod to get everything back in line. It was already in excellent shape as delivered. The Roswells are quite dark but that's exactly why I bought a humbucker equipped guitar. It is now a jazz Telecaster in all respects and was even accepted by the archtop brigade at the local club as "far better than I'd thought". Of course, for them, only a hollow bodied Gibson would do the job but, in reality, this thing is better, smaller, less noisy (none!) and far more friendly to play. A huge success all round.
