Fusion-T HH HT EB OCT : Great Guitar for an Amazing Price

5 years ago

I'm very impressed with my new Fusion-T Hardtail. I can probably come up with some minor cons but this is a great "midrange" guitar (normally guitars in the £500 to £1000 price range to my mind) for an excellent price.

Pro

Finish - impeccable, can't find anything substandard

Tuners - the best I've ever used - and locking

Nut - well-cut, no tuning problems

Frets - perfect, no buzzes, smooth ends and actually so high it feels like a scalloped neck to play

Neck Joint - perfectly tight, perfectly finished

Neck Profile - a little deeper than what I would call "Modern C" but I love it.

Neck Finish - nice satin feel

Controls - better placing than in the pictures and the switch is at an angle, as it should be, ideally

Pickups - very good and of a Vintage tone, great for low gain. Very low noise even in single coil mode, great for high gain.

Bridge - just as it should be and gives excellent sustain

Cons

Bridge Pickup could be a bit hotter

Tone Pot could have a little more torque resistance to match the volume

I hope the wood is properly seasoned

That's it. Amazing

After 8 months:

Still a great guitar. Wood was seasoned well, perfectly stable. This is second only (just) to my Gordon Smith, which cost over 3 times as much
