Fusion-III HSH Roasted FNT : Amazing value

I've had excellent experiences with HB products in the past so felt confident going for this and have not been disappointed. The overall appearance is exactly as pictured on the website and the quality of the workmanship is way beyond what would be normally be expected at this price bracket.

Out of the box, the setup felt good with a low action and the trem nicely balanced. Frets have all been dressed well with no rough edges anywhere. The contouring of the body and neck joint are excellent making it feel really comfortable to play as is the roasted neck which feels fantastic. The sound is strong offering a lot of well balanced options.

The only slight issues are that tuning is not great when using the trem for any more than very subtle actions (possibly a smoother nut may resolve this, or fewer windings on the locking machine heads) and there are one or two very minor blemishes in the finish. Given the price, these are barely worth mentioning.

Overall, this is a great buy that reinforces the reputation of the brand.
