Harley Benton Fusion-T EMG HT Roasted SBK

The hype is true, awesome guitar

What can I say? I have 0 complaints from this guitar and at this price point it exceeds all my expectations. If I compare the fretwork of this guitar with a more expensive PRS, the Harley Benton wins by far. Of course the finish is a simple mate black, but simplicity makes this guitar awesome. The tuners are solid, the guitar stays in tune quite well, no issues with the finish or the wood work. I only had to do a small intonation adjustment, but the height of the strings was in a sweet spot already. Sound wise, it is very good for high gain sounds as expected, with lots of treble and nice definition. I use it mainly to play progressive metal but my impression is that it can do also classic rock as well since the retro active EMG pickups are not as compressed as the traditional 81/85 set. Perhaps the only thing is that since the tuners are so solid the guitar suffers a bit from neck dive but nothing than a good leather neck can’t help. All in all, great instrument.

Really Happy

Very impressed with this guitar, my first one thats not like a bottom of the range cheap beginner guitar and I can really tell the difference. Made me realise I might actually be a but better than I thought

exceeded my expectations! but theres some stuff need taking care of...

well its pretty much what I expected... in my opinion the neck is the most stunning thing about this guitar even though i'm used to playing a thin neck, overall everything feels solid I was a little underwhelmed by the pickups, in distortion mode they are phenomenal but in the cleans the bridge is way too bright and distorted, in the neck pickup, cleans sound bright yet with a deep and rich sound to them... the build quality was top notch I was kinda worried about that but it turned out great, also the delivery was way quicker than they said which i'm thankful for... the guitar does require some setup to it which is not ideal for beginners and for the people this guitar is targeting despite that i still think its worth the money and the "minuses" it has and there arent many at all.

What a tele!!

Solid, resonant, snappy tele sound! Add EMGs to the mix- sooooo chuggy-chuggy good!!I I play metal and this beast does not disappoint.

Excitement turned to frustration

I purchased this guitar after doing a ton of homework. I read reviews, watched videos on YouTube, searched on Reddit prior to making the investment.

Shipping was fast and the package was in tact. This guitar is absolutely stunning. Fret job was great. Neck feels comfortable.

After a week of playing the guitar the toggle switch stopped working. Had that replaced. Then, my neck pickup started buzzing. Had to have that replaced, and now, I’ll have to replace the input jack.

I would’ve returned or exchanged this guitar if it weren’t for shipping costs. I love this guitar but the electronic components have been a nightmare. Had I known it would need so many parts replaced, I would’ve been better off purchasing a more expensive guitar elsewhere. Buyer beware.

Great guitar for the price

Love the guitar, does need some tlc to round the edges off but will probably do that over time just by playing it. It looks great and sounds amazing..

Fantastic guitar

I finally decided to check out Harley Benton and I was blown away. The spec on this thing does not match the price point, you get a lot of bang for your buck! Will be getting more of their guitars!

Slowly becoming my favourite axe

Really love the sound of the retro active hot 70s.

The neck is absolutely lovely. The modern C is something I never thought it would like but honestly, it's great.

The body feels a little light compared to the neck so it has a little neck dive. But it's not aggressively neck heavy.

It came almost perfectly in tune shipping all the way from Germany to the UK. Never had that experience before which is crazy.

The only issues I have with apart from the slight neck dive I mentioned earlier were the cosmetic blemishes. But they actually work in a way. However, there are big blobs of glue around the material that covers the pickups but obviously that's more to do with EMG than Harley Benton.

All in all though, I'm really happy with this purchase ☺️

Well done HB, amazing guitar!

I was looking for a new guitar with these or similar specs and I came across this beauty from Harley Benton and decided to take a chance. Just WOW!

Some very minor issues but nothing serious (I mean yeah come on, it's not a custom made 3.000 euro guitar). It plays like a beast! Great sound, very nice neck, fretwork is amazingly done, you can't go wrong with this one. And a killer price as well! If it had a big brandname on the headstock, it could easily cost three times as much.

Look no further, if you like what you see just go for it!

Superb

Fantastic quality for the price paid, beautiful neck and overall finish. Excellent sound from the EMG pickups.

Very comfortable to play.

Highly recommended!
