Harley Benton Fusion-T HH Roasted FNT 5-stars Reviews

Harley Benton Fusion-T HH Roasted FNT

Another amazing HB; versatile, excellent sounding and comfortable. Plus it looks killer!!!

Exceptional guitar. Buy it now. Spoken from a professional.

Pros: Easily on par with $900-$1000 guitar range. Flawless neck. Fit and finish is excellent. Roswell pickups are crisp and cut right through. Very easy to dial in a wide variety of rock, jazz, blues, country tones. Action was very playable out of the box.

Cons: One of the the trem claw screw holes was stripped so i replaced both with 2 slightly larger screws (same length). Not a huge issue but it would have become a tuning stability issue down the road. Not worth sending this beautiful guitar back. An easy fix and I'm not a flaw by any means.

What I changed: The trem came with 3 springs and was a bit stiff for me. I like my trems to float and flutter easily like a Floyd - nice and "spongy". I've had several Wilkinson trems and they've all been great. I've had no problem setting these up with 2 springs if you like a similar feel. The bridge saddles are set to be parallel with the guitar which makes the baseplate actually set at a slight angle. I had to lower the saddle height in order to bring the angle of the baseplate parallel. The action on this is incredibly low with zero fret buzz. Incredible. I had people asking to play it who all said the same thing: "Amazing". Bu this guitar now. It is surely one of the best guitar i have ever played and I like my guitars setup a very specific way. It was easy to make some adjustments which is expected. This guitar is nearly perfect except for the screw hole and that is nothing. The cavities were completely clean and groomed well. Seriously - just a beautiful guitar.

Shocked

Received the Guitar, which was in perfect condition and had survived the Journey from Germany to Scotland with no issues.

The build quality and fit and finish is beyond my expectations for a guitar at this price point.

The roasted Maple neck and fingerboard are a joy to play and to look at, superb figuring to neck and fingerboard and again far outweighs its price. Stainless steel frets have been finished impeccably and again at this price point is an astounding feature.

Trem stays in tune well and machine heads do their job well.

Not totally convinced about the pickups yet as have not had a chance to play the guitar at volume through an amp, but they record well in humbucking for split coil mode.

I own a number of high end American made guitars which cost thousands of pounds to buy new and the Harley Benton stands up well against these...I am shocked and more than surprised....this is my first taste of the Harley Benton brand but will most certainly not be my last! A convert for sure!
