Harley Benton Fusion-III HSH LH Roasted FNT

Hi all. This is my first purchase and review on this site.

Let's start.

Features:

Pros: HSH, pickup cutoff, two-bearing tremolo, local pegs, shielding, high-quality wiring of the tone block, steel frets (treated, do not catch the skin of the fingers) matte neck (playing speed, the hand slides better on the neck), beveled neck heel (facilitates access to the upper frets).

Cons: no individual pickup cutoff (for me personally). Perhaps for some this is not considered a disadvantage. But for the presence of the cutoff option, I see no reason to take a point.

Sound:

Pros: No noisy pickups, average standard guitar sound, neither bad nor good. Suitable for recording, playing, learning, concerts.

Cons: At the cutoff of the pickup, the signal level drops sharply, so you have to warm them up with a screamer or change the pickups to more powerful ones.

Quality:

Pros:

For this price (for left-handers) it will be difficult to find an instrument whose neck is made of burnt wavy maple (matte finish), which has at its disposal an HSH-type pickup layout with a cut-off option.
Just as I said above, there are also: a two-support tremolo, local pegs, shielding, high-quality wiring of the tone block, steel frets and a beveled neck heel.

Minuses:

In my case, the screening is of poor quality (there are places that need to be completed), the neck pickup is very skewed (it stands unevenly), the wavy maple pattern is not very pronounced (in particular, on the fretboard).

In general, the guitar is worth the money, although in my case it requires some upgrade or elimination of the above problems. And this is not a custom shop to find fault with quality, for a series, very good instruments.

Thank you for your attention!
