Stunning for white
Khora 17.05.2023
Guitar finish: It's like a satin or matte, not gloss but I really love a gloss finish. Before I placed an order, I had chatted with one of Thomann customer services that said it is gloss. Anyways it looks great and stunning in a way that white favorite person will love it.

Guitar neck: Very nice roasted maple neck with stainless steel frets, no fret buzz. The neck and frets tasks are really perfect. No sharp at the end of the frets, but the flame maple isn't so clear.

Guitar Setup: The action is just right to my preference, not too high or too low. but tremolo springs is a little bit too hard.

Guitar Pickup: Decent sounds and enough juice for different music style. I still feel it is not as clear and bright as I expected, compared it with my PRS.

It’s fairly light to carry it for 2 or 3 hours. Playing it for a long time will probably leave a sweat stains on the body. I have another satin finish guitar that leaves sweat stains and It is difficult to remove stains, even using liquid cleaner. That is why I prefer a gloss finish.

Finally, it is a very nice good-looking guitar with very excellent roasted neck and stainless steel frets that makes me feel good when I play it, as well as a good sounding is suitable for different type of music.

What a surprise
Pontus B. 24.01.2023
I could tell of the pictures that this will be a good guitar and so it is. This has now been my main guitar and it has such a good crispy clean sound. Sounds like a Strat. There is enough juice in the hum bucker and this guitar is just another good guitar from Harley Benton. Almost too good to be true!

The Fusion-III series are in the Premium level of quality, regardless of brand
Robert Peterson 25.07.2023
Harley Benton has brought their quality up to yet another level with the Fusion-III guitars. Even better build quality than the Fusion-II and the fret work is on the same level as a Premium series from Ibanez, Jackson or other high end manufacturer...Harley Benton has matched the best of the best on in the art of fret finishing. And this is "out of the box".

I have been a huge fan of Harley Benton the last 4 years and they have never failed to impress me with their level of quality for the price they charge. It's quite incredible.

Solid guitar for an amazing price!
Sterby 11.05.2025
I bought the guitar to have some variety to my old schector guitar with active humbuckers and to have some tremolo.

Pro:
So far the guitar feels and plays great! It keeps the tuning very well and tuning down with that tremolo is far easier than I expected, I just tuned down one full step and if was pretty fast to do, just like on a non-tremoloed guitar.

Con:
The only thing that I struggle with is the sound of the pickups. But thats maybe more on me, since I'm used to high output active humbuckers... I need to find the right amp settings and get used to the different behaviour and sound. So thats actually not really a con, just something I noticed and struggle with.

Overall, a very solid, well made guitar. I will probably swap the pickups, at least the humbucker for something with more output and add some treble bleed, but for that it's a perfect base!

Absolute joy to play on.
insert nickname here 09.01.2025
After playing on cheap guitars for a while now, I decided to step it up a little bit and I'm not disappointed. The humbucker provides a bright tone while the single coils let it sound like a Strat. My only criticism is the finish on the inside near the humbuckers was slightly flawed but it was an easy fix. Would 100% recommend this guitar, it looks, sounds, and feels amazing.

Excellent

This wasn't my first HB, but it lived up to my previous expectations. Above and beyond really.

Harley Benton makes quality guitars for waaaay less than their mainstream competitors. Get one! :P

Fusion III HSS
SixStringWarrior 20.01.2025
Fantastic guitar, just arrived, completed my setup and very, very happy. Lovely neck, frets are great, need fine polishing though, but most guitars need this on first setup. Tuners are great, neck pocket is too. Feels like a high-end instrument. Thoroughly recommend it.
