[@kaipolidori9979]

Watching this a year later, it’s cool to see how the company probably took your advice. The newer fusion T comes with HAF pickups, and they just released a black one with emgs for $399

[@kristu]

Must say your guitar rewievs are among the most thorough and high quality that I’ve ever seen.

[@MaxSoloMusic]

Thanks!

[@rjeff753]

I installed a Seymour Duncan JB TB4 and what a difference it made in over all tone. Really woke this guitar up. I will also add that it is an extremely comfortable and pleasant guitar to play. Stays in tune very well.

[@MaxSoloMusic]

Right, even though there's no bevel for the right hand. There's no tremolo arm and knobs are far enough. I found myself practicing on this guitar more than on any other. Wanted to mention that in the video and completely forgotten

[@JaymeSilverstein]

I plan on putting SD Antiquities in mine! Can’t wait for part 3!

[@Novembrine616]

Your reviews have become my favorite in all KZbin. Excited to see part 3!

[@MaxSoloMusic]

Glad you like them!

[@Bmanhaas]

I generally don’t get exited by gear review videos but Max, your is the exception. The best analyst.

[@KimmeU]

I would be thrilled to see any mods to an Harley Benton guitar to increase the tonal abilities of these guitars.

[@MaxSoloMusic]

Nice :) I was planning to mod it anyway, might as well do it on camera

[@kilonsami8307]

@@MaxSoloMusic that would be awesome! I've been thinking of this model for a mod platform but was held off because of that switch placement. Now that that's fixed it seems like a great choice. Would very much like to see you pimp it up!

[@gregorwalton]

My plan is to add SD P-Rails, drill two extra holes into the control cavity, change the switch to a Freeway 3B3 6-way switch, add two 4-way rotary switches (one for each pickup) to select P90/Rail/Series/Parallel. Then change the pots to master volume and master tone, with a push-push switch on the tone pot for bass cut. That amount of wiring should balance out that neck dive! Or maybe I'll just change the pickups to Iron Gear Blues Engines

[@harlequin5817]

Hey Max, I love the suggestion of upgrading this guitar with each of the mods you suggested. Perhaps a before and after would be appropriate too. Great work mate. 🇦🇺

[@THEFEEL57]

Hey thanks for a great in depth review on the harley fusion. Enjoyed our time together. Good show.!!!×

[@sentinelle11]

Thank's perfect review! no blabla! I dream this model with good P90 pick up!!

I have to say, you have the best guitar reviews on YT, hands down. Keep it up!

[@2bikemikesguitartopics145]

Max I found you searching for background on fusion T. I know this is old now, but, looks like HB has done some of the issues you identified. I've ordered mine and waiting. I will mod it. You gave me the idea to go 5way super switch. It will be my first super switch mod, plus I'll have additional volume made independent with push/pull as well. This scheme will provide 11 coil combinations. I spent all day yesterday working it and drawing it up. Liked your review and I've subbed. Part 3 didn't make out. I thought you were going to mod it.

[@basedhound]

I just discovered your channel, amazing job you're doing here, really pleasant to listen to. And now i'm waiting for part 3 aswell ! Greetings from France

The PUs are so-so if you play at home with a domestic

[@MaxSoloMusic]

Thanks! Love the feedback. I didn't run into the sticky neck problem, well we didn't exactly have too many gigs this year. My plan is to check a couple of Bentons next time we're allowed to go on stage though. I wonder if those necks are produced the same way as what we see on Ibanez guitars.

[@KimmeU]

Agufish m.kzbin.info He has solved the neck problem with Harley Benton as he polishes the neck on any of his Benton guitars.

[@MaxSoloMusic]

@@KimmeU yeah, I remember Hunter mentioned that

[@rayporter4851]

@@MaxSoloMusic Not sure. The Ibanez SMol neck is also natural wood but doesn't feel greasy as this after 1h playing.This fingerboard and neck-back gets dirty quick.

[@rayporter4851]

Same here. It is a beauty but...playing under 30° it becomes greasy as hell.I have to clean it with a towel every 20min. The control buttons also are on the cheap side and failed on me.I had to change all electronics and pots

[@ajwernert21]

You are such a pro it's unreal. Thank you for your efforts.

[@dennyclosser8456]

Great job! It was a very informative video. I was looking at the Fusion one or the two for moding. Also great idea with the super switch an additional push pull pot.

[@BazonBlades]

As a YT content creator I have to applaud your work on this two part review. I couldn't imagine doing this detailed of a review. Very good work. You have earned a new sub. I found you while looking for reviews on this specific HB Fusion T. I was researching before pulling the trigger on this model and you have single handedly given me every bit of information I need to be an educated buyer. I think I will try one of these Fusion T's. I am thinking a JB/Jazz, JB/'59 pickup swap would be just right. Or maybe an EMG setup with an 85 in the bridge and a 60a in the neck. I love the 85 in the bridge position.

[@MaxSoloMusic]

Thanks! I'm glad to hear it was helpful

[@1985JBlack]

i wish they had a black or white fusion-t with active pickups and jumbo frets. i would buy it immediately

[@robertclarkguitar]

I will give my final review soon. Still loving it so far. I actually love the pups. But I'm used to strats mainly.

[@robertclarkguitar]

Excellent deep review. I'm no pro...haahaha

[@hessianpeel2975]

[@thematsc]

Topp quality rewiev (as always from you :-) Thanks Max!

[@MaxSoloMusic]

Thanks!

[@ssbdifferent1]

Hey Max- you had mentioned a part 3- moding- guess it slipped through the cracks? I have is a series 1 Fusion T (strait 3-way switch). Thinking of going with some slightly hotter pickups and better tone & volume pots and replace the jack. All on a budget of course. Anyway was looking forward to seeing your mods. And yes thank you for your dedication and details in all your videos!

[@MaxSoloMusic]

Hey. Yeah, there were so many other videos I wanted to make first. That is still on my mind though and I have some pickups ready to go. So, I'm hoping to get to those experiments sooner or later

[@clarsisk4751]

Thanks for this

[@rokstar1112]

I have found that all high output pickups sound virtually the same. I have moved to medium/low output pickups as to my ears, they work much better with effects and express a better sound. I am still waiting for my Fusion T but I confess that I am pleasantly intrigued with the "darker" sounding Roswells. If there is one thing a Telecaster DOESN'T need, it is more high end LOL.. besides, there is this little dial on my amp labeled "treble".. maybe that might help? LOL Cheers and keep up the great work. Love the channel :)

[@MaxSoloMusic]

Thanks Owen!

[@jurepecnik9054]

We are still kinda waiting for the part 3 :D

[@bullyakker]

I have the fusion 3 tele HB-HB with tremolo in freaking sparkle silver... (not my thing but I fell for the thing!) Well, I swapped out the electronics, used dual coil taps and GFS-EVH pickups. WOW!! She came to life on the rock front but also in single coil modes. She sounds like a true tele yet can rock as well! LOVING this glitter-fest of a guitar! The added mid range from the GFS-EVH pickups makes it jump out and in single coil, it sounds very close to a true tele. Cheers!

[@nsplay8494]

You make really nice and useful videos

[@MaxSoloMusic]

Thanks!

[@coffeest]

I'm still waiting for Part three! I am on the fence for this guitar with tremolo. I have an Angus Young signature humbucker laying around together with a Gibson PAF+. But I want to hear how your changes to the guitar change the sound of it! :)

[@rodolfoamaralguitar]

1:55 it would be great if they round off the contact between the strings and plate edge. This prevents strings breaking and tuning issues.

[@MaxSoloMusic]

Good point! That's definitely a weak spot right there! I wonder if the original Hipshot bridge is the same or rounded

[@davidhdolan]

The Cort looks and sounds great.

[@semyonboyk0]

Completely agree on stock Roswells. I could only use them with low cut EQ first in the chain, otherwise it was a total mud fest.

[@MaxSoloMusic]

Mud fest? :) Sounds like fun 😂

[@Oscarhobbit]

Hi Max big hello from Northern Ireland, UK. I am interested in this guitar. I found Wilkinson pickups when I was looking for a pair of hotter pickups for a cheap LP copy I had laying around and the sustainability they produce is amazing. Wilkinson pickups are not expensive pickups and may be in the price range of many people looking at this video. I would love you to please do something on Wilkson pickups on another review. I bought 3 Vintage V100 guitars when I heard how the Wilkinson pickups sounded.

[@budgetracing3425]

I put in a set of DiMarzio EJ Customs, still get great bell like cleans and good distortion tones.

[@MaxSoloMusic]

Awesome! I want to try at least 2-3 different sets

[@ErebosGR]

I agree, the EJ Customs should be a good fit with the guitar since they are very bright and chimey.

[@suvinny]

waiting for part 3 :D

[@MaxSoloMusic]

Me too!

[@Leo_ofRedKeep]

I think the Roswell HAF vs LAF demo needs its own video, even before swapping them. The Fusion II comes with both, the uncovered HAF are clear, "sharp" and the covered LAF are "soft" or "warm", as one is used to expect from PAFs humbuckers in old Gibsons. The covers themselves don't do much for that but they pass on the visual message so buyers can make a conscious choice. There should be no surprise. The LAF have been in all the SC models (except one, the SC-550 Paradise Flame with HAF) and in the semi-hollow CST-24HB. They are also in the 22 fret Fusions while the sharp HAF are in the modern, 24 frets models.

[@ErebosGR]

I wish Harley Benton had chosen the Roswell PV3 instead of the LAF for their LP-style models. The older Harley Benton SC models with Wilkinson pickups were so much brighter, livelier and less compressed.

[@wm1573]

@@ErebosGR it's so funny reading people talk about pups. There's never an universal answer. Ive heard that the Roswell's are too bright, too muddy, too quiet, too loud. People have so different ears and taste

That Cort is a beast. Better than all other budget LP copies you can get.

[@MaxSoloMusic]

I agree!

[@paulmarshall2007]

Excellent and thorough reviews. I’d be very interested to see you review some PRS (say the Custom SE) and to compare them against the Harley Benton version.

[@OnTheFritz602]

Just ordered one of these 12/30/21, and hope the set-up and shipping is going to decent, since it's the Holiday Season and people want to get the hell out of work! Have pick-ups in mind because I've heard other reports of these being rather low output. Happy New Year!

[@OnTheFritz602]

Received the guitar last Thursday. At first blown away by the neck, the frets, and looking things over. Then I discovered a blem in the veneer (not the finish, perfect) by the neck pick-up. Thought no big deal. Then noticed the strings are not centered. High E string very close to the edge of the fretboard, while you can see a big difference in the low E. The Pick-ups were also moved as far in the cavity as possible, and still don't align. Bridge is obviously off. In the US. Not sure what to do. Shipping is a bitch, and I could drill/plug the screw holes to properly align. Pretty bummed out right now. Will try to contact them tomorrow.

[@stephanematis]

HAF vs PAF, neat. I would likely try Seymour Duncan SH-2n and SH-4 JB, but I guess I am a bit traditional on this front. And I have a set lurking here somewhere. Though upon reflection, I think Bare Knuckles would rock, likely True Grit for that middle of the road and versatile. Brute Force perhaps, Juggernaut and Ragnarok are likely overboard.

[@leesbassment6393]

Super switch mod, yes please. As I mentioned when we spoke, I'm building a tele with two mini rail humbuckers, and would like as much versatility out of it as possible.

[@MaxSoloMusic]

Yeah, that's the plan :)

[@tomwahl7838]

Cool review.

[@MaxSoloMusic]

Thanks!

[@austinfailz]

The idea of importing a Harley Benton guitar from Europe to the USA is kind of a hang up point (ie, will it go smoothly? will there be any major hiccups along the way?), but this video has me tempted to look at some of their line.

[@robertclarkguitar]

I love the stock pups.

[@MaxSoloMusic]

Wow! Just as I expected - some may like them. Surprises me every time though :)

[@robertclarkguitar]

Hey Maxsolo! Its been a while. Wanted to update my mindset over the few years. Its been a keeper 1rst and foremost. But the cavity on mine isnt shielded like yours but i have no issues with grounding and mine is the HH FNT with the wilkenson trem. The only issue i have had is at times the bridge humbucker seems to lose power as it sounds lower volume but if i wiggle the switch comes back but it still splits so its not likely the coil splitting when engaging. Very strange i say. But its been working ok lately. Ill put a new switch in one day. I wish i had opted for the ST super strat style is all. I mentioned LOVING the pickups. Well, I still do but a bit more guitars have graced my hands and they are Not the best. So i know youve had way more experince. Thanks again. ❤🎉​@MaxSoloMusic

[@robertclarkguitar]

Mine is seemingly painted in the cavity like the color of the guitar but not poly over it leaving it like a non gloss flat in the cavity. 😮 lol

[@darkman6092]

Hits more closely to the Les Paul guitar sound. Sounds good, I am a lefty and purchased two one in black and one in natural flame roasted and love them both, of the two however I lean a bit more to the black HT.

[@budgetracing3425]

Love the details! Also would love to see mods to this guitar!

[@philippelefebure3579]

Hi Max, excellent and extremely detailed review, thanks! I have this guitar on my wish list for quite a while. In fact I am looking for a lightweight Telly with a neck humbucker and that one seems to fit the bill. I play mostly jazz, though, and I would probably swap the neck with something more jazz oriented and use thicker gauge strings. Do you think the guitar is versatile enough to produce a decent jazz tone?

[@GodblessOsei]

Kindly try a seymour duncan pickup on this fusion T. Thank you

[@ju2705s]

Cool idea to test the guitar with the haf humbuckers 👍👍👍

Haha! I have P-Rails! But only for the neck. Still need to get myself a freeway switch though

[@danielbluez]

Neck is the best position to put it!

[@MaxSoloMusic]

@@danielbluez I have it on two guitars and I figured the final sound depends a lot on where the pickup is located. I mean 22 vs 24 frets. I'm not happy with what it sounds like in my 24 fret guitar

[@danielbluez]

@@MaxSoloMusic That's interesting. I've done a variable split coil (web.archive.org/web/20160118011652/www.smitspickups.com/coiltapping.htm ) on a HB SC 550, with a neck dimarzio 36 aniv (sweeet sounding pickup by the way) and the two separate coils sounded different, but good. (Another thing I found out, a split humbucker sounds better with bit of the other coil) Best.

Hi Max. Really good review (as always). Iv'e got one of theese and I realy like it and it is pretty much flawless from the build point of view. I'm not totally happy with the pickups thou, but that is easily fixed. I've got a Roswell P90 neck and bridge, a Tonerider AC4 neck and a few more to try, but as long as they are less microfonic I will be happy. The guitar is very, very good, at least as good as the PRS SE Zach Myers or SE245, but those have better pickups. This, and the TE-20 are the HB to recomend!

[@wilfdixon9654]

Just had a Fusion T HH Flame etc delivered with a pretty blonde effect veneer top. Sadly the strings miss the poles of the bridge pick up and the tone control does not have much effect for most of it's travel. The bridge pick-up sits snugly in it's hole in the body so the hole will have to be enlarged to move the pick-up. Trouble is if I send it back I've got a major problem getting the customs duty back (Duty £64.26, UPS "brokerage" £11.50), if I do not the cost of repair (luthier) takes the guitar out of the budget cost bracket. This is Saturday so I have to wait 'til Monday to talk to Thomann. Just seen the review and wonder how Entwistle Nashville pick-ups would do, they are smaller which may save some woodwork.

[@Guitar_Smasher]

I'm seriously considering a B-stock for $288. That'll be about $350 with shipping. Pickups? Why, Seymour Duncan Whole Lotta Humbuckers with nickel covers for the same price as the guitar, of course!

[@reinhettinga8789]

So... where's the third part of this? Very curious to see which mods you did to this guitar. I bought one today and will try different pickups as I have Gibson 57 Classics, 490's and Seymour Duncan JB/Jazz laying aroundhere. Just curious if you changed the pots to something that works better.

[@markpell8979]

Fusion T is way more Les than Strat. Better bridge pickup is all it needs. I like LPs but I could make this HB tele do what I want.

nice review! What is the exact measurement of the neck please? in mm or in inch? Thanks!

[@dogfalcon]

SD Jazz/JB combo or Dim AirNorton/ToneZone. I think it is a big plus; a start point to have a fair comparison as the market has already a lot of this pickups combination in various brands. So we could concentrate on see how this guitars actually sounds and "feels".

[@MaxSoloMusic]

I still need to find the SD somewhere. I had a couple of guitars with them but they're all gone

Comparing the sound of that Cort and the HB it really is a shame that HB can't get a better pickup company to work with. Everyone always says they aren't very good. That Cort sounds awesome.

Ok, I can imagine those are gonna be pretty hard to get. Anyone has a contact at Suhr? :)

[@stephanematis]

Still working on a part 3 Max ? If yes, my crazy mind says Seymour Duncan P-Rails in this guitar would be cool. Sadly, the neck pickup on your early version would not have the space for the pickup rings, and the Seymour Duncan triple switch rings would be ideal. What is odd is that the all black or green tremolo and the green non-trem have pickups rings, which implies the spacing isn't the same, yet the natural tremolo and this model show pictures (on Thomann) of the pickup being right up to the neck. Odd. BTW, I would also add the HP42 for beginners. Henning basically chose a setup for students IMO.

[@valueofnothing2487]

You do need both dark and light, though. The darker the pickup, the more you can distort it with less fizz. The lighter the pickup, the better it sounds cleaner. So, it's really a matter of personal taste.

[@ErebosGR]

Fizz is usually handled in post-production EQ. Plus, you can use your tone control. You can't add brightness as easily though.
