Harley Benton Fusion T HH - Like A Telecaster Only Better!

[@atonuroypodder2996]

best guitars at best prices. Not only guitars, any instruments. And they provide as they promise. Harley Benton is literally musicians heaven. And i badly need an electric for my band. Thank you

[@atonuroypodder2996]

Yup. Still dont have one. :/

[@jwguitar]

They new Harley Benton Fusion guitars really look fabulous. I believe they are manufactured by Cort in Indonesia which would make a lot of sense since they are one of the best factories out there right now.

[@addictedtogear]

Could not have said it better myself!

[@stuartmiller7419]

I bought the HT version of this, recently. It's excellent and, for the quality/price ratio, pretty unbeatable, imo. It looks fabulous, also.

[@addictedtogear]

I agree! Can go wrong with one of these.

[@robertwhyte3435]

Maybe they don't countersink that cover because people leave them off. Or, maybe they're just cutting a corner... And thank you, thank you, thank you for playing it unplugged!

[@syncro16se]

Thanks for the video 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟 I have the Fusion 2 pro HSH bengal burst since a couple of weeks and it is an absolutely wonderful instrumemt. The feel of the neck, the radius, the stainless steel frets. I did some setup operations, as I feel you need to do to get to know yoir instrument and to really get to own it ! I lowered the string height as far as possible, discovered a slight buzz on the 16th fret on the g string, polished all frets and adjusted the compromised one, this was a very small height difference. I am amazed at the total package. Truss rod adjustment (which I haven't needed to adjust) is easily accessible if needed, a technical point that shows someone has thought everything through. The tuners are great and stable, the nut is perfect, the roasted maple neck and fretboard is stunning to look at and has a fantastic feel to hold. The bengal burst finish and the black backside of the guitar is strikingly beautiful. Pickups sound great, I feel no need to replace them at all. A great variety of unique sounds can be achieved. I could go on and on, but don't have enough time right now. Oh, and I forgot, the Wilkinson bridge is the best I have had on any guitar. Great construction with good adjustment hex screws for intonation string height and locking. No sharp edges.

[@aroomwithavu3861]

Hi! I've been trying to decide between this guitar and the G&L Tribute ASAT Deluxe. You're the only channel that has done a review of both so I wanted to get your opinion. Which one do you like more and why?

[@leftymadrid]

You know I just ordered one in a lefty!!! Thomann will hopefully be sending packages soon once this virus gets under control as they have stopped for now. I just glad that I made the order even if it takes a while, at least it is "reserved" and I feel good about that! Something to look forward to in these crazy times... (hooray another guitar a coming) :-) :-) I will say this much, I have been playing the FUSION 2 HSH stainless steel frets, with a toasted neck and locking tuners, also a lefty and love it!!! It's a fantastic guitar for sure!!!!! I just HAD to get the order done today, when I saw you showing the black FUSION-T version a few days ago, man it looks beautiful!!! I'm sure it will sound great!!! Can't wait to get mine in a lefthander version, I will be totally looking forward to receiving this one!! Let's hope we can survive this crazy ordeal and actually be able to play the darn thing lol. I seriously have to stop getting any more guitars, I now will have 6-guitars!!! This should be my LAST guitar that I will order... Although I do order ALL my equipment and music necessities from Thomann still as they really are great!!! Playing a BLACKSTAR tube amp and the FUSION 2 pro HSH is like a dream!! Thank God that I can at least play and write music, with this "LOCK-IN" here in Spain it's getting pretty scary my friend... You take good care ya hear!!!!

[@iandope]

hows the guitar? thinking of getting 1 lefty too for metal drop a/b tuning.

[@leftymadrid]

@@iandope I ended up cancelling the order, and used the money for a computer and WAV software to begin recording... Money was tight so... But many people who have got it really liked it. If you're a lefty, we both know how hard it is to get a nice dependable guitar. Don't think twice on it. Also keep in mind the fusion strat ll !! But the blk tele fusion is a beauty!!

[@iandope]

@@leftymadrid oh man. im so sorry to hear. yes it is indeed hard to get a proper lefty. i got 1 affinity tele and 1 ltd ec256 and looking to add 1 more for metal playing. im definitely getting this one. hope everything is ok over there. our country had just lifted the lockdown despite still having one of the highest cases in South East Asia. 😅

[@Zsolto66]

What a lovely guitar, thanks for the detailed video. John at QC did miss something, the B string is not in the groove of the string tree but squeezed between the trunk and the roller. A small thing, really. I only wish HB offered pick guards for these models. Thanks again, ATG! Zs

[@donald-parker]

Another great feature of the truss rod adjustment wheel - you will never strip it. It can happen with Allen keys. And unless I missed it, you did not mention the push/pull tone knob that gives you single coil sounds. BTW - "compensated saddles" are called staggered height tuners where I come from. Which should really mean you don't need that string tree at all. I would try popping out the strings from under that string tree, and once you retune, if you have no sound issues like buzzing or loss of sustain, leave it that way (or take the string tree off altogether).

[@addictedtogear]

That is very true. Thanks for the comment!

[@moontheloon1969]

Staggered tuners are tuners on headstock, compensated saddles are on the bridge wherever youre from

[@sing-519]

Does it have a split pick up on the tone knob as well?

[@briandevitt6903]

Very good video. I'm gonna get one when this Virus lockdown passes. I might mod it eventually to fit a couple of P90'S and a Tshell pickguard..........

[@GeorgeStraughn]

Great video and review of this particular Harley Benton, but I'm sure you had more time to plug it in from after opening the the box! Thank you for sharing your views of this guitar! 😎

[@Ray_Here]

Thanks for the review. Also I appreciate your live streams. I’m about to order one of these with the roasted neck. Trying to decide between the hard tail and trem versions. Don’t use a trem much and it seems like the hard tail reduces the chance for tuning issues. Also thinking about trying B stock. Your thoughts on both please? Thanks again. It’s great having someone with expertise to go to with questions.

[@addictedtogear]

Hi, If you feel that you have little need for the tremolo, then the hardtail would be the better option for you. The hardtail also would give you better sustain in my opinion. B stock is great if you want to save a few dollars but you have to live with it once it gets to you should it be less than perfect... Shipping it back would be pretty expensive.

[@Ray_Here]

Thank you!

[@stevenaustin4591]

Dude! That's a gorgeous finish!!!

[@robertclarkguitar]

Killer review man!! Most are pretty much all agreeing these are killer guitars period and not just for the price point. Indeed well done HB!

[@ElJugadorJackieHeart]

The Fusion looks like a very versatile guitar, do you think you can get the twangy tele sound from it?

[@addictedtogear]

Yes but it will always be thicker than an actual tele. You can always split the coils on this model too!

Just had the opportunity to check out a Harley Benton via a friend of a friend as i was interested in getting a 7 string and have to say was amazed at the quality of it... it was a les paul style and cost £110 in the U.K. although it needed setting up, like yours the neck was to straight and had no relief but overall the build and finish was better than some of my more expensive guitars..

[@addictedtogear]

[@addictedtogear]

Joe Mac thanks for watching!

[@PhillipBlanton]

I bought a Harley Benton TE-52 Vintage and am BLOWN AWAY by how nice it is!! The only nit-picky thing wrong with mine is that the string through ferrules on the back side of the guitar are a tiny bit loose in the holes, so they can fall out when you re-string it. A drop of super glue on the side of each one solved it. That won't be an issue though on the one you reviewed because it has a strat-style trem bridge.

[@ReformedJon75]

Love, love, love my te -52, awesome guitar, my absolute favourite at the moment in fact. Good choice,, 😎

Same Roswell LAF as on the green Fusion HH, the SC-450Plus, SC-550, SC-Custom, CST-24HB and a few more models. They attempt at recreating the vintage Gibson PAF sound type.

Thanks all. I was thinking of getting the Fusion HH and the Fusion T HH. But unless you are going to swap the pickups in one like ATG said, it doesn't make sense to own both.

[@Leo_ofRedKeep]

3.6 Kg is fine. Please do tell how level the fretwork is. As you said, stainless steel is hard to fix but I never saw a review criticising this aspect of the Pro line so it seems extra care is given to it. The cheaper Harley Benton with normal frets often require some minor levelling work.

Feeling the vibrations is a sign that energy is lost in the body. The stronger they are felt, the lesser the quality of the guitar. The positive side of this is that it might contribute to some tone character but I never saw a serious study on it.

Interesting. So a body made of concrete would be more resonant that one made of wood???

[@Leo_ofRedKeep]

@@addictedtogear No. Body resonance is a loss. A solid guitar made of concrete would have better sustain and a fuller tone. Fuller means that no frequencies would be attenuated, resulting in a lack of colouration of the sound. There would be more bass and more highs.

[@psi1971]

I just got mine in green and they're terrible neck divers. They just won't sit on your lap when sitting down. Standing up, the headstock acts like a boat anchor even with grippy thick straps. The tuners aren't the problem as I've pulled them off to check and the neck dive still occurs. I put it down to poor design and choice of woods for neck and body. If that's not a problem for you, the rest of the guitar is extremely well built with solid components, cavity shielding, fret finishing etc. What a shame the neck dive ruins the guitar.
