Sound of neck rubbing must be mandatory in reviews 😁

I prefer HH because of most important factor - color.

You can still get the hsh in that color tho

Hi Max, I have the HH FR and believe me, I get all the Strat sounds I need to play classic 70s ,80s metal/rock. I do have a Jackson Dinky with the HSH pickup set and you can really notice the difference. I truly love this Fusion,and now considering the CST 24T. Thanks for this wonderful review and I highly recommend Harley Benton Guitars!

@MaxSoloMusic 3 года назад

Hey. I do believe you. I took both HSH and HH Fusion to the only gig I had this year and they performed well. As you said, all needed Strat sounds were there :)

@davidneily8466 3 года назад

Best comparison I've seen yet. Question though: Did you show just the single-coil neck position sound on the HH? Maybe I missed it.

@mountainman8775 4 года назад

Thanks so much for these comparisons! My two cents worth: though the hsh has more variety, the hh tones are fuller and more usable and much closer to the American strat you were A-B-ing in your first video... love the 3 way coil-split idea

@jdj62464 4 года назад

YES, please do a video on the Harley Benton Fusion HH Roasted Maple 22 Fret Neck. The HB Fusion HSH really needs to come with a Roasted Maple Neck and Fretboard with a Floyd Rose. But even if it doesn't at the great price for the HH MN FR adding a middle Single Coil like a DiMarzio Super Distortion is no biggie.

@rickroberts9182 3 года назад

I'm laughing at myself. I kept waiting for the comparison of the HSH with the bridge and neck pickups in both humbucker and single coil variations. The reason is, on my Fusion ll with HSH, I installed an additional toggle switch to activate the bridge pickup in any position. The switch matches the split toggle exactly and looks factory and makes a huge difference to sound choices. I find I use it quite a bit. Nice review.

@davidwilson7042 4 года назад

Thanks Max. I enjoyed the video. The HSH does seem more useful, given that you can get the bell tones that are found on a strat, as well as the standard humbucker tones. Both are quite pretty, though. I think HB's hit a nice stride with their designs, overall. Don't you?

@MaxSoloMusic 4 года назад

In terms of sound - I pick the HSH. But I do miss the Floyd :) Yep, this series of guitars is pretty nice!

Love the wookie bar demo! (that's what my 10 year old son calls the trem arm!) Just been looking for these on Thomann but realise they must have been discontinued for the Fusion III. That blue/roasted maple is gorgeous but 14-18 week wait currently on Thomann, boo!

@MaxSoloMusic 2 года назад

Oh wow, 18 weeks, ouch! Yeah, honestly I don't get the idea of the update to the series III. There might be something going on in the background we're not aware of, like the model might have been moved to another factory or something. Who knows. I like the idea of a switch more then the push-pull option. Specifically because it provides more modding solutions

Hi Max, do you think the roasted maple is worth the 100 euro of diffrence? How is painful to change the string on flyod rose? I never had one....

@MaxSoloMusic 4 года назад

I like roasted maple and for me it's worth a 100$ difference. If you never changed strings on a floyd equipped guitar it may be a bit challenging. Once you develop an approach to it it's fairly easy. As long as you stick to the same string gauge and change strings one by one instead of removing them all at once, it shouldn't require any readjustment

@Yeti.Goose.Creature 4 года назад

The HSH has more tonal variety, but the FSR sounds richer and more powerful. Plus a middle pickup often gets in the way of picking - well, it does for me.

@zerronyx1362 3 года назад

I think youre picking wrong if a middle pickup is getting in the way

@Yeti.Goose.Creature 3 года назад

@@zerronyx1362 Where you pick the string makes a difference to the sound - I pick in the middle! Some pickups have metal covers which cause a popping sound when touched by a pick. I don't have problem with plastic pickup covers.

@Yeti.Goose.Creature 3 года назад

@P Harrell That's an idea. It might be a tad difficult to remove the metal covers of my Brian May guitar as it has Trisonic pickups. :/ I've lowered the middle pickup instead. I need to repair the electronics (yet again), so I'll have a look at removing the covers the next time I take off the pickguard and strings (which I try to avoid as it messes up the knife-edge trem tension settings).

Would help if the HB had the VS100N instead of the cheaper Wilkinson bridge, mine was so unstable that I changed it out, had to make a bit more room in the cavity though, now it’s usable both ways and stays in tune. Got an HH though, but I only need a bridge humbucker anyway, the volume knob gives me all the versatility I need for what I play on that guitar.

I would definitely go for the Floyd Rose version if it had more switching possibilities. At least splitting coils separately should be given. As to HSH guitars, why hasn't the so-called "Gilmour mod" become standard to put bridge and neck together in any position? Too many guitar players complaining of brainache in the face of choice, I suppose.

@algreen1231 3 года назад

I read users feedbacks in Thoman site complaining about smaller size of humbucker holes, so if you want replace the Roswell/Wilkinson/(EMG?) you need routing the standard pickup shape. Is it possible? I watched your Amarok review and the out of axis pickup poles details; IMHO problem is related wrong assembled neck as unlucky buyers commented...

@MaxSoloMusic 3 года назад

I don't think it's the neck. Apparently routings for pickups and for the bridge are not being made at the same time. Pickups cavities are 40x70mm, so any standard sized pickup should fit without any problems
