Here for sale we have a Harley Benton Fusion-III HSS Roasted Electric Guitar in Flamed Bengal Burst finish. Made in Indonesia, this guitar consists of a Nyatoh body with an 'Ultra Flame' Flamed Maple Veneer, a Roasted Maple neck, and a 24-fret Roasted Flame Maple fingerboard. Other appointments include a Wilkinson WVS550IIK tremolo, Jinho staggered locking die-cast tuners, and a Graphtech STUQ nut. The pickups installed are a Roswell HAF-B AlNiCo-5 Humbucker, and two Roswell S74-N AlNiCo-5 Single Coils. These pickups are wired to a master volume, master tone (push/pull coil split), and a five-way pickup selector.
The Roasted Maple neck plays very well, with a slim Modern 'C' profile that feels quick in the hand. The Roasted Flamed Maple fingerboard provides a smooth surface under the fingers, whilst the 12” radius and Medium Jumbo frets assist with string bends and vibrato techniques, delivering a smooth, quick playing experience in any position. The double cutaway body design provides uninhibited access to the upper register whilst the Wilkinson WVS550IIK tremolo and Locking tuning machines provide rock solid tuning stability for those whammy bar gymnastics.
The pickups in this guitar offer a great versatile sound, they produce a mixture of sparkly tones with a hint of a darker undertones, whilst retaining clarity with each note. The Roswell HAF-B AlNiCo-5 Humbucker in the bridge provides a full driving mid range with the best natural harmonic overtones, and a top end that produces a crunchy edge. The Roswell STA Alnico 5 Single Coil in the middle position produces a smooth single coil sound with more output and more mids, providing bright trebles and full warm bass, and lends itself well to rhythm tones. The Roswell STA Alnico 5 Single Coil in the neck position provides a warm, rounded sound, offering a smooth tone that handles distorted tones as well as it handles clean tones.
