The Harley Benton Fusion-III HSH EB FBLB

Many players appreciate the versatility of the Roswell pickups, which deliver good tones suitable for various genres including blues, jazz, and rock. The coil-splitting option enhances its tonal range even further, allowing for a mix of sounds that can cater to different playing styles. Despite some initial setup issues like high action and loose pickups, once properly adjusted, the guitar performs admirably and remains in tune well, particularly when using the tremolo.
