    The neck pocket on my 25th Anniversary Fusion III is totally snug and as good a fit as any I've had. In fact, I have no quality quibbles. I do, however, have a couple of design issues.That volume knob position you mentioned isn't ideal. It doesn't bug me a lot but I may move it at some point. The jack socket is also not in the best place so I may move that too. I bought the guitar to play, not to look at, and I like it well enough to be pretty sure I'll keep it, so I'm happy to tweak it without worrying about wrecking the resale value.
    On the whole, a really nice guitar with an almost unbelievable set of features for the price.
    And the pickups don't even suck!

    • @agufish
      @agufish  Рік тому

      Probably only if you love the satin gold top color scheme and/or the d-shape roasted flame maple neck. Otherwise, the SC-550II at a couple hundred bucks less is probably better bang for buck as a mod platform

    I got a B-stock Korg Prologue from Thomann and the packaging was absolutely shocking. They sent it in the original beat up half open inner box wrapped in the 2mm foam blanket and that was it, no attempt to put it in a fresh outer box or replace the foam padding. _Somehow_ it's never given me any problems but that's speaks more to the Prologue being a tank than Thomann's terrible QC on B-stocks.

      Epiphone are hard at work pricing themselves out of the market, trying to see how much they can milk the inflation excuse, but there's loads of good budget options from Squier, still.
      I would recommend anyone thinking about Epiphone to consider Harley Benton or Vintage (UK brand working with Trev Wilkinson) instead. HB are great for the money, and Vintage are just straight up great, much better out of the box than Epis at a much lower price. Superb workhorses if you don't want to roll over for Gibson/Epiphone's price gouging.

    I and many others I presume want a higher spec traditional type Tele along the lines of the fusion models but with a high quality ashtray and some quality single coils in a selection of colours/figuring, the TE62 is ok but could do with some flame maple neckage and a gloss flame maple fretboard.
    On their websites spec list they always call the fretboard a fingerboard which is incorrect, fingerboards are fretless like violins , violas, cellos, double bass, please let them know!
