    Damn dude this is only the second video I’ve seen of your channel, you are so small & chill but when that guitar hits your hand and the music starts pouring out you are a freaking giant man. Dude you have talent. Simply put you’ve got another sub. You’re definitely an inspiration. You really make that guitar sing with emotion. Fantastic!!

    Last year I moved abroad with my family and after almost 20 years without touching the lone reminescent of my guitar collection , a 90s Gibson Les Paul Standard - which I happen to have left at my home country -, I decided to give this HB Fusion II HH oct a chance thanks to your videos. Let's now see how much of my former years of practice and giging remains after this long hiatus! Thank you very much for your awesome videos and content, Cheers!!

    What a beautiful guitar. Again, fantastic playing man!!! I just got the Tele fusion sister of that guitar, in black. What a home run by HB. I just love it. I thought I would change the pickups before I received it, but after playing it a couple weeks, no way. Very wide range in these pickups. Congratulations on the daughter's wedding. Very cool. Great vid. Keep em coming. 👍🤘

    Hi Jonathan
    I bought the green Harley Fusion ll guitar after your review.
    As I said in my last comment I love your reviews, however it would be amazing if every video could have a signal chain presentation - not in detsil but just like... i use this amp/pedal/multieffect.... and in this review i use this or that preset.
    Or maybe a closer look into your Helix and its settings.... because you have AMAZING sound every time.
    Keep it up... you are a great inspiration.

    Great review! I'm happy to see that the pickups are staying.
    They had a few of the new ones at Guitcon, and Pete got PISSED when he saw that one. I thought that was kinda funny, cuz his guitar AND this guitar are both strat copies. His is hardly the first strat with dual humbuckers. They look similar, yes, but nobody shopping for a Suhr is going to accidentally buy the HB. I would love to see a comparison tho. 😎😎

    • @leesbassment6393
      @leesbassment6393 6 років тому

      Agreed. His has some interesting switching going on, and a mahogany neck. This one looks real nice for the money. I have a fusion and a CST24 P90. I think the CST is a slightly nicer guitar, but just barely.

    Hey Jonathan! New subscriber and guitar player.
    I'm torn between this guitar, SC-550 and the CST-24.
    I would love your two cents on which of these I should buy, as I'm a beginner I don't really have the knowledge yet to choose.
    Thanks a lot and keep up the good work! Love your videos!

    • @JonIsJustTooLoud
      @JonIsJustTooLoud  5 років тому +2

      Ok here's the lowdown... The SC and the Cst both have humbuckers. (And split coil) but the CST has a great tremolo system if set up right.
      So for future exploration into guitar playing, I would recommend the CST24T. But if you're worried about the tremolo system, then make the decision yourself as both guitars are great ✌️🤓

Could you do me a favor and share with me what settings/ pedals, amp settings etc. you are using starting at frame 3:15 it is the sound that I am looking for. Is this particular guitar part of the equation? Can I get that out of a different set of humbuckers. By the way your demonstration of this guitar has me placing one in my "Wish List" at Harley Benton.
    Please let me know what pedals and or amp you are using to achieve that at 3:15. Thanks, Bob

    I got this one too, a few days ago ...it's the best Benton so far, and I have a dozen (and tried lots more).
    In another comment you mention a 'PIO cap' you plan to add, is that like a treble bleed? Cause that was my first thought after trying it out.
    That's again a fabulous soloing track you put in here!

    Nice review and great playing. Dig your lead tone! How thick would you say that the neck is? I've seen multiple people say that it's thinner than an Ibanez neck.. often referred to as a "toothpick". I've read that it's quite chunky as well.. (How can it be both?!) Thomann should really add the dimensions of the neck to the description. A "Modern C" profile doesn't really say much.

    • @JonIsJustTooLoud
      @JonIsJustTooLoud  6 років тому +1

    Man Jonathan - how did you get yours so quick? I ordered one as soon as they were available and mine hasn't even left Germany yet!
    Great video though - and as usual, you cover most of the bases spec-wise and treat us to some really soulful playing as well. Also glad to hear the humbuckers are an improvement and that they addressed the string retainer situation. I'm hoping this HH one has a bit thicker neck profile as well. My Roasted Maple model was great except for the super thin ( shaped profile instead of the advertised C and I'm hoping that was a fluke.
    Anyway - Love your informative and entertaining vids. Your enthusiasm and the fact that you look at your guitars as the tools they are really make your reviews a cut above!
    Congrats on your daughter - and may you all have a Merry Christmas and a bright New Year!

    • @JonIsJustTooLoud
      @JonIsJustTooLoud  6 років тому

      Thank you brother for your well wishes and comments!! It took about 10 days to arrive..:) Yes..the strings retainer is gone and you have staggered locking tuners and a single string tree. The tuning stability is spot on provided you sort out the nut with a bit of filing. I actually love the roasted maple's neck profile. So you might want to take note that this new guitar has a similar neck profile.:) Have a merry Christmas!!!!✌🤓

      @@JonIsJustTooLoud I finally got my HH today. US Customs is super slow and post in general this time of year is overloaded.
      I'm happy to say that the neck on this one is much better than that dinky "toothpick" on the Roasted Maple model. I kind of thought that there might be some variation in neck profiles according to who is doing the sanding. My RM must've had a "newbie" sanding necks that day. The difference in feel is huge. This new one is more like the descriptions I've heard of the neck not being too slim or too fat. It is slim, but it's definitely C shaped this time and the added fullness in the shoulder makes it very comfortable. I can't stand to play the Roasted Maple, but I don't want to put this one down! I wonder if Thoman would send me a replacement neck for the RM if they're carving the necks like this on all the new ones? One's a player and one's an expensive paperweight the way it is.
      My shipping box was pretty banged up, but the guitar arrived in perfect shape. The neck on this one even has some flames. Tuning problems of the RM have been totally eliminated with the new changes on the headstock. Only needed a little setup to play perfectly. The nut on this one is, like on my RM, cut a bit narrow from E to E at 34.5mm. I'll replace the nut on it at some point so I can take advantage of the extra real estate on the fingerboard.
      Looks like Macassar Ebony on the fingerboard - very pretty and it feels great. Like you, I'll want to oil mine once the black dye stops wearing off. The finish on the body is flawless and the color is beautiful. Mine weighs 7lbs 5ozs - very light and the same as my Roasted Maple model.
      All in all, the numerous improvements in this Fusion Pro II model make it a fabulous instrument and a really good deal. I wish I'd waited on the Roasted Maple model, but I'm glad I didn't wait on this one. I'd imagine they'll sell these out pretty quickly and the whole "fusion" thing will be passé before you know it....

    Hey Jonathan, great playing.
    I put in an order for this guitar, I just want to know...did you have any problems with unlevel frets? I got a CST-24-HB from them and the frets were all over the place and the nut was so badly miscut, it needed to be changed...not a fan of the roseacer, but otherwise a stellar guitar when things were fixed on it.
    I'm worried about this purchase because I don't have the tools or the experience to level stainless frets. I'm hoping mine is fine if yours was.
    Thanks!
