Awesome review. Goes to show that no two guitars are alike. Makes me want to buy another to compare the first one to. But still for that price she's a screamer. Thanks brother. Nice to see honest reviews. I will be watching for sure. I'm Glad we both got to review and take a look at this guitar.
Deffo! This one had a couple little issues.. well, apart from the bridge, they’ve all been fixed now. But even so, I’ve honestly had guitars triple the price turn up with holes in the fretboard or finish cracks or poorly done nuts etc! Glad yours is awesome too mate! I was watching your unboxing hoping it was a good one for ya!
Great playing and great review! I'm going to try one of these on saturday because your video got me interested in this model so if I like it I will buy it! thanks for triggering my G.A.S. hahaha
@@Skunkwerx So I got to try 3 of them. The first one was ok, but I didn't like the sound of it so I asked if I could try another one, the second one had a better sound (I assume it's because it was more resonant), but it had some damage (they offered me a discount because of it), so I asked to try one that wasn't damaged and it was just perfect. The sound was great, the fret were perfectly leveled, the neck was comfortable for me, no neck-dive and it has the same minor flaws that you mentioned about the bridge and the finish so that didn't make me not want it as I expected them, so I bought it! After 2 weeks I can say is one of the most fun guitars I own, when I´m in the mood for some genres of music I immediately pick this one and have an amazing time playing a good sounding and comfortable instrument. Thanks for such detailed review and I'll definitively check out the mods video, keep it up with the great content!
@@Emanuel_Flores Hey mate, thanks for the update, thats awesome to hear how it turned out :) Glad you got a good one too third time lucky! It certainly is very fun to play! I pick mine up most days too. I actually meant to film a short update with the first set of mods today... but I had a sleep after work instead haha.. Ill do it this week though. I reckon Ill upgrade the rest in 2 more stages over the next couple of months.. Then it shall be done!
Thanks mate :) subbed back! I’ve heard great things about the Fusions. Insane spec for the money these guitars! Same here though, it’s certainly hard to put down haha!
Hey man, cheers for the kind words! Is dunlop 01 and 02 the fretboard cleaner and conditioner? If so, yeah should be fine mate. I have used dunlops lemon oil and that was fine. The blackwood board on mine seems fairly tight grained/dense, similar to Ebony in a way, though its not. I always use little, dont saturate it, same for all guitars.
Nice review man, i am between this and the ST-20 with active pick ups, my only concer for the Victory is that the scale is 628 and i dont know how it will handle a downtune like drop C compared to a 648 scale.
Nice review! I'm waffling between this guitar and the 500SC Vintage in white for my first Harley Benton. It's not an easy choice! BTW, what's the intro riff from in your videos? It's killer.
Cheers man! Appreciate the nice comments :) The intro music is a track called ‘riffs for days’ by Track Tribe. I found it on youtubes royalty free song list but if you search for it on youtube you’ll find it too :) its a short instrumental but sounds good eh?
Just ordered one of these from Thomann, your looks and sounds great!

Nice review! Guitar sounds great, and the tones you captured are really great.
Thanks mate, really appreciate the kind words! :)

Thanks for the kind words mate :)
These things do seem like great value for money!! Hope the one you are trying is just as good!

Grrr8 review! Awesome chops...!!! I own the Fusion II HH FR and can't seem to put it down...!!! Subscribe!
Thanks mate :) subbed back!

Great review, love this guitar! Hey, how do you think can i use Dunlop 01 and 02 on this guitar?
Hey man, cheers for the kind words!
Is dunlop 01 and 02 the fretboard cleaner and conditioner?
If so, yeah should be fine mate. I have used dunlops lemon oil and that was fine. The blackwood board on mine seems fairly tight grained/dense, similar to Ebony in a way, though its not. I always use little, dont saturate it, same for all guitars.
@@Skunkwerx yes, thank you very much for this vital info!
Love that heartagram
Cheers man! Created them myself using an 'Ung Drill' frame from Ikea and some white card and spray paints :)
Nice review man, i am between this and the ST-20 with active pick ups, my only concer for the Victory is that the scale is 628 and i dont know how it will handle a downtune like drop C compared to a 648 scale.
Can you go full albert king with the pickups that come with this guitar ?

I just bought a used one for $150. I don't like the tuners. The pickups are good and crunchy.
Nice one man, yeah the tuners were deffo one area to upgrade!
Meanwhile at Gibson...
