With this high-quality guitar equipped with two splittable humbuckers (HH), you will be prepared for any scenario. The ergonomically designed body made of mahogany-like nyatoh with a high-gloss "Sparkle Pink" top finish is bolted to the roasted flamed maple neck in a truly traditional way. In addition, the fingerboard with a radius of 305mm is also made of roasted flamed maple, ensuring a snappy sound. To sum it up, tasteful looks, high flexibility, and tried-and-tested branded hardware and electronics come together here to create an affordable instrument that is suitable for a variety of genres.
The Fusion-III HH HT Roasted SSP model is a real eye-catcher. The nyatoh body comes with a high-gloss "Sparkle Pink" finish at the front and a transparent mahogany-style finish at the back, and the roasted bolt-on neck is made of Canadian flamed maple. This instrument is very comfortable to play thanks to its nut width of 42mm and its modern C neck profile. The roasted ebony fingerboard with 24 wear-free jumbo stainless steel frets is also more than an off-the-rack product. In addition, the guitar features a TUSQ nut, a WSC Hipshot-style HT bridge, and locking tuners. The electronics comprise two AlNiCo-5 vintage-style humbuckers made by Roswell, which are complemented by a three-way switch as well as potentiometers for volume and tone. The latter allows the humbuckers to be split via a push-pull function, thus also making single-coil sounds possible, and the jack socket is ergonomically recessed into the side of the body.
The Fusion-III HH HT Roasted SSP is an affordable guitar that stands out from the crowd thanks to its numerous attractive and practical features. The roasted flamed maple neck alone is something rarely seen at this price point. As if that wasn't enough, the locking machine heads provide reliable tuning, while the stainless steel frets are characterised by minimal wear - so this instrument will be with you for the long haul. Thanks to the three-way switch and two splittable humbuckers, the guitar is extremely flexible in terms of sound and is able to cover many genres. This guitar is recommended for beginners who want to start with a high-quality instrument that will keep them happy in the long run, but smart spenders who want a particularly elegant and tonally flexible instrument at a budget-friendly price will also find what they are looking for here.

Roasting
Roasting is one of a range of heat treatment methods that can be applied to wood. This method, which is a relatively recent development, is used in order to give new and/or alternative woods the same tonal characteristics as older, matured tone woods (some of which are now protected by conservation laws and can thus no longer be sold). The wood is placed in a special computer-controlled oven and dried to a pre-determined degree – in other words, its natural drying phase is artificially shortened. This process also changes the wood’s visual appearance, darkening its colour and making the pattern of the grain more distinct.
