Just wow
I bought this guitar as a live workhorse axe that I wouldn't be upset about if it gets some dings. Plus, I was interested in finding out what kind of guitar you can get for just 400 euros nowadays. Man, this thing is impressive.
To start, it looks killer. The flamed maple neck is a definite looker. mine didn't have any finishing issues so that's a big plus. Controls are smooth, well placed and feel sturdy and durable. No real volume clean up with high gain but hey.
Hardware all feels durable and well made. Tuners show now deadzones and stay in tune very well. I locked the Wilkinson down as I don't like trems, but it's one of the more comfortable bridges to palm mute as there no sharp edges to get caught behind. After some setup work the action is awesome and the neck plays like butter. The frets were a bit sticky in the beginning but after some playing this quickly went away.
The only real downside I can give is that the fretboard looks rather bland when compared to the flame maple of the neck and that there are some marks at the fretboard end from fret end dressing... But hey those are extremely minor complaints for a guitar in this price range.
To conclude, this guitar has everything you could wish for and more considering the price.
I don't know if I got a particularly good one but I own a few high end boutique guitars and dare to say this rivals them in some or more aspects.
Definitely worth the money, it will become one of my mains for sure!

Top notch!
I ordered this on a whim! The list of appointments really impressed me! Received this very fast for an overseas shipping! When I got it I was a little underwhelmed. Frets were scratchy, needed to be finished properly. Needed a good setup. In my opinion, needed new pickups as well! Customer service was informed of the issues out of the box and I was compensated fairly! Since then... this guitar has been my "go to" player! The frets are now effortless! Slippery in the best way! It sounds massive! The roasted maple neck is absolutely perfect! Definitely a guitar worth easily twice the money I paid! My first harley benton! Will not be my last! P.s. just ordered my 2nd one!

Very, very Impressed!
Amazing value for money. This guitar beats guitars with three times its price. The finish is excellent, the neck is truly impressive, while the pickups are good sounding. Hardware looks and feels quality. The only things I had to do, was to lower the action a bit and apply some lemon oil to the fretboard which was quite dry.

A Feature Laden Masterpiece
I’ve owned and played Fender Strats and Telecasters, and some others. This level of quality in the construction and the design with all the top of the line features make this one of the finest electric guitars available period. Yes, it’s an incredible low price, but I’m honestly more blown away by the great sounds, great playability, and versatility the Fusion has. My thanks go out to the great designers at Thomann!

Out of the box, everything was fine. Just needed to tune and play. Fantastic guitar, fit and finish superb (could not see any blemish at all, apart from a minor cable peaking through on the rear of the guitar).
Plays very nice, the coil-split feature is nice.
Buttons are solid and well-placed.
Note that it is a heavy guitar, so need to be sitting or with a good strap on.

Excellent for the money
Had a problem with the first one they sent to me. Might have a been a B- Stock. But after a couple of pictures and e-mails the problem was taken care of fairly well. Aside from that, where are you going to get a superstrat type guitar this good at this price. Others are trying but HB's are in first place by a long shot. Considering what you get here, I'll deal with the shipping charges here in the US of A. As long as it's in stock, I can still get it quicker most often.

Excellent
Had this guitar for a week now and it doesn't disappoint. The finish is flawless and the roasted maple looks stunning. The Pick ups sound great and the neck is comfortable to play. In summary, I love this guitar, its looks amazing and sounds just as good. The only minus is, the tone pot is a little crackly, but a quick spray of contact cleaner should fix that.

Wunderbar
I'am happyier with this purchase. This guitar is very playable out of the box. No probelms with the slope of the neck. Unlike the first guitar I brought from Thomann. Maybe the guitar could use more fine tuning.
I am kind of a beginner.
With a guitar at this price level I wonder a bit about the "Flame-roasted neck" do they stain the wood to get it that color? And the finish on the face of the guitar...welll ???
But This guitar is too pretty to take it busking on the street with me, fortunately my guitar playing is worse.
