Harley Benton Fusion-IV HH RW JM

Harley Benton Fusion-IV HH RW JM review

The Harley Benton Fusion-IV HH RW JM is a solid-body electric guitar with a nyatoh body, a bolt-on roasted Canadian flamed maple neck, and a rosewood fingerboard. Its Jade Metallic high-gloss finish and natural wood body binding give it a defined visual specification, while its hardware and electronics point to a design built around several pickup configurations and a two-point tremolo. The listed price is 429. No currency was provided in the product data, so that figure should not be read as a confirmed price in a particular market.

This review is based solely on the supplied specifications. No customer reviews are available, and there is no basis here for claims about comfort, tuning stability, tone, build quality, or performance in use. The feature set can be assessed on paper, but those qualities require hands-on testing.

Neck, fingerboard, and playing dimensions

The 648 mm (25.5-inch) scale is a familiar full-length electric-guitar measurement. The neck uses a Modern C profile, measuring 21 mm thick at the first fret and 23 mm at the twelfth. Those figures describe a gradual increase in depth along the neck; they do not, by themselves, establish how the profile will feel in a player's hand.

The compound fingerboard radius changes from 305 mm to 406 mm, equivalent to 12 to 16 inches. The flatter end of that range is often specified on guitars intended to accommodate lower action and wide bends, but the supplied data does not state the factory setup or fretwork tolerances. The rosewood fingerboard has 24 Blacksmith stainless-steel medium-jumbo frets, each listed at 2.7 mm. Stainless steel is a material choice, not evidence of a particular fret finish or setup quality.

Round fingerboard inlays mark the fret positions, and the side markers are glow-in-the-dark. A Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut is fitted at a width of 42 mm (1.65 inches). The double-action truss rod has an adjustment wheel, so the listed adjustment point is at the neck rather than a conventional end-of-neck access location. The specifications do not explain how easily that wheel can be reached once the strings are installed.

Pickups and switching

The guitar has two covered Tesla humbuckers with Alnico 5 magnets: an Opus-1B at the bridge and an Opus-1N at the neck. A single volume control and a single tone control keep the main control layout simple. A mini-switch provides coil splitting, while a 10-way switch selects among pickup configurations.

That combination suggests more switching options than a basic three-position pickup selector, but the supplied information does not give the exact wiring chart. It would be unwise to assign particular sounds or switch positions without that detail. The coil-split function indicates that the humbuckers can be configured to use fewer coils, though output level, noise behavior, and tonal balance in each mode cannot be determined from the component list alone.

Bridge, tuners, and included items

The bridge is a Babicz FCH 2-Point Special Z-Series C with a full-contact tremolo design. Its two-point mounting and tremolo function are clear from the specification, but there is no information about range of movement, setup, or return-to-pitch results. Staggered Jinho JN-07 locking tuners are fitted, with the Harley Benton logo. Locking tuners can make string changes more direct, although their presence alone does not confirm tuning stability for the complete instrument.

Chrome hardware completes the listed finish details. The supplied strings are coated Harley Benton HQS EL strings in a.010 to.046 gauge set. Neither a bag nor a case is included, an important practical point for buyers who need protection for transport or storage.

What the specifications establish

The Fusion-IV HH RW JM offers a substantial set of defined components for its listed price: a roasted flamed maple neck, compound-radius rosewood fingerboard, stainless-steel frets, two Alnico 5 humbuckers, coil splitting, a 10-way selector, locking tuners, and a two-point tremolo. Its stated item number is 618111, and it has been listed as available since April 2026.

The specifications do not establish whether the guitar arrives well set up, how its switching is wired in practice, or how the neck and tremolo perform under playing conditions. Buyers should also confirm the local price and whether a separate case or bag is needed. On paper, this is a feature-rich HH electric guitar with several switching options. A hands-on test is still needed to judge the details that matter most in use.
