Harley Benton Fusion-T II HH LH MN OTC

Harley Benton Fusion-T II HH LH MN OTC review

The Harley Benton Fusion-T II HH LH MN OTC is a left-handed, six-string electric guitar in the company's Pro Series. Its listed price is 455, and it has been available since July 2026. The specification points to a T-style instrument with a bolt-on neck, two humbuckers, a two-point tremolo, and a 24-fret layout. Those details describe a broadly versatile configuration, though the published information does not include independent measurements or playing impressions.

There is one discrepancy in the supplied specifications worth noting. The summary lists "Top: None," while the detailed description names a quilted maple veneer. The guitar's finish is given as Ocean Turquoise Gloss. Because the two top descriptions conflict, buyers should confirm the actual finish and veneer details with the seller before ordering.

Body and neck construction

The body is made from nyatoh and has natural wood binding. The bolt-on neck is described as roasted Canadian flamed maple, while the fingerboard is Canadian maple, also described in the summary as caramelized. The neck has a Modern C profile, measuring 21 mm thick at the first fret and 23 mm at the twelfth. These dimensions provide a more useful description of the neck shape than the profile name alone, though they do not establish how it will feel in an individual player's hands.

The compound fingerboard radius transitions from 12 inches to 16 inches. A flatter radius toward the upper frets can accommodate lower string action with less interference during bends, depending on the setup. The guitar has 24 medium-jumbo stainless-steel frets, specified at 2.7 mm, plus circular dot inlays and fluorescent side markers. A double-action truss rod is adjusted by a wheel, a practical detail for making neck relief changes without relying on a traditional adjustment nut at the headstock.

Scale length is 648 mm, or 25.5 inches, and nut width is 42 mm. The nut is a Graph Tech TUSQ XL model. Taken together, those measurements provide a familiar full-scale layout. The guitar ships with coated.010,.046 strings in standard E tuning, according to the supplied data.

Pickups and controls

The pickup layout consists of two Tesla Alnico 5 humbuckers: an Opus-1B Zebra model at the bridge and an Opus-1N Black Open model at the neck. The finish descriptions distinguish the two pickups, but no output readings, coil-splitting details, or frequency response figures are provided. It would therefore be premature to make specific claims about their sound or output level.

Controls include one volume knob, one tone knob, a five-way pickup selector, and a mini switch identified as an "Alter" switch in the specifications. The switch's exact function is not explained. A five-way selector paired with two humbuckers offers more positions than a basic three-way arrangement, but the listing does not map those positions to coil combinations. Confirm the switching scheme if particular pickup sounds or wiring options matter to your setup.

Tremolo and hardware

The bridge is a Babicz FCH 2-Point Special Z-Series C Full Contact tremolo. This is a two-point design, and the listing confirms that the guitar includes a tremolo system. It does not state the bridge's adjustment range or describe its behavior under heavy use, so claims about tuning stability or feel would go beyond the available evidence.

At the headstock, Jinho JN-07 staggered locking tuners carry the Harley Benton logo. The remaining hardware is chrome-plated. Locking tuners make string changes more direct, but they do not by themselves guarantee tuning stability; the nut, bridge setup, string installation, and playing technique also matter.

What the specifications establish

• Orientation and format: Left-handed, six strings, T-style body, 648 mm scale.
• Neck and frets: Bolt-on roasted Canadian flamed maple neck, Canadian maple fingerboard, compound 12-to-16-inch radius, 24 stainless-steel frets.
• Electronics: Two Tesla Alnico 5 humbuckers, volume and tone controls, five-way selector, and mini Alter switch.
• Included accessories: No case or gig bag is included.

At 455, the listed configuration brings together several higher-spec components, including stainless-steel frets, a compound-radius fingerboard, a TUSQ XL nut, and locking tuners. The available data supports a clear assessment of its construction and hardware, but not a verdict on sound, setup quality, or long-term reliability. The conflicting top description and unexplained Alter switch are the main details to clarify before purchase.
