Harley Benton's Fusion Pro line packs modern S-style features, from roasted-maple necks to stainless frets, into a direct-order package for players who want specification without the brand markup.
Watch
Why it matters
Harley Benton is Thomann's own brand, so the guitars are sold without a distributor margin and undercut the mid-price import market by a wide margin. On paper the Fusion Pro models read like instruments costing far more, and the real trade-offs show up in finish consistency and resale value rather than in the headline specification. For a first serious S-style, or a spare to take to gigs, the arithmetic is hard to argue with.
Note
HSS roasted-maple modern strat with stainless frets.

Before you buy
