chromefree Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Gentlemen, I've been searching for a playable Howard Roberts Fusion guitar for quite some time without luck so far. I'm wondering if anyone here can pinpoint a similar guitar by Gibson, Ibanez, Epiphone or whatever that will match or come close to the neck specifications of the HR Fusion? Here are the specs and thanks to all: Plain laminated maple top, back and rims 14 7/8″ (W) X 18 1/4″(L) X 2 3/8″ (D) Multi-ply binding on top,single-ply binding on back Gold hardware Nashville TOM bridge, fine-tuning tailpiece Black speed Knobs 1-piece mahogany neck 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard, Width at 12th fret 2.062″ Peghead Pitch: 14° Thickness at 1st fret: 0.805″ Thickness at 12th fret: 0.063″ Heel Length: 0.625″ Neck Joint Location: 16th fret Headstock Inlay: “Gibson” and holly Pearloid dot inlays Single-ply binding ’59 Rounded Les Paul neck profile 24 3/4″ scale length; 1 11/16″ nut width MH Schaller keystone tuners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litterick Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 An HR Fusion III is up for auction here in Auckland, New Zealand, but it is shockingly expensive. The owner could not sell it at 2,600 NZD, so he added another 1000. Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, here's a brief article on Alex Lifeson's HR Fusion if anyone is interested: https://equipboard.com/pros/alex-lifeson/gibson-howard-roberts-fusion-i Edited February 1, 2020 by walrus11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdr Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Sorry I am late responding to this thread. There is a beautiful Howard Roberts Fusion guitar for sale at Centerville Music in Centerville, Ohio. He ships and his phone number is 937-436-2000. Guitar looks brand new - slight fogging on the pickup covers (like all the old Gibson's do). Good luck. jdr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
