brundaddy Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I always loved the looks of those guitars. What's the function of the 'fingers' tailpiece btw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnhw Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Don't have in hands yet...probably before Christmas (a treat to myself). It's in the back put to bed for me. I played it to make sure my hands didn't hit the "fingers" or dull the tone. My position and style seems to work fine with it. I have never had a guitar with "fingers"...I understand it has to do with the pressure you want to apply to each string so they can be adjusted accordingly. Want x-larges for part, lights for part...don;t know anyone who plays that way but if I understand right its for separate adjustment. The first Fusion (not the one with the hole) had a stop tail piece. Have a 335...but the upper can rub my nipple and cause soreness. I like the guitar because of the size, both overall dimensions and width and the cutout fits a leg well while sitting. It's vintage burst, 19 years old now and seems to have a bit of mojo to it.

Shade Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Just fell over this one... Was it produced with a floating pickup? Howard Roberts But the one you are waiting for is more like this? Wonderfull sound... Howard Roberts 1988 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnhw Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Yeah..thanks brundaddy...that nipples tyaken a beating. Shade...the one from your youtube is a Howard Roberts Fusion (or Fusion I) it has the stop tailpiece. If I can find one of those it would be nice. Look up Fusion III, I am getting the first year that was made, 1991. Thanks for the responses guys.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
