Bogmonster Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I know this topic may offend some purists. BUT -- I want to add in a middle pickup to a used and scratched up Howard Roberts Fusion III that I bought really inexpensive so that I could make some mods. It's my favorite jazz/retro guitar I've ever heard - bar none. However - I'd also like to add in a more biting sound to make it more versatile, so I'm thinking of routing in a Fender Texas Special in the middle (wired for a bridge position sound). My question - most folks that I've spoken with (while offended by the idea of messing up such a collectible guitar) have said that the structural changes are so minor as to not really worry about it - the original sounds from the other pickups that I enjoy so much shouldn't be affected. Any opinions one way or the other? Obviously that is the one element of nervousness - I don't care too much about the collector's value or how it looks - just want to make sure the original pickup positions sound pretty much the same. Thanks for any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHian Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I purchased and sent back one last month- Bought as new arrived beat! Crack in the side of the cut away and loose truss rod. Oh well, I like the Fusion 1's better with the stop tail piece. Good luck on the mods!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
