NGD and should i return it?
I just got this Harley Benton fusion IV HSS, the neck feels amazing, perfect size for my hands. Im not a fan of the pickups but whatever that’s an easy fix. However though, it has some issues. It will NOT stay in tune, this might be because of the strings catching themselves in the nut since the bridge is good and I have it on another guitar so I feel like that’s not the issue. There is also a serious dead note problems above the 15th fret, especially when bending. And the frets are really scratchy.
Ignoring the playability issues, the guitar was a bit disappointing with its cosmetics, the neck isn’t nearly as “flamey” as I would like it, idk that’s important to me and I know it doesn’t matter, still a little pissey about it. There are however some actually bad cosmetic defects, I have a crack on my neck pocket and the paint is really bad where my 5 way switch is located and there is a gash in the wood at the 15th fret.
