After a closer look at the Fusion, the new ST-Modern have disadvantages: - a bridge that requires building new habits for palm muting - non staggered tuners that require string trees - butterfly string trees (the Fusion have roller string trees and the staggered tuners probably make them redundant) - Strat'-style hat-knobs that make pulling for coil split unpractical
These are all legit points IMHO. Spec-wise I still prefer the Fusion, but I'd like to give the neck a try. Wonder if it feels different with the round edges and the coumpound radius.
I'm sorry if this sounds rude but I think that if you want to film a comparison, you should own both the instruments. You can't compare two objects just by reading the specs on the website. The feel in the hands, the response of the wood when you hold the guitar against your body, the differences in sound and all of that are only comparable when you have the guitars in your own hands, not through a website
Having a longer bridge plate and longer tremolo arm (similar to the Gotoh T1802 on Ibanez AZ Prestige line), the fulcrum/pivot will definitely feel different.. more responsive, so you don't have to move your hand as much to recreate the same tremolo effect. It's physics. I'm not sure about the block size compared to the Wilkinson one, but the Wilkinson block size/weight is definitely the weakest point. I completely transformed mine by simply super glueing a 2$ piece of galvanised steel to add some mass and weight. Tone, sustain and tuning stability MUCH improved.. it's night and day!
That sounds interesting....never thought about that. To me, the Wilkinson bridge feels and souns very good. The only problem I've experienced is, that the high e string somewho tends to break. At least more often than with the FR.
My main concern with the new HB model is this fancy Babicz bridge. Strings look sort of recessed so i suspect that the bridge might get in the way depending on playing style. I prefer to put the side of my palm directly on the bridge for palm muting, but with the new bridge my hand will no longer push on strings - it will be resting on bridge saddles, with strings couple of mm lower. That will probably require some time to get used to, probably some technique adjustment too. Then again, i've never seen this bridge in person, never tried playing it, so mb i'm overthinking and it's actually super comfortable.
Hi great video my friend en harley benton tengo la fusion T HH OCT EB.....crees que halla mucha diferencia en calidad con esta guitarra st modern plus ....
The ST modern has a pickguard which affects the sound compared to a direct mount. Thats the main reason to have both. Otherwise the Fusion is as good or better.
Don't know...that wouldn't be factor to me.. For me the main difference Neck..D Shape with such a flat fretboard radius should feel a lot different than the fusion...and also the pus which are a plus as I like Tesla's more.. Also the trem is better...

I like mini toggles vs push pull.

These new ST Modern guitars are sold out now. I guess he could have waited.
The more expensive flame-top models have a modern ergonomic access cut around the neck joint but not the others.
