Harley Benton Guitar MAX Fusion Signature HO

After setting the guitar up for lower action and making some small adjustments it plays wonderfully. Coming from a schecter omen 6 this feels like a huge upgrade to me. The only thing i might change is the pickups. The finish looks incredible but keep in mind it will only look like that when light falls directly onto the guitar. Plays great, feels great, could be worth more than 1.000€ probably. Im pretty sure if you change the pickups you won't need another guitar. Maybe my only issue is not having fretboard inlays but you get used to it after a couple of days.

I own two Guitar MAX fusions. They are everything I hoped. The Holoflash is exceptional and needed nothing other than my usual string change and FR adjustments for my gauge of strings. Everything about a Harley Benton is underrated. EVERYTHING. From the Roasted flame maple necks to the Tesla pickups. That is why I pay to have my favorite HB guitars sent to the USA. KEEP IT UP Harley Benton and Thomann!

I want to start by saying this review is completely honest and based only on my personal experience playing guitars.
I ordered the Harley Benton Guitar MAX Fusion Signature HO on February 9th, and it took about 2.5 weeks to arrive. I chose express delivery, but unfortunately in Kazakhstan the shipping was delayed — UPS didn’t work very well locally. That’s more of a shipping company issue though.
Now about the guitar itself — I honestly did not expect it to be this good.
Out of the box, it was already set up and ready to play. Everything felt right immediately. I still took it to a guitar technician just to be sure, but he barely had to adjust anything — just a slight tweak of the truss rod and pickup height. That’s it.
The guitar itself is absolutely amazing.
First of all — it’s extremely comfortable. The neck feels incredible in the hand. I have relatively large hands, and this neck shape fits me perfectly. I previously owned a Fusion III, and this one has a slightly wider neck, which makes it much more comfortable for me.
The second thing that impressed me was the sound. It’s completely different — a different level, a different atmosphere, and noticeably higher quality. You just plug it in, and immediately hear that it’s something special.
Build quality is also excellent. There are no flaws, nothing sharp, nothing uncomfortable — everything feels clean and well-made. The guitar arrived in perfect condition.
I really enjoy playing it. It feels great every time I pick it up.
5 out of 5 — I have zero regrets about buying it. Highly recommended.

First Harley Benton for me and after reading all the glorious reviews thought I needed to try one and so glad I did. Bought the Holoflash Max Signature to satisfy my 80's cravings. I've owned a lot of the higher end brands and the neck is comparable to a £3500 guiat I had before. Slick and fast. Well appointed pick ups and hardware and feels great. Just seen the new Hot Rod guitar that's just been launched and will be waiting for new colours of that to appear and then purchase.
