Harley Benton Fusion 3 owner here… €450. Nothing at all wrong with this thing.

What you're saying was true 10 years ago but musical instruments have been improving in quality a lot recently.

Hm, yeah that might be the case. Last guitar with a FR I bought was well over 10y ago.

I have had two Harley Benton bass guitars, a 5 string fretless, and a 5 string PJ combo, and they both shit the bed and ceased to work in under a year of light usage, both times it was cheap electronics (the pickups).

That being said I have many friends with Harley Benton instruments and amps and they all work fine still, I just got unlucky. Of course, cheap parts are cheap parts and will be more liable to fail than better ones. It is still a lot better than it used to be.
