Well, here we go again.
This is my third fusion. I've got two fusion 2s and now a new fusion 3. And though the tremolo, wood and general feel is great, 5 star, there ase some things that really made me wonder if I'd buy again.
First of all, there is lack of QC. My guitar had a crack between the neck and middle pickups. The crack was in color and I believe in the wood too. There is no way that crack was caused in transportation. I sent the guitar back and about 2 weeks later they send me a new one. In the new one there is a bolt missing, and there is a scratch in the neck near the headstock. Pfft (disappointment continues)
Secondly, there was a difference in the finish of the two guitars they send me. In the first one, the cracked one, the finish was harsh and overall bad. Really bad. In the second one they send the finish is perfect. A perfect satin finish, slicky fast feel.
Lastly, As I've said in another review of this guitar model there is an immediate need for a good setup. The action is sky high and the trush rod needs adjusting as the intonation sucks.
Pfft I feel so bad making this review. I really love the guitar model, but the lack of Quality Control(so a possibility of a need to return the guitar) and the really bad setup is something you need to take into consideration when ordering one!
Cheers!

Nice guitar with great features, but faced some problems
First about looks. Shell Pink looks fantastic. The mate finish looks great. with only minor tiny flaws here and there. Neck was good, frets nice and polished, would't scratch your hands. On my particular guitar there was only 1 mark of fret polishing on neck finish, but that's fine by me
Range of pickups sounds are great — you can get decent gain sound on bridge and Strat-like clean on the neck at 4-th position. I love it.
Only problem I faced with this fusion in strings action. The lowest action I could get is 2mm on 12th fret of low E. From the box action was even higher. May be it's an issue of only my particular guitar. Guys at the local guitar shop told me they would deepen trem screws holes and slightly alter neck angle to get the action I'm used to — 1.2 to 1.4 mm
