Topic: Howard Roberts Fusion

I was just wondering what Joe thought of the Gibson Howard Roberts Fusion. I think the original with the stop-bar tailpiece is a very undervalued model. The original prototype recently sold for about $6000. The guitar was the one Howard Roberts was holding, pictured in the original advertising. I think $6000 was a steal...

Re: Howard Roberts Fusion

Not sure what Joe thinks, but the other guitar player in my band owns one and it is one of the best guitars i have ever played. It can actually go from jazz to rock easily. The neck shape is one of my favorites too. So easy to play.

Makes me think of Alex Lifeson.

Re: Howard Roberts Fusion

I realize it's not an original, but it still creates some serious GAS
