is it a bolt-on(fusion) or neck thru( 550xl I think)?

[mr_dj07]

Bolt on !

I beleive it's a fusion

And I also think it's a dimarzio in the bridge.

I'm interested in purchasing it.

I have a model 4 Charvel, how could it compare ?

[rjohnstone]

RunDMC is correct.
It's a Fusion Deluxe.

Short scale guitar.

Comparing it with a Model 4 is akin to apples and oranges.

Here's the differences though:
Body - The Model 4 has a full-sized strat body and the Fusion DLX has a "Dinky" style body.

Neck - There's the obvious 22 frets on the Model 4 and 24 frets on the Fusion. Other differences are the scale lengths. The Model 4 is 25.5" (Fender Scale) and the Fusion (which what makes it a fusion and not a Dinky) is 24.75 (Gibson Scale). The other difference would be cosmetic as in the logos are different.

Pickups - As you can see the pickup configuration is different between the two. When both instruments are stock there are other differences. The bridge humbucker in the Model 4 is the J50BC, the Fusion has the J90C. The single coils in the model 4 are J200s (2) and the Fusion has a single slanted J200R.

Electronics - The model 4 came with a JE1200 Active Preamp with a Mid boost/cut knob. The fusion is just your straight pickup to amp guitar.

Fusion as a 24 2/3 scale.....here is a pic of a USA Fusion. Not sure why they make these. Once you get used to the 25.5 it seems to crowded.


This was a borrowed guitar...didnt like it, looked cool though

Fusion as a 24 2/3 scale

24 3/4 not 24 2/3. and yes it does look cool

Other more important differences besides scale is hardware. JT-590 bridge with locking nut usually means the ability to sustain a note better. That is my opinion, but opinions is almost spelled like onions, so someone elses might smell a little different.

[Model 88]

Other than the scale lenght the back shape seems to be about the same as my Model 88 . Thin but nothing to crazy . If you want thin try finding a USA Fusion it will make the Charvel feel like a baseball bat.

Great guitars.

I have a 100% stock Fusion Deluxe, a Fusion Deluxe Body (same color as above) with a Fusion Pro Neck, black hardware and EMG81 EMG-S at 18 volts, and a stock Fusion Pro.

By Pro I mean the ebony / MOP bound necks.
