  • Fusion USA body wood?

    Came across this USA Fusion on Craigslist a while back. It feels relatively light, maybe slightly lighter than my alder DK2M.
    Is it possibly poplar or more likely to be basswood?

    IIRC, the FUsions were indeed basswood. I could be mistooken, though. I know a lot of the Charvel Model models were basswood, and not that fly-away stuff Ibenhad is known for. These things weigh like LPs.
    I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

    The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

      Im pretty sure Fusions are basswood, but the USA made ones might be poplar. But I'd bet basswood.

            Hey... I recognize that guitar, I have some pics of her hanging on my wall before I traded it to the Colorado area. Nice grab by the way, I know that Marshall you traded for it made him very happy.
            USA Fusions are very nice players I will say, enjoy
            I like black and white guitars

              Pretty sure the USA Fusion was poplar wood. Somebody check the 90-91 catalog...
              "Got a crazy feeling I don't understand,
              Gotta get away from here.
              Feelin' like I shoulda kept my feet on the ground
              Waitin' for the sun to appear..."

                I had also heard that they were poplar, but I can't find any confirmation.

                The 90-91 catalog doesn't mention body wood:
