Howard Roberts Fusion
The Gibson Howard Roberts Fusion is a distinctive semi-hollow electric guitar that made its debut in 1975, designed in collaboration with renowned jazz guitarist Howard Roberts. Featuring a sleek body shape and a unique aesthetic, the Fusion combines the warm tonal qualities of a hollow body with the sustain and feedback resistance of a solid-body guitar. Equipped with humbucking pickups and a distinctive Varitone circuit, it offers a wide range of tonal options, making it ideal for jazz, blues, and rock styles. The Fusion's comfortable neck profile and elegant appointments, including intricate inlays and premium finishes, enhance its playability and visual appeal. Although produced for a limited time, the Howard Roberts Fusion has become a sought-after model among collectors and musicians, appreciated for its craftsmanship, versatility, and connection to one of jazz's influential figures.
