CP Thornton Fusion Review

I just unpacked my new guitar, a CP Thornton Fusion. I picked the Creme w/ Mint pickguard. My first impressions are that the guitar balances better standing up than any Strat I've ever played, its lightweight and has a great tone unplugged. What sets this guitar apart is the neck. The finish is so perfect ont the dark amber colored mapled neck, it feels VERY slick, its probably THE best feeling neck I've ever played bar none. The frets are perfectly polished, bends notes effortlessly. The guitar is so ergonomic that I've noticed something different that I do when I play Strats. I've noticed that I have a tendancy to lean the body in towards my body to get a better "angle of attack" while playing aggressively. The fusion is a very cool design, I would highly recommend trying one out. I've had ALOT of Strats over the years and this one plays better, sounds better, and is more comfortable than any other I've played. CP Thornton has definately learned to build a better mousetrap!
