Typically equipped with humbucking pickups, a comfortable neck profile, and a slightly smaller body size than traditional jazz boxes, it was built to handle a wide range of styles—from smooth jazz to fusion, rock, and studio work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnown for its warm, articulate tone and versatility, the Howard Roberts Fusion became popular among session players who needed a guitar capable of covering multiple genres. Later versions (Fusion II and III) refined the design, but all remain appreciated today as unique, high-quality vintage Gibson instruments with a strong jazz heritage and modern flexibility.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48385692893439,"sku":"P009245S","price":3895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0489\/9300\/9827\/files\/1980-Gibson-Howard-Roberts-Fusion-Hollowbody-Imperial-Vintage-Guitars-Sell_0066.jpg?v=1775776681","url":"https:\/\/www.imperialvintageguitars.com\/products\/1980-gibson-howard-roberts-fusion-tobacco-sunburst-w-ohsc","provider":"Imperial Vintage Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
