hey fusion is that an american series strat?

Nope. It's japanese. They stopped making them a few years back and I was able to get my hand on the last new one I could find. It's made out of japanese maple. I love the wood that they used on em. The hardware is sub-par american, but after an accident we had when I was playing in Mexico with phosphoric acid, I had to update the hardware anyway. The pickups are a custom setup with hum-buckers in neck and bridge that can be split to single by pulling the relative tone knob out. The guitar only weighs about 4 pounds. Very light.

lol, mine has many scratches. It's just a tool that gets used. They are very nice guitars though, I have enjoyed mine very much. My very first electric was a Epiphone Les Paul. It had some neck issues so I sold it and got this. It since has been one of the best buys I have ever made. I can leave it in cold and hot weather and tug it around and play with it for a week before needing to touch the keys, and even then it is usually only less than a cent or two off. I know other people with strats that do not have this much luck too, so I don't know what's up with mine. They keys also got ruined with the rest of my hardware in Mexico (just not shiny anymore) but I have refused to replace them afraid that it will no longer stay in tune as it does. The weight is nice also, about 4lbs and with a neoprene strap I can hardly tell it is there. Anyway, enough rambling. But yes, if you are considering getting one, I cannot say enough good things about them.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

      Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
