Fame Forum IV Classic Aged Goldtop #23051321

Khaya mahogany body with nitro finish.

For the body construction of the Fame Forum IV Classic Aged solid khaya mahogany and a strong maple top are a proven combination of woods that already gave the legendary instruments of the Late Fifties their unmistakable voice. The top carving provides a comfortable armrest, while the ergonomically designed cutaways make playing in the highest fingerboard positions particularly accessible. Last but not least, the tasteful goldtop nitrocellulose finish with typical nitro lacquer cracks ensures interesting looks on stage.

Seymour Duncan SH-2 Jazz & SH-4 JB

Few pickup combinations are as well-known and popular as Seymour Duncan's classic Jazz/JB setup. The U.S.-wound Seymour Duncan SH-2n Jazz features a warm and transparent character and is the perfect complement to the assertive sound of the Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB in bridge position. Both pickups can furthermore elicit airy-clear single-coil sounds as soon as you switch the separate coil Tap Mini Switch of the Fame Forum IV Classic Aged.

The hardware equipment of the Fame Forum IV Classic Aged Goldtop is completed by six reliable Gotoh tuners and a high-quality GraphTech Black TUSQ nut. In addition, a specially designed Fame Deluxe gig bag for Fame Forum models is part of the equipment of this premium instrument.

Excerpt: Otherwise perfection down to the details. The unvarnished satin surfaces convey an extremely pleasant feel, the ergonomics a high level of playing comfort. Schaller hardware, Seymour Duncan pickups and GraphTech ghost piezo bridge with corresponding Preamp - that's how you score points. Last but not least, both guitars have an absolutely convincing sound and, thanks to their very good vibration characteristics, excellent dynamics and stable Sustain, they serve a wide range of different musical genres.
