High playability and careful tonewood selection
The Fame Forum IV Limited 25 is made by experienced luthiers in Europe and therefore impresses with its careful selection of tonewoods and flawless workmanship. The body is made from khaya mahogany with a top made from curly maple, the unique grain of which is emphasized by the high-gloss finish. The elegant highlight here is undoubtedly the sharply contoured curvature of the top with a recess in the cutaway, which ensures unhindered playability across all positions.

Seymour Duncan humbucker and coil split
Thanks to the versatile pickup configuration, the Fame Forum IV is particularly flexible in terms of sound. With a Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB on the bridge and a Seymour Duncan SH-2n Jazz on the neck, a proven pair of humbuckers is used to deliver the right sound for every genre between blues, pop, rock and even metal. The bridge pickup impresses with a high Output and the enormous assertiveness of its sharply focused mids, while the neck pickup brings every note to life with endless Sustain and a warm vintage voice. Thanks to the coil-split circuit, authentic single-coil sounds with the typical bell-like, clear sound development are also available.
The push/pull volume control activates the piezo pickup, while the mini-switch allows the humbuckers to be split.
GraphTech Ghost piezo pickup system
In addition to the magnetic pickups, the Fame Forum IV Limited 25 is equipped with a GraphTech Ghost piezo pick up system, which is integrated into the bridge and has an active preamp. The system is activated via a pull on the front volume control and delivers authentic acoustic guitar sounds with brilliant highs and the typical attack behavior on the amplifier. The volume of the piezo system can be adjusted via the rear potentiometer so that mixed sounds with the magnetic Seymour Duncan pickups are also possible.

Excerpt: Otherwise, perfection down to the last detail. The unlacquered 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 plus points. Last but not least, the sound of both guitars is absolutely convincing and, thanks to their very good resonance characteristics, excellent dynamics and stable Sustain, they can also be used for a wide range of different musical genres.
