Fame Forum IV Modern 20th Anniversary Burl Emerald Green Gloss #26051808

My Fame Forum IV modern 20th anniversary (color: burl stonewashed blue) arrived yesterday. My first impression: top notch quality for an extremely good price. I also own a PRS and this Fame guitar literally compares to a PRS core guitar in my honest first impression.

At first, I was hesitant to buy a Fame guitar because the brand is unknown here in the Netherlands. But I thought “what the heck” and gave it a try, after seeing the good reviews. Well, the looks are amazing, the fretwork excellent, it sounds great and plays very well. Build quality is top notch. And this “made in Europe”, at 1/3 of the price of a PRS core.

Some small suggestions:

1) no one is waiting for the “20 years” inlay on the fretboard. Normal dots are a bit more convenient.

2) I advise a version with tremolo and tone control, a few more colors, and a similar model but with lower output pickups. That will cover 90% of the needs of guitarists. For sure I would buy another one then

Extremely happy!! Best quality guitar I've had, I like it better than the PRS I had previously. Shipping was fast to Texas, arrived in about 2 weeks.

Great look , great sound , great electronics.

I've REALLY gelled with this guitar. First thing first the wood on this guitar and the craftsmanship are TOP notch. I was not impressed with the electronics the Duncan pickups, while a classic combo, didn't suit my needs. I put shur thornbuckers in right away. While the piezo pickups are graphtech the preamp is not, I changed that out as well. I also added a tone control and removed the piezo switch for a piezo volume (can be done with a mini pot). As you can see I'm super particular about my electronics so I don't fault fame, especially at this price. I will be buy another one! But, can we get a few more color options for the semi hollow!???

Beautiful craftmanship. Almost Challenging the PRS Core model (I have 2 so I can compare).
The fretworks is cut perfectly but needs Bit of additional polishing to round edges and decrease friction with the strings.
Also the Guitar came without Gigbag. As it is the High performance guitar range of FAME, this guitar should come with Gig Bag.
