FAME Forum IV Modern 20th Anniversary - Exclusive electric guitar in Stonewashed Charcoal Gloss

The Fame Forum IV Modern 20th Anniversary Burl Stonewashed Charcoal Gloss celebrates the brand’s 20th anniversary with a strictly limited edition model. It features premium tonewoods, modern specifications, and outstanding playability. The slim mahogany body, paired with a stylish poplar burl top, not only enhances its visual appeal but also offers a comfortable playing experience. Generous cutaways provide unobstructed access across the entire neck, which is made of mahogany and glued using traditional methods. The flat “D” profile neck rests comfortably in the hand, making each riff or lick on the ebony fingerboard feel effortless.

The amplifier comes alive with the classic combination of a Seymour Duncan SH-2n Jazz in the neck position and a Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB in the bridge, delivering a broad range of tones from pop and blues to rock. The Coil-Split feature expands the tonal palette by offering authentic single-coil sounds. Additionally, the integrated piezo pickup system provides top-tier acoustic guitar tones, ensuring limitless tonal variety and musical expression. A Tune-O-Matic bridge with a stopbar tailpiece and precise Gotoh locking tuners complete the Fame Forum IV Modern 20th Anniversary Burl Stonewashed Charcoal Gloss.

High playability and careful wood selection

Crafted by experienced luthiers in Europe, the Fame Forum IV Modern 20th Anniversary Burl stands out for its meticulous wood selection and flawless craftsmanship. The body is made from khaya mahogany with a poplar burl top, whose unique grain is beautifully accentuated by the finish. A standout feature is the sharply contoured curvature of the top, with a recess in the cutaway that allows unhindered playability across all positions. The sapele mahogany neck, with its perfectly proportioned "D" profile, feels comfortable in the hand, ensuring that every note on the ebony fingerboard practically plays itself.

With two Seymour Duncan humbuckers and a piezo pickup system in the bridge, the Fame Forum IV Modern 20th Anniversary Burl delivers versatile sounds.

Seymour Duncan humbucker for sounds between Blues and rock

Thanks to its versatile pickup configuration, the Fame Forum IV Modern is incredibly flexible in terms of sound. Featuring a Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB at the bridge and a Seymour Duncan SH-2n Jazz at the neck, this proven humbucker combination delivers the perfect tone for genres ranging from blues and pop to rock and even metal. The bridge pickup offers a high output with a sharp focus on mids, while the neck pickup delivers endless sustain and a warm, vintage tone. Additionally, the coil-split circuit offers authentic single-coil sounds with a bell-like clarity.

The front volume control is designed as a push/pull pot and activates the piezo. The humbuckers can be split into single coils using the mini switch.

Piezo pickup system

In addition to the magnetic pickups, the Fame Forum IV Modern 20th Anniversary features a GraphTech Ghost piezo pickup system, integrated into the bridge with an active preamp. The system is activated by pulling the front volume control, delivering authentic acoustic guitar tones with brilliant highs and dynamic attack through the amplifier. The piezo system’s volume can be adjusted via the rear potentiometer, allowing for a mix of sounds between the magnetic Seymour Duncan pickups and the piezo.

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.
