The Fame Forum IV Modern 20th Anniversary Burl Stonewashed Blue Gloss celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Fame brand as a strictly limited special model featuring premium tonewoods, modern equipment, and exceptional playing comfort. The slim mahogany body with an elegant poplar burl top not only showcases its striking visual details but also ensures a comfortable playing position, with generous cutaways providing unrestricted access across the entire neck. The neck is made from mahogany and traditionally glued, while the flat "D" profile fits naturally in the hand, allowing every riff or lick on the ebony fingerboard to flow effortlessly. When connected to an amplifier, the trusted combination of a Seymour Duncan SH-2n Jazz at the neck and a Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB at the bridge delivers versatile tones ranging from pop and blues to rock, further enhanced by coil-split functionality for authentic single-coil sounds. The integrated piezo pickup system also offers first-class acoustic tones, ensuring unlimited possibilities for tonal variety and musical expression. A Tune-O-Matic bridge with stopbar tailpiece and precise Gotoh locking tuners complete the Fame Forum IV Modern 20th Anniversary Burl Stonewashed Blue Gloss.
The Fame Forum IV Modern 20th Anniversary Burl is crafted by experienced luthiers in Europe and stands out for its meticulous wood selection and flawless workmanship. The body is made of khaya mahogany with a poplar burl top, whose unique grain is beautifully highlighted by the finish. The sharply contoured top with its cutaway recess ensures effortless playability across all registers and serves as an elegant visual highlight. The sapele mahogany neck rests comfortably in the hand thanks to its perfectly proportioned "D" profile, allowing every note on the ebony fingerboard to flow with ease.
Thanks to its versatile pickup configuration, the Fame Forum IV Modern offers exceptional tonal flexibility. Equipped with a Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB at the bridge and a Seymour Duncan SH-2n Jazz at the neck, this proven pair of humbuckers delivers the perfect sound for genres ranging from blues and pop to rock and even metal. The bridge pickup stands out with its high output and the powerful presence of its sharply defined mids, while the neck pickup brings each note to life with rich sustain and a warm vintage character. The coil-split circuit also provides authentic single-coil tones with the characteristic clear, bell-like sound.
In addition to its 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 and produces authentic acoustic guitar tones with sparkling highs and the characteristic attack response when amplified. The piezo system’s volume can be adjusted using the rear potentiometer, allowing seamless blending with the magnetic Seymour Duncan pickups for versatile mixed tones.
Last but not least, the Fame Forum IV Modern 20th Anniversary Burl stands out with its premium hardware that ensures flawless reliability both on stage and in the studio. From the traditional stopbar tailpiece, the strings run over the GraphTech ResoMax Tune-O-Matic bridge, whose graphite string savers house the Ghost piezo elements. The Black TUSQ nut, located just before the headstock, also comes from GraphTech and works in perfect harmony with the precise Gotoh locking tuners for exceptional tuning stability.
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
Fame Forum IV Modern Anniversary 20th Burl Stonewashed Blue Gloss #25101689My 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
amazing instrument sounds fantastic has a great feel looks as good as much more expensive guitars but the guitar was poorly shipped the cardboard was very soft no gig bag was included & there was a chip on the top of the headstock you did refund 50.00 dollars for that & the gig bag arrived today I love the guitar but how it got sent the way it did I'm surprised there wasn't more damage.i still give hot a top rating because the guitar is that good & you addressed the issue quickly
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.
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!???
