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 20th anniversary of the Fame brand as a strictly limited special model with premium tonewoods, contemporary full equipment and exceptional playing comfort. The slim mahogany body with an elegant poplar burl top not only shows off its striking visual details but also offers a comfortable playing position, with the generous cutaways providing unrestricted access along the entire neck. This neck is made from mahogany and traditionally glued, while the flat D profile rests naturally in the hand so that every riff or lick on the ebony fingerboard feels effortless. At the amplifier, the proven combination of a Seymour Duncan SH-2n Jazz at the neck and a Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB at the bridge delivers versatile sounds from pop and blues to rock, further expanded by a coil split for authentic single coil tones. The integrated piezo pickup system also produces first class acoustic guitar sounds, ensuring unlimited 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 Charcoal Gloss.

High playability and careful wood selection
Built by experienced luthiers in Europe, the Fame Forum IV Modern 20th Anniversary Burl impresses with meticulous wood selection and flawless workmanship. The body is crafted from khaya mahogany with a poplar burl top whose unique grain is highlighted by the finish. An elegant feature is the sharply contoured top with a recess at the cutaway that ensures effortless playability in every position. The sapele mahogany neck fits perfectly in the hand thanks to its well proportioned D profile so that every note on the ebony fingerboard almost 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 excels in a wide range of styles. 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 provides the right sound for genres from blues and pop to rock and even metal. The bridge pickup impresses with high output and powerful mids, while the neck pickup offers warm vintage character and endless sustain. The coil split circuit also delivers authentic single coil sounds with clear, bell like articulation.
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
Alongside 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. Activated by pulling the front volume control, it delivers genuine acoustic guitar tones with sparkling highs and natural attack. The rear potentiometer lets you adjust the piezo volume to create blended sounds with the magnetic Seymour Duncan pickups.
The Fame Forum IV Modern 20th Anniversary Burl Stonewashed Charcoal Gloss has a body made of khaya mahogany, while the glued neck is made of sapele mahogany.
The Fame Forum IV Modern 20th Anniversary is equipped with Gotoh locking tuners for precise tuning and quick string changes.
Hardware from Gotoh and GraphTech
Finally, the Fame Forum IV Modern 20th Anniversary Burl is equipped with high quality hardware that performs reliably on stage and in the studio. Strings run from the traditional stopbar tailpiece over a GraphTech Resomax Tune-O-Matic bridge whose graphite string savers hold the Ghost piezo elements. A Black TUSQ nut and precise Gotoh locking tuners ensure stable tuning and smooth operation.

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.
Stars such as Peter Maffay, the 'guitar teacher of the nation' Peter Bursch, solo guitarist Andy Susemihl, JB Meijers and lead guitarist Anna of the Ukrainian girl rock band 'The Sixsters' play the Fame Forum.
