Alder body with burl poplar top

The visual highlight of the Fame PB is immediately striking. The classic alder body is topped with a two-piece poplar burl top, whose intricate figuring catches the eye. The precise bookmatching ensures the top has a symmetrical, one-of-a-kind look. Despite the distinctive top, the Fame PB remains true to its P-style roots, with no additional body binding, allowing the meticulously crafted body transition to stand out. As expected, the body includes ergonomic features like a wide tummy cut on the back and a practical right-arm contour for added comfort.

Roasted maple neck & rosewood fingerboard

The neck of the Fame PB is crafted from thermally treated maple, featuring a slim C-profile that provides a solid foundation for smooth playing on the 20-fret rosewood fingerboard. The luthiers at Fame paid close attention to the wood selection: the growth rings of the neck extend from the headstock to the neck foot, offering increased resistance to weather-related deformation. With a classic nut width of 41.5 mm and a 10" fretboard radius, the familiar feel of the neck is evident from the first note.

Seymour Duncan SPB-3 Quarter Pound

As with many of its counterparts, the Fame PB Burl Top draws its impressive tonal flexibility from a single split coil pickup, positioned centrally between the bridge and neck heel. The Seymour Duncan SPB-3 Quarter Pound pickup features larger Alnico-V pole pieces that deliver extra attack and enhanced power, thanks to its hot coil windings. However, it's important to note that the SPB-3 also produces softer tones with added depth when needed. The PB's electronics are traditionally passive, featuring a volume control and a treble control to tame any overly bright highs.
