The Fame Forum IV presents the most luxurious equipment of the Gdansk smithy and presents itself as a superlative electric guitar. High-quality components from renowned manufacturers such as Schaller or Seymour Duncan come together in Forum IV and form an extremely flexible setup between piezo and humbucker sounds with indestructible hardware in the form of security locks and famous M6 mechanics. Last but not least, the Forum IV series benefits from the best tonewood selection in the form of a fine curly maple top and the best mahogany and rosewood for body and fretboard.
Exquisite, powerful and vivid, the beautifully grained and high-quality curly maple top of the Fame Forum IV Satin SD Translucent Amber shimmers through. For this purpose, of course, only the best maple wood with a present and uniform flame is used. The two-piece surface of the body is finally curved, so that both players and hardware can"dive" into the body for the incomparable playing feel of the Fame Forum IV Satin. Finally, the body is finished with a harmonious natural binding.
Especially for the technicians among us, the neck with its individual profile and the different finish variants is probably the most important aspect when choosing the new instrument. So it was all the more important in Gdansk to design a classic'C' profile in a slim and agile design, but with enough wood for emotional bends. The result is amazingly nimble from headstock to neck foot, while vibrato bendings and the traditional blues attitude of the legendary instruments of the 50s and 60s are easy to play. The glued and satin neck has a long neck pin (Long Neck Tenon), which is glued under the neck pickup and improves sustain, neck position and stability immensely.
Besides tone wood and pickups, the hardware equipment of the Fame Forum IV SD satin can also be seen! The popular combination of a TOM-Style GTM piezo bridge with stopbar comes from the traditional Schaller company as well as the famous M6 tuners at the other end of the instrument, which stand for many years of functional readiness. The solid machine heads with wear-free brass adjusting axles are still considered the model par excellence for classic closed machine heads. All hardware of the Fame Forum IV comes in a uniform chrome design!
He is one of the great pioneers in the development of electric guitars: Seymour Duncan is inseparably linked to his innovations and has become synonymous with the convincing and articulative sound of his pickups. Fames Forum IV SD models are equipped with a SH-4 JB Model Humbucker on the bridge and a SH-2n Jazz on the neck. The classic setup from Seymour's US production has been convincing for decades with the perfect sound of modern styles, not least thanks to warm lead voice on the neck and tight and clearly defined punch on the bridge.
If you are looking for the genuine clean sound for softer minutes, you can switch to piezo mode using the volume potentiometer's push/pull function. This activates the piezo pickup in the Schaller GTM piezo bridge.
