The Fame Forum IV Modern Semi Hollow Honey Burst Satin convinces as a versatile electric guitar with a contemporary full equipment and a high playing comfort. The slim mahogany body in semi-hollow construction with a chic curly maple top assumes a comfortable playing position, while the generous cutaways provide unobstructed access across the entire neck. This is crafted from mahogany and traditionally glued, while the flat “D” profile sits comfortably in the hand, so that every riff or lick comes naturally on the ebony fingerboard. At the amp, 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 between pop, blues and rock, enhanced by authentic single-coil tones thanks to coil-split. The integrated piezo pickup system also provides first-class acoustic guitar sounds, so that there are no limits to tonal diversity and musical expression. A Tune-O-Matic bridge with stopbar tailpiece and precise locking tuners complete the Fame Forum IV Modern Semi Hollow Honey Burst Highgloss.

FAME FORUM IV MODERN HIGHLIGHTS
Seymour Duncan SH-2 & SH-4
With a Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB at the bridge and a Seymour Duncan SH-2n Jazz at the neck, a proven pair of humbuckers is used that delivers the right sound for every genre between blues, pop, rock and even metal. Here, the bridge pickup convinces with a high output and the enormous assertiveness of its sharply focused mids, while the neck pickup brings every note to life with endless sustain and a warm vintage voice. Thanks to the coil-split circuit, authentic single-coil sounds with the typical bell-like clarity of tone are also at hand.
Solid hardware
Last but not least, the Fame Forum IV Modern Semi Hollow convinces with its high-quality hardware equipment, which completes its use on stage and in the studio with unrestricted reliability. From the traditional stopbar tailpiece, the strings are fed through the GraphTech Resomax Tune-O-Matic bridge, whose String Saver graphite tailpieces house the ghost piezo elements. Also from GraphTech is the Black-TUSQ saddle, behind which the strings are held by precise locking mechanisms on the headstock.
Strong mahogany body & curly maple top
The resonance-chambered khaya mahogany body is finished with a soundboard of curly maple, whose unique grain is accentuated by the finish. The highlight is undoubtedly the sharply contoured arching of the top with a recess in the cutaway, which ensures unhindered playability in all registers. Thanks to the perfectly proportioned “D” profile, the Sapelli mahogany neck sits comfortably in the hand, so that every note almost plays itself on the ebony fingerboard.
