The Fame SE Series Big Boy Black Hollowbody electric guitar from the SE Series convinces with classic Tron-style sounds and a traditional hardware finish in gold.
Hollowbody construction made of basswood
The body of the Fame SE Series Big Boy Black is made of vibrant basswood, which provides the best resonance properties in the proven laminate construction. Thanks to the Tone bar installed under the bridge, the hollow body remains free of feedback at slightly higher gain settings, making it feel right at home even in the tonal realms of the typical Blues crunch. In addition, the top was provided with a bar maple veneer, whose three-dimensional flame provides interesting looks.
Fame Tron-Style Humbucker
For sound conversion at the amplifier, the two Fame Tron-style humbuckers are two true old-timers in the neck and bridge position. The double coils with moderate winding and Alnico magnets conjure up a mild vintage output with extremely distinctive midrange warmth, and are able to assert itself appropriately in the band context at any time. Both pickups are switched via two 3-way switches as well as two volume controls and additional treble control.
Bigsby-style Vibrato and die-cast gold finish tuners
The functional and visually appealing hardware equipment of the Fame SE Series Big Boy Black is composed of a versatile adjustable Tune-o-Matic bridge with rosewood base and an additional Bigsby-style Vibrato for shimmering pitch modulations, while six die-cast tuners on the headstock provide absolute tuning stability. All hardware parts are kept in the noble uniform gold finish.

The guitar is visually perfect (mine is White). Upon playing, a few minor faults appeared. 1. Frets - several had rough edges - simple file dressing was all that was necessary 2. Tuning - Bigsby tremolos are notorious for losing tune and this is no exception. I have ordered a roller bridge and Gretch tuners in the hope it will fix the problem. I will also lubricate the Bigsby when installing the new parts . Even with the extra parts cost, the guitar is about the same price as the Harley Benson equivalent. Overall, great value for money and will be a super guitar when fully updated.

Really pleased with this. I was not expecting such a lovely sounding guitar for the price paid. The service from dv247 was also very good. Highly recommend this guitar and dv247
