Premium tonewoods and ergonomic design
The body of the Fame Forum Custom is made of mahogany and has a two-piece top made of high-contrast and evenly grained curly maple that is glued using the bookmatching principle. The experienced luthiers from Gdansk ensure the strongest possible flame with a three-dimensional depth effect, which is further emphasized by the transparent Finish. The shimmering iridescent mother-of-pearl purfling made of abalone, which is finished with a single layer of cream-colored Binding, creates a further visual depth effect and clear body contours.
Anyone who plays the Fame Forum Custom will be amazed by the slim profile and weight of the instrument, both on the strap and on the lap! For ergonomic reasons, all Hardware of the instrument's pots, bridge and switches are recessed into the top to make Palm Mutes and Pickings as comfortable as possible.
Whether shredder or blues fan: both fast runs and organic bendings are ideally supported by the slim yet contoured 'C' profile of the mahogany neck. The Forum Custom has a flattened neck foot to make it easier to reach the high registers, while the extended neck tenon, which is glued under the neck pickup, underlines values such as Sustain and construction stability.
