The Forum Custom is the flagship of the premium guitar forgery of M-Guitars in Danzig. The best tone woods, hand-wound Seymour Duncan USA pickups and first-class hardware from the German manufacturer Schaller, are combined with refinements such as Abalone bindings, gold-plating and a carefully applied transparent Burst finish. Fame Forum Custom – a premium guitar!
The body of the Fame Forum Custom consists of mahogany and features a two-piece top made from high-contrast and evenly grained quilted maple. The experienced guitar builders in Danzig select for a particularly powerful grain with a three-dimension depth effect, which is highlighted by the illuminating Burst finish. An additional optical depth effect as well as clear body contours is created by the shimmering iridescent abalone purfling, which is rounded off by a cream-coloured binding.
Whoever plays the Forum Custom, whether strapped over your shoulder or resting in your lap, will amazed by the sleek profile and weight of this instrument! All of the hardware of this instrument including knobs, the bridge and switches are recessed into the top for ergonomic purposes, to make palm muting and picking as comfortable as possible.
Regardless if shredder or Blues fan: fast runs as well as organic bendings are ideally supported by the slim, yet contoured ‘C’ profile of the mahogany neck. To reach even the highest frets, the Forum Custom features a flattened neck heel block, while neck tenon was extended and even reaches under the neck pickup which also helps to improve sustain and construction stability.
Classic Rock sounds, singing Blues Leads and aggressive metal riffs are the bread and butter of the classic Seymour Duncan combination of a SH-4b JB model humbuckers in bridge position and a SH-2n Jazz pickup in the neck position. These pickups are wound by hand in the USA and are composed of Alnico 5 magnets and ensure for a balanced output with impressive pressure, without losing their dynamic headroom.
Of course there were also no compromises made with the hardware: this premium guitar is completely equipped with high quality Schaller Parts and features a GTM Piezo bridge with GraphTech saddles, solid Schaller M6 clamping tuners with Backlocking function and preinstalled security locks for secure stage performances. All of the hardware components are plated with 24 carat gold. When we talk about premium hardware, this is what we mean!
Includes Schaller Security Locks, Allen key and handbook!

Fame Forum Custom Maple Top TRD Transparent RedBought this exact model for my son, so my "review" as such is actually forwarded impressions from 2 others for what its worth.
My son got this as an upgrade to his previous Hagstrom. Not knowing that much about the model or brand, it was bit of a gamble.
As it turns out, a major leap in his playing ability has occurred. Actually states issues with going back to the other one. His guitar tutor, a semi-pro with years in the business was actually somewhat awestruck by this guitar.
In his words, having quite the collection, he felt the Fame custom surpassed vintage 3-4.000 euro guitar he has in sound and handling. Value for money for sure.
