Forum IV Classic (Stonewashed Blue Satin)
Fame Forum IV Classic Electric Guitar (Stonewashed Blue Satin)
The Fame Forum IV Classic (Stonewashed Blue Satin) is a traditional 6-string Electric Guitar with contemporary equipment and a high playing comfort. The slender Mahogany body and Flamed Maple top offers a comfortable playing position, while the generous cut-away offers unhindered access over the entire neck. This is made of Mahogany and traditionally glued, whilst the slim "D" profile lies comfortably in the hand, the Ebony fingerboard more than suitable for advanced techniques. The proven combination of a Seymour Duncan SH-2n Jazz on the neck and an SH-4 JB on the bridge deliver a wide-ranging tone, and can be tailored for Pop, Blues or Rock (enhanced with authentic single coil sounds thanks to Coil Split). A Schaller Tune-O-Matic bridge with stop-bar tailpiece and precise M6 locking mechanisms from the same manufacturer complete the Fame Forum IV Classic.
Tone Wood Selection The Fame Forum IV Classic is manufactured by experienced Guitar builders in Europe and therefore takes tone wood selection seriously, in order to facilitate flawless workmanship. The body is made of Khaya Mahogany with a Maple top. Without a doubt, the highlight here is the sharply contoured curvature of the top with a cutaway, which ensures unhindered playability across all registers. Thanks to the perfectly proportioned "D" profile, the neck (made of Sapelli Mahogany) lies comfortably in the hand, perfectly accommodating the Ebony fingerboard.
Seymour Duncan Humbuckers Thanks to the pick-up selection, the Fame Forum IV Classic is particularly flexible in sound. With a Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB on the bridge and a Seymour Duncan SH-2n Jazz on the neck, the Fame Forum IV Classic uses a pair of humbuckers to deliver the right sound for every genre between Blues, Pop, Rock and even Metal. The bridge pick-up is high output with enormous assertiveness and sharply focused mids, whilst the neck pick-up 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 clear sound unfolding are also available.
Hardware Selection The Fame Forum IV Classic is equipped with solid and reliable hardware from German parts manufacturer Schaller. Robust Schaller M6 tuners provide both durability and tuning stability, while the famous Security Locks guarantee safe performances on stage. A classic combination of Schaller Tune-o-Matic and Stopbar ultimately offers a resonant connection to the body and adjustment options for intonation and string position.

The combination of Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB Humbucker and Seymour Duncan P90 Soapbar elicits a wide tonal palette from the Fame Forum IV Classic P90.
Seymour Duncan USA pickup with coil split option.
The Fame Forum IV Classic P90 combines classic humbucker sounds for steamy riffs of the Blues to hard rock in bridge position and vocal, expressive neck sounds of the single coil in P90 format. The Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB humbucker, which has been tried and tested for 40 years now, operates in the classic Hot-Rod manner with increased Output and a well-resolved frequency spectrum, while the Seymour Duncan P90 Sopabar aptly complements the distinctive sound of the neck position with its pronounced high mids. The additional Mini Switch also provides a coil-split option for the bridge humbucker, which can also elicit softer sounds with attack-rich response from the Fame Forum IV Classic P90 if required.
This is my second Fame Forum, I have the P90 classic too.
Both are excellent guitars, the only thing I can find wrong is on this one you can see some of the blue around the edge on the mahogany body near the carve where they either didn’t mask properly or didn’t clean it properly after, but it’s hard to see.
The satin finish on this means the neck feels absolutely amazing! Although both have the same bridge pickup, I think the uncovered one in the other guitar sounds fuller.
There are no better value guitars than the Fame Forum in the world right now, I play it alongside my PRS Custom 22 (real one, but an SE).
