With the Fame Forum IV Classic Deluxe Top, Fame offers the popular Forum IV Classic model with a unique top. The exclusive Western Maple is used for this, whose grain impressively combines exotic highlights in the form of classic cloud patterns and mineral streaks. The instrument with a particularly powerful body made of Khaya mahogany presents the sound of two Seymour Duncan USA humbuckers and offers ideal conditions for advanced playing techniques with professional frets in medium jumbo format, classic 24.75" scale and 12" radius. Last but not least, the hardware equipment of the Fame Forum IV Classic Deluxe Top is made up of high-quality components from Schaller and Gotoh.
The basic construction of the Fame Forum IV Classic Deluxe Top is based on a strong body of Khaya mahogany. The African wood offers classic sound characteristics of the mahogany body with a warm sound and presents a noble shimmering grain. This is glued to a Sapelli neck with a flat 'D' profile and a classic high-gloss finish for a smooth feel and the right amount of wood behind the fingerboard for every playing technique.
Especially for the Fame Forum IV Classic Deluxe Top series high-quality Western Maple tops are used. The exquisite wood shows a broad spectrum of impressive grains with three-dimensional depth and offers astonishing optical details between the classic maple flame and the three-dimensional cloud pattern. Every single Deluxe Top wooden top was hand-selected by us in order to present as many different maple tops as possible.
With the proven combination of two classic pickups from the US market leader Seymour Duncan, a powerful and flexible sound is achieved. The Seymour Duncan SH-2n Jazz neck humbucker delivers warm and characterful neck sounds with balanced output for woody clean and vocal leads. On the bridge, a Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB Humbucker is a true classic. Built for four decades, the humbucker is the ideal partner for hot-roded sounds of blues, rock and thrash. Thanks to the coil split option via mini switch, airy, clear sounds of classic single coils can also be produced without any problems.
