Electro acoustic guitar in Grand Auditorium design with cutaway and Fishman pickup system
The Fame A-60 acoustic guitar produces a balanced and voluminous sound thanks to its medium-sized Grand Auditorium design, which unfolds particularly quickly and extensively with the help of a double-top construction. The wafer-thin cedar top colors the individual frequency ranges with a pleasant warmth, so that the instrument is excellently suited for expressive strummings and fine Pickings. Due to the generous cutaway, the flat neck can be reached optimally and comfortably in all frets and thus offers the possibility to master even complex chords and solos easily. In addition, the round rosewood armrest guarantees an obliging handling in standing as well as in sitting position. The headstock is equipped with open tuners that allow precise tuning of the 6 steel strings. In addition, a high-quality hardware made of bone ensures a clean intonation on the entire scale length of 650 mm. The Fame A-60 is rounded off by a Fishman Sonitone pickup, which makes the instrument suitable for stage use.

Construction and woods
The thin, solid cedar top produces a very warm and powerful sound, so the Grand Auditorium has both rich bass and defined midrange frequencies. As a result, the instrument is versatile and covers a wide range of genres authentically. In addition, the Cutaway gives the player optimized access to the highest of the 20 frets, which are set into an ebony fingerboard. Thus, the flat mahogany neck promises a decidedly obliging playing comfort.

Hardware and Design
For easy and precise string tuning, the Fame A-60 is equipped with chrome-plated open-gear tuners. The 42.9 mm nut and compensated bone saddle also guarantee clean intonation over the entire 650 mm scale length. Visually, the instrument is rounded off by filigree multi-ply bindings that separate the individual components of the body. The fretboard features a large abalone mountain inlay that creates a pleasant contrast to the dark ebony.

I instantly fell in love with Fame A-60 for its armrest, rosette, open gear tuners and mountains inlay:) IMO, this guitar looks way more expensive than it actually costs. Solid cedar top and grand auditorium shape gave me the sound I've been searching for to compliment my singing voice.
Fretwork, action and intonation are really good from the box, thanks, musicstore!
Yes, there's some optic and craftsmanship flaws, but they're barely noticeable. And the sound of this guitar makes me forget about this imperfections.
All in all, the guitar is just amazing, especially for the price! Many many thanks, musicstore.de!
