FAME BAPHOMET II HIGHLIGHTS

First class woods and superior playability

For the construction of the Fame Baphomet II only hand-selected woods are used, which guarantee optimal sound and playing characteristics. Accordingly, the body made of light Black Limba supports a powerful sound, while the gentle arching guarantees a comfortable fit to the player. The five-piece neck made of mahogany with separating maple veneers is screwed six times for an especially stable connection and offers best playing characteristics with a slim “D” profile over all 24 frets of the Pau Ferro fingerboard.

Fame Baphomet II with indestructible hardware

Last but not least, the Fame Baphomet II 4 is equipped with indestructible hardware that guarantees long-lasting playing pleasure with unlimited functionality. Accordingly, the massive WSC SI4 bass bridge on the body supports the even sound development, while four individual string tabs ensure optimal adjustment of intonation and string position. On the headstock, four encapsulated WSC JB15 tuners ensure accurate and stable tuning of the four-stringer.

MEC pickups and electronics

The electrical tone conversion of the Fame Baphomet II 4 is done by two active MEC Jazz Single Coils. Equipped with ceramic magnets, the pickups convince with a particularly transparent sound that combines a high assertiveness with all-round capabilities for almost every musical style. Besides the volume and balance controls, the Fame Baphomet II 4 also offers an active MEC BEC2 2-band tone control. With treble and bass controls on a double potentiometer, the equaliser allows you to adjust the sound precisely, with first-class musical tuning even at extreme settings.
