There’s nothing guitarists at Sweetwater love more than a top-shelf acoustic-electric instrument. Case in point: when the Forum RN GT EQ arrived on campus, it quickly became the talk of the town. With a smooth, comfortable body and an easy-to-maneuver neck, the Forum emits a classic acoustic tone with a sharp attitude. The introduction of a Fishman Presys VT and under-saddle piezo pickup combo allows this guitar to lend its unique sound to the stage or studio. The Forum not only looks like a musical work of art ? it sounds like one, too.





Ripe with sonic potential





Thanks to its marriage of Sitka spruce and mahogany tonewoods, the Forum RN GT EQ delivers a robust tone with deep lows and a balanced midrange. Take into account its smooth “C” shape mahogany neck with a gloss finish, and this guitar boasts incredible playability with versatile sound. It also features a traditional X-bracing pattern, granting a classic acoustic sound while adding to the Forum’s structural integrity. Top everything off with a set of TUSQ ratio tuning machines and a Graph Tech nut, and the Forum RN GT EQ becomes a bonafide instrument for discerning players, both traditional and modern.





Under-the-hood piezo pickup and Fishman electronics





Fishman's credibility is second to none when it comes to under-saddle pickup and electronics systems. In the case of the Forum RN GT EQ, a Fishman Presys VT preamp and under-saddle piezo pickup are more than capable of faithfully boosting the voice of your instrument. The onboard volume and tone knobs allow you to fine-tune your output for whatever application you wish.
