Productdetails
The mighty Hype GTR!
Ormsby’s most infamous model… it’s aggressive, lightweight, and build for the rigours of touring.
NB – mockup shows 7 string version – this will be updated when the 8 string guitar is available.
Hype GTR:
The fanned arrangement of the Multiscale fretboard creates scale lengths for each individual string. We generally call this the “spread”. For the GTR range, the spread is as follows:
Six string: 25.5? – 27.5? Multiscale
Seven string: 25.5? – 27.8? Multiscale
Eight string: 25.5?-28.3? Multiscale
Body dimensions (thickness): 38mm. For comparison, Jacksons, Ibanez RG, Fender Strats, etc are generally 47mm.
Neck shape: 19.0mm @ 1st, 21 @ 17th, D shape with round shoulders. AKA “thin U”
HARDWARE
Ormsby’s own proprietary Multiscale bridge and locking machine heads.
TONE
An Ormsby Hot Rock A8 model Humbucker (13.4k approximate DC resistance) features pride of place in the bridge position, with a De La Creme A2 (8.0k approximate DC resistance) in the neck. Both of these pickups are made to Ormsby’s specifications by our partners in Korea. 500k pots for volume, a 3 way toggle, and 500k push/pull tone pot for coil splitting. Tusq nut.
