Extreme comfort and accurate tone

A revolution in comfort and tone. The TX Carbon GTR features a multi-scale design with fanned frets, providing the player with optimum playability and incredible tone. Ormsby's remarkable multi-scale design has been developed over 10 years to deliver the most stunning, thrilling playing experience possible.

Each string has its own scale length, giving each note you play on every string perfect tonal sharpness. For example, the bass strings don't stretch as much as they would on a standard guitar when you hit them with force. This decreases the pitch increase you often get on lower strings when striking them aggressively. Intonation stays unbelievably accurate, no matter how energetically you play.

Then there's the feel. There have never been guitars that fit your hands as flawlessly as the Ormsby GTR Multi-Scale models, thanks to acutely designed fanned frets. The fretboards stretch out at gradually increasing angles from a straight fret at the 9th fret position. Ormsby's extensive research in developing the multi-scale revealed that this is the most natural resting position for the majority of guitarists. The frets then spread at angles from this central point to align with the shape of your wrist at various points along the neck. This completely eliminates cramp, and allows you to play on and on for as long as possible. This is just as well - the TX Carbon is so playable, you'll never want to stop.

Pitch perfect with durable bone nut

The perfect tuning, for years to come. The key to achieving complete sonic brilliance. A hard-wearing, long-lasting bone nut locks your strings in place. Your tune will stay flawless for longer, eliminating the need for irritating re-tuning between songs. Bone is incredibly strong, and is the go-to premium material for manufacturing the nuts of the very best guitars in existence. Its strength also means the nut will last for many years, protecting your strings and removing the hassle of having to regularly replace the nut, as is the case with some weaker nut materials. Discover faultless precision in sound.

Wide-reaching pickups for any sound

Brightness and vintage power. The TX Carbon comes loaded with a combination pair of Ormsby pickups, providing rich tone and gorgeous clarity. This extremely versatile electronic setup gives an amazing overall voice to your guitar. Your playing will sparkle with quality, no matter your style or genre.

The Old School A5 single-coil pickup in the neck masterfully delivers clean, sharp tones. A classic all-rounder. The Old School will give industry-leading definition to lead and rhythm playing alike, with outstanding brightness in every note. A PVH A5 Humbucker acts as the bridge pickup. It's through this that the Ormsby TX GTR really finds its sound. PVH stands for Perry's Vintage Humbucker, and as the name suggests, is the favourite of the company's creator, Perry Ormsby. This is a pickup capable of everything. Achieve singing, piercing lead notes. Inject immense, crunchy rhythm tones with overdriven bite. All-encompassing sound.

Smooth, fast-playing fingerboard

Electrifying speed. Essential for unleashing exhilarating power in your music. Ormsby know this. That's why they've fitted the TX Carbon GTR with an ultra-smooth, super-fast ebony fingerboard - to give your playing that extra energetic edge. Your hand will glide up and down the neck, hitting notes rapidly and comfortably. You'll be able to shred with ease. But Ormsby aren't done making the TX GTR superbly playable yet. To add even more whirlwind pace to your playing, they've applied a hard oiled finish to the neck. Thrill listeners. Thrill audiences. Thrill yourself.

The Ormsby story

A tireless journey to craft the perfect guitar. Perry Ormsby was a talented carpenter for years before starting Ormsby Guitars. He would repeatedly promise to himself that he'd one day use his carpentry skills to make a fantastic guitar. The dream would eventually become a reality when Perry decided to give up everything, quit his job, sell his house, and chase his fantasy.

He never looked back. Shortly after crafting his very first model, word spread amongst guitarists, and Ormsby soon had an instrument waiting list of over two years. With the amazing multi-scale development, the company has gone from strength to strength. Their guitars are particularly popular within metal and hard rock genres, but are also suitable for blues and punk playing due to their magnificent playability. Original models crafted with love, passion, and extreme attention-to-detail.
