Key Features
There are plenty of guitars out there that'll try and tell you they're different. But this one really is. The Ormsby Hype GTR Multi-Scale 6 isn't about norms or conforming to industry standards. It's about challenging them - all to achieve an instrument that plays, sounds, and feels a cut above. It features Ormsby's remarkable multi-scale design, and as a result, this guitar is a total revelation.
Multi-scale means that each string has a different scale length, optimising the intonation of each individual string and producing a fuller, richer tone than that you'd get from a standard scale guitar. It also means you get a fanned-fret fingerboard - the frets actually morph to the shape of your hand. The result? Unbelievable comfort that makes playing feel effortless. With top-quality Custom Shop humbuckers and a premium tonewood construction to boot, this is an instrument that'll change the way you play. For the better.

A revolution in comfort and tone. The Hype 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's never been a guitar that fits as flawlessly as the Hype Multi-Scale does in your hands, thanks to Ormsby's acutely designed fanned frets. The frets stretch out at gradually increasing angles from a straight fret at the 9th fret position. Ormsby's extensive research 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 all points along the neck. Your hand will always be in a natural, comfortable position. Playing this is effortless.
That perfect playing experience is only half the story. Because this is an electric guitar. And you can bet your last penny that it's capable of giving you a huge, dominating sound that'll leave any audience breathless. With a pair of Ormsby Custom Shop humbuckers, the Hype GTR has all of that distinctive humbucking tone that'll make everything you play sound simply massive. And these pickups are designed to eliminate noisy interference at even the highest output levels - so you can crank the volume way up high without having to worry about your signal being negatively affected.
Ormsby have made sure to use only the most premium materials in crafting the Hype GTR Multi-Scale. This guitar sees a trio of top-quality tonewoods combined to deliver both a stunning sound and fantastic feel. Swamp ash used for the body is lightweight, so reduces the strain you might get from standing and playing for long periods of time. It's also tough and durable - ready for the bumps and knocks life on the road may throw at it. The flamed maple body top adds an exquisite touch of aesthetic class to the Hype, while you'll find precise definition and smooth playability is provided by an ebony fingerboard.
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.
