The Ormsby Goliath is a multiscale electric built in 6-, 7- and 8-string form, sold in production runs rather than as a continuous line.
Watch
Why it matters
Ormsby designs around fanned frets instead of adding them to a conventional instrument, and the Goliath is the model that carries that idea across the widest range of string counts. It gives players a reference point when comparing imported multiscale guitars, particularly in extended ranges where a longer bass side helps tension. Because runs sell in batches, availability and finish options change through the year.
Note
The signature multiscale platform (6/7/8+).

Before you buy
