The Hype GTR is Ormsby's production version of its Australian custom-shop design, released in numbered runs rather than held as a continuous catalogue line.

Watch

YouTube video Ola Englund · 2016-08 — Ola Englund plays metal riffs on a six-string Ormsby Hype GTR multiscale.

Why it matters

Ormsby's own guitars are made in small numbers in Australia, and the GTR line is the production version that puts the shape within reach; each batch is issued as a run. Availability is therefore lumpy, and buyers often wait for a run whose spec suits them. Multi-scale fretboards appear across the range, which is unusual at this money.

Note

The accessible production model (limited "Runs").

Specifications

  • Scale length: 665.5 mm (26.2 in)

Before you buy

  • Runs sell out and specs change between them
