OFFLINE Ormsby SX-GTR Shark Limited Edition Multi-Scale, Ocean Dream

Full Description

Extreme comfort and accurate tone

A revolution in comfort and tone. The SX-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 SX-GTR Multi-Scale does in your hands, thanks to Ormsby's 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 GTR is so playable, you'll never want to stop.

Remarkable sound for all players

Unquestionable sonic excellence. The SX-GTR comes equipped with a combination of both single-coil and humbucker pickups to achieve ultimate tonal versatility for all players. Unleash a sensational voice that oozes quality, no matter the style or genre.

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.
