About Ormsby Guitars

Ormsby Guitars are an Australian brand of electric guitars and basses. Known for their unorthodox designs and finishes, Ormsby guitars are popular in more extreme forms of music such as metal and fusion. Ormsby make 6-string, 7-string and 8-string guitars including multiscale models and headless guitars. Ormsby create custom guitars in Australia and GTR line guitars, which are production instruments. Both custom and GTR guitars are created in ‘runs’ that are only available in limited numbers before being retired in favour of a fresh new run. This leads to variety and collectability for fans of the brand.

Ormsby guitars have very unusual body shapes and loud finishes. Technical players love Ormsby because of the fan-fretted multi-scale design. They are a company who seem happy to offer a genuine alternative to the norm.

Frequently Asked Questions about Ormsby Guitars

Question: Are Ormsby guitars any good?

Yes, Ormsby guitars are known across the industry as well-made, spectacular looking guitars that perform extremely well and sound great.

Question: Why are Ormsby guitars in such short supply?

Ormsby makes their GTR guitars in short 'runs'. Their online community of players and fans (and us!) votes on details including hardware and colours. After this has been decided, pre-orders open (for dealers like us) and the guitars are then made in World Music Instruments' factory in Korea. When these runs sell out, the run is complete and the process begins again! This ensures that there are always fresh designs around. It also makes the company far more efficient, meaning the guitars are more affordable.
