NGD: 3x Ormsby's. Copper Top Hype GTR, Demanufacture Sig, Evertune Hype GTI

[7StringKrishnaCore]

So I got these in, I'm so happy with them all. They all play amazingly. The action is so low, yet there's no fret buzz or anything, no matter how hard I am picking and such.

The Copper Top is their recent Copper Top run, it's got a set Wenge Neck, a Pale Moon Ebony Fretboard, Swamp Ash body, has the "normal" Ormsby multiscale, 25.5-27.8". The pups are their Blizzard/Concordia set, which they say is based on Randy Rhodes tone on the Tribute live album, but made to be a bit more modern, and I agree fully. I have a Goliath with their Hot Rock and De La Creme pups, and those can do metal amazingly well, but these are definitely their go to metal pickups for anyone wanting Metal most of all honestly. D Shape for the neck.

The Demanufacture is amazing, I can't wait to get a blood camo or other one of the Dino Signatures, his ones with the multiscale seem sick, I have come to like Ormsby's more extreme fanfret over the fanfrets you get with most, and I know Dino's is less, but I still like any multiscale, although I'm gladly surprised that the more extreme fan of Ormsby is something that I turned out not only liking, but preferring. The Machete pickup is insane. Instant Industrial tone with that pup. It's 26.5", bolt on Laminated Rock Maple with Padouk center, Mahogany body, and the 18mm "Consistent D" shape for the neck.

The Hype GTI is also just great, it's made in Indonesia vs Korea, but still WMI and checked at Perth, Aussie as well. It's got an Alder Body, Set Maple Neck, Ebony Fretboard, the Evertune obviously. It also has their Blizzard and Concordia pickup combo, which is now my favourite(I had the set in my Headless Metal V 7 before only, but that's tuned so low I couldn't tell how much was the extremely low tuning vs how much was the pups). The fan fret is less extreme, 25.5-26.2". D shape for the neck.

I can't recommend any of them enough, the Copper Top is my favourite to play overall right now, but the Evertune for only about 1k USD(with the sale, it came out to less than 1k!) is insane, I was looking at getting a Solar or PRS Mark Halcomb with Evertune, both would have cost me about 500-600 more, and this is a better guitar IMO.

Those all look sweet. I love my HypeGTR; been kickin' around for 6 years now and I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon.
How do you like the half fan on the GTI? Seems like it'd be a bit strange having your parallel fret all the way down by the bridge. Any trouble with high note runs?

The Half-fan takes a bit of getting used to, but it's honestly enjoyable as well. Just took me about 10-15 minutes or so to get used to it, and I was playing fine. I can switch back and forth fine as well. Don't think it'll be an issue, even if I set it away for a bit, which I doubt I will, the evertune is going to keep me on it so much.

I haven't done a TON of high-note runs yet, but I have been able to play a few higher note riffs and some solos just fine.


Yea, the Hype GTR is amazing. I want to get a custom shop Hypemachine when I can. I am planning on getting one of every model from Ormsby, that's how much they impressed me. I was looking at SO many guitars to get around Christmas/New Years, and Ormsby impressed me so much with the Goliath I had to try it, and it's my favourite(I've since gotten two Strandbergs, and I prefer the Goliath overall, I do love the Strandberg neck though) guitar honestly. I never spent over 1k on a guitar, until the Goliath(MSRP, I have spent over with upgrades, and even taxes with one of my Orville's), I'm so impressed by them I keep going back. I don't want to be a shill, but they have treated me amazingly, and each guitar has been just so amazing, IDK how I couldn't keep coming back.

God damn! I've never seen PME paired with a complex top that looks good. But the Copper Top with PME looks freaking sweet!

The top is a print right? Is it like a vinyl or does it have a clear over it?

 

[BusinessMan]

Nice. I’m very interested in the demanufacture sig (could you tell me more about it) or maybe one of the blood camo ones. I missed the dcm100 run Ibanez did

yes, the top is a photo print with a thin satin finish over it. Real copper tops are expensive and hard to work on, and they all look completely different, it will be almost impossible to do them in a mass produced batch. So they are reserved for custom builds only. This way all the guitar can look the same/consistent which it was the idea with the first copper run, to replicate the look of the first copper top Hype as much as possible which was one of the most famous Hypemachines we had

I took some high ress photos of a couple of different real copper sheets and mix them up in photoshop to repplicate the pattern look of that original custom.

I've been GASing hard for the demanufacture sig

 

[Crungy]

Nice haul! The multiscales are cool, I dig the copper top.

The Demanufacture one is sick though, I love their Dino guitars!

I ordered my demanufacture ormsby back in december 2022 and still havent received mine and now they are selling b-stocks of the same model. Ormsbys customer service is a joke

 

[thrsher]

You ordered direct from them?

It's amazing, I love all my WMI korea made Ormsby's(I got the 7 and 8 string dragon burst)

It's amazing, I had an axiom label 7 I returned. It was still on the Old Fishman Moderns, it's been since late last or really early this year for the new ones to come out. Once I'm spending that much money I expect to get such things you know? I don't know why they have to use the old one still. I have a two sets of the moderns and two different guitars, neither has the single coil voicing. I almost bought the Matt Heafy one as It's the exact same as the modern but with a single coil added so like the v2 moderns

Oh wow! You work at Ormsby? That's awesome. I love you guys's work so much. Michael and Jett are awesome at set up work! M

It's a goddamn amazing guitar. I would recommend getting one. I have a friend who got one who is willing to sell it. It's an IRL friend. He's old in age but you can DM me and I can set it up

Nice haul! The multiscales are cool, I dig the copper top.

The Demanufacture one is sick though, I love their Dino guitars!

Oh yeah, I love their Dino guitars too! I can't wait to get every one of them. I'm trying to buy every model of Ormsby. All I have left are the SX and the Futura

I would message them again. They constantly message me back. I could even mention you

I have sent countless messages but they are leading nowhere. I bought mine trough a european retailer and there was some issues with the guitar (they said the quality was quote ”junk”) and its been a nightmare trying to sort it out. Perry of course is an egomaniac who doesnt make mistakes so they think its ok to keep gaslighting me with no intent to fix the situation. Ill make a post when this whole thing gets sorted out which I have no idea when.
