Pics first. Six in the bright sun, one under indoor lighting.
Don't mind the fingerprints on it. It's darker without direct light.
This is an Ormsby SX GTR (GTR being the made in Korea line), 7-string, that I bought on sale direct from Ormsby. When they first released the mockup renders, I wasn't too fussed because of the wood and it looked gloss, like the gloss seafoam. Only when they were built and the proper photos came out did I realise, oh shit, it's actually metallic lavender. So I got it during the Black Friday sale for 25%. Worth it.
Specs:
[*] Mahogany body
[*] Wenge 3-piece set neck
[*] Wenge fretboard
[*] Stainless steel frets with glow in the dark side dotes
[*] 25.5"-27.8" (or so) scale
[*] Nunchucker bridge, Old School neck (single coil), three-way switch with push-pull for coil split
[*] Locking tuners
[*] 29 frets
My other Ormsbys have either a Hot Rock or Blizzard in the bridge. The Nunchucker is similar, I think it's hotter. They all sound slightly different but similar enough so I can use the same settings. It came with 10-42+54 strings since I didn't preorder it and didn't get to choose the setup. Will replace it with Winspear 9-64 for drop A.
The fret access to the 29th fret is unreal. The carved set neck makes the heel basically non-existent. For some reason, I find this SX to be better playing than my 6-string TX with 29 frets. I've always said that my Ibanez RG2228 with stainless steel frets is my best playing guitar. I think the SX has beaten it.
Sounds good, plays good. What else is there to say.
