Edit description

The Ormsby Guitars Hype GTR 8-string is not just a guitar; it’s a sonic powerhouse designed for musicians who crave extended range and versatility. Crafted with a Mahogany body, this instrument delivers rich, resonant tones that are perfect for both the studio and the stage. The set neck is made from laminated Rock Maple, reinforced with carbon fiber rods, offering unparalleled stability and durability. The Maple fretboard, adorned with black dot inlays and glow-in-the-dark side dots, provides a smooth playing experience from the first fret to the last.

This guitar’s multiscale design ranges from 25.5" to 28.3", allowing for optimal string tension and playability across its eight strings. Combined with jumbo stainless steel frets, players can expect effortless bends and a smooth feel that enhances their expressive capabilities. The custom Ormsby bridge ensures precise intonation and sustain, while the hardware, available in chrome, adds a sleek, modern touch.

Built in collaboration with World Musical Instrument Co. in Korea, each Hype GTR is unique, with no two pieces of wood looking exactly alike. This makes every guitar a distinctive piece of art. Whether you’re shredding through metal riffs or exploring complex jazz chords, the Hype GTR 8-string is engineered to inspire and elevate your musical journey.

Hype GTR 8 Review: Coming from a cheaper Schecter 8 to the ormsby hype 8,... | Ormsby | Electric Guitars | Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com

Ormsby Guitars' Hype GTR 8 string is a stunning piece, marrying beauty with beastly performance. The fanned frets and smooth swamp ash body make for an incredibly comfortable play, perfect for heavy styles like metal and djent. Its powerful pickups deliver clarity and crunch, ensuring your riffs resonate with authority. However, transitioning from 6 or 7 strings might challenge some, and the price point could deter budget-conscious players. Still, its build quality and aesthetic appeal are hard to ignore, making it a worthy investment for serious musicians. Overall, the Hype GTR 8 earns high praise, promising to elevate your sound and stage presence.
