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.
