At A Glance:

Features We Love:

Multiscale Fingerboard

The guitar features a multiscale fingerboard that sees the frets fan out to ensure each string has even tension as you work your way across the board. This superb feature makes it especially good for super technical riffing and acrobatic leadwork.

Custom Pickups

This guitar is rigged with a stunning pair of custom Ormsby pickups. The moderate to high output Hot Rock humbucker in the bridge is paired with the sweet, singing, almost PAF-like De La Creme neck humbucker to give you a fantastic pairing that's built for solid, tight rhythm work and soaring leads. The pickups are also wired with a Push/Pull Tone Control for coil splitting, giving you more crisp, single-coil-like tones in an instant.

Custom Ormsby Hardtail Bridge

The Custom Ormsby bridge is designed from scratch by the luminaries at Ormsby to deliver all the precise intonation and adjustability you need from a guitar bridge. Perfectly suited to the multi-scale layout, whilst remaining as simple and intuitive to adjust as a traditionally scaled guitar bridge. The result is precise intonation across the neck and superb transfer of energy to the body for maximum resonance.

Who Is It For?

Any technical player looking for an instrument that's stunningly high quality, not afraid to push the envelope in looks and sound, whilst also frankly bombproof making it ideal for touring.

• The ultimate guitar for metal
