I chose the red/gold chameleon finish because the very first guitar ormsby sent to me was a Goliath red gold chameleon finish and I absolutely fell in love with it. Perry is the man!

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Great choice! Pictures really don't do it justice!

[@Gareth_J]

I very recently stumbled upon Live Louder and i have to say, I've not seen a more unique collection of guitars for sale in the UK before. Dan definitely has something special going on! I have an Ormsby GTR Elite coming next week. The price point, along with the fact it includes a custom white/red hardcase was almost unbelievable. I'd previously had my eye on some Schecters, ESP, BC Rich's etc and while they would all be great guitars, Ormsby just have that perfect blend of custom shop quality, uniqueness, and affordability that can't be denied!

[@chaos4316]

Hi James, as you’ve asked, I’ll share my experience with owning an Ormsby. I actually have 3. All of mine are 6 string. The most recent is the Hype Shark in Caribbean. Stunning. Full spec sheet on the site. Not only is it just an awesome looking thing on my wall, but these pickups are so receptive to signal from amps or fx boards (I use a helix floor). It’s like getting behind the wheel of a car that looks kinda foreign to you, but you quickly don’t become afraid of how different it feels to what you thought you as awesome before. I Love the pickups, set up was perfect out of the box. Using the coil splitters certainly doesn’t make it sound bad… it’s just after you hear it with the humbuckers it’s a little hard to go back. It can handle strong tension really well (wrapping the end is only an afterthought if you’re going to drop C/C# I think. They seem to just handle whatever you throw at it with ease. I’ve also got a Futura 6 with a flame blue top. Thing is a machine! Sign up to a run, follow the forums, you’ll be stoked when you get your own.

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Awesome mate thanks for sharing! What scale length and tunings are you running? I'd love a 7 String Ormsby... will have to review one this year.

[@jackbootshamangaming4541]

I bought my first Ormsby, also the first guitar I ever got for more than 1k, I now have 4 Ormsby guitars(two are coming) already! They're so amazing!

[@Centipede_Solaire]

The headstock is like a reverse Parker style. I appreciate you adding the player experience into all aspects of your reviews. Cheers man

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Ah i'd forgotten about those guitars and the crazy S shaped horns. Thanks for watching!

[@alementary4065]

I just ordered a TX GTR 6 15th run. Like a Tele melted. Hope I like it.

[@jodimullen]

I bought a 7-string Ormsby Goliath from Live Louder a few months ago and it's an absolutely stunning guitar! Don't think we've seen a headless guitar are your channel before so would love to see how you got on with one.

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Good point! I've come so close to getting a Headless 7 as a nice compact practice guitar for the living room a few times. Time to get back on the case 😉

[@9unslin9er]

You just sold me on a Headless V. These are some of the best metal tones ever. I'm still grieving over Alexi Laiho and Oli Herbert. Hope to play all their music with this amazing guitar.

[@StyL0s_]

Had the same idea after seeing this. Headless Metal V is pretty cool! The body Shape is exactly how I like my Vs

[@stann710]

I always enjoy watching your reviews, brother. Keep it up and all the best to you!

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Thank you mate and thanks for watching!

[@slayer666ere]

Thank you for showing this guitar this is a guitar I might actually pick up I've never heard of the company that I will pick up in my collection when I'm jamming and playing

[@ivanvasconcelos9653]

I really appreciate this - thank you! I have been eyeing the 7 string TX GTR from them: 25.5-27.8 scale, same bridge PU as this model, but with a single coil in the neck, and 27 frets on the highest string 😮. The TX body is inspired by tele and looks so cool. Very unique guitar and now I'm *VERY* tempted haha

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

That 27 fret range is wild! Thanks for watching 😁

[@slayer666ere]

I'm starting to enjoy all of your content cuz it's really awesome and amazing and very educational and it's a refreshing cuz I've been out of the loop of guitars for a while I mean I remember guitars in the 90s and the 80s and a little bit all the way up to 2004 when it comes to knowing all the new stuff and all the new specs and all the cool things I really appreciate craftsmanship and somebody that really puts their Blood Sweat and Tears and making a beautiful instrument that sounds god-like amazing and knows what the hell they're doing and they really put pride and you can tell that you got an incredible guitar a guy like me I am an artist from one guy to another I'm an artist also so it's the art inside me I do watercolors I do a lot of really cool stuff paint skull shape everything I do carve things out of wood I do have a wood background where I love to do things with wood and things and this is really cool and thanks for the great content it's amazing and I really enjoy and I really appreciate I'm glad there's somebody like you in this world the world would be totally lost without you you're a treasure man you put really good content you're like the Sultan of the earth and its really cool to have somebody like you in this world great content I came across your page tonight and I was cruising through it and I've been watching One video after another and I'm getting a real great education thing and getting updated and understanding things now this is awesome thank you so much for this

[@JamesFlorio-ti8gc]

Those pickups do sound good 👍 some of your best tones are in this video. Korea makes amazing 🎸. I do actually like the look of this multi scale... Thanks for the demo brother 😎👊

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Thanks dude people sometimes crap on the Headrush boards but I always get such great sounds from them! Thanks for watching!

[@Turbo-D]

@ 2k is not a bad deal at all at least better as any of the newer jackson for the same price imo and a satin finish is just killer! just the pickups are a bit "unpredictable" in this price range so better try before you buy!.. cheers 🎸🎸

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

I definitely think Ormsby should have Video/sound demos next to every Pickup on their Pickup page. It would help a lot with the pickups being an unknown. Thanks for watching!

[@Turbo-D]

@@GuitarCinemaOfficial yes👍

[@1b2m]

I bought one of the lower-tier GTI-S 7-strings just for fun, to have a 7-string to f*ck about with when I'm too lazy to get out the expensive ESP or the custom with the Evertune bridge. At sub 900€ brand new, being "made in Indonesia", with house-brand pickups, I expected absolutely nothing. And wow, was I surprised. Honestly, that thing RIPS! It's so fast and tight, a total player guitar, firm in the low-end, good note separation in medium to high gain, and an overall simple but well-made feel. Can definitely recommend to anyone considering!

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Glad to hear it! I originally looked at reviewing the purple finish version of the GTI-S

[@KaiDown]

Ando San is a beast of a player! This Ormsby looks so good, WMI are top tier too

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Dude is crazy talented he makes one voice and one guitar sound like a full band!

[@andrewpolk1643]

I have 2 Goliaths with 1 black friday custom on order. I have an RC-1 and 2 hype models (shark and elite-II). The Goliath model is my favorite. I love how light, modern looking it is. I agree 100% with the pickups, they are amazing and I plan on trying more of their custom hand wound pick ups.

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Nice! I really like the idea of an Ormsby V for my collection... I see some 7 string ones in the upcoming run 👀

[@SpampysGeM]

how is the high fret access on the Goliath? I have seen some photos and by the look of the horn starting at the 15th fret I am afraid it would be a nightmare to play the last frets in the 7-8 string. What do you think?

[@andrewpolk1643]

@@SpampysGeMI do a lot of lead playing with 5 string arpeggios starting at the 17th frets and never even think about fret access. If you're trying to play F# or B string beyond the 19th fret then you're going to find some discomfort for sure, but that's pretty much any guitar especially a bolt on.

[@dreammachine86]

When I had a look on their website those 'Black Friday' models looked really cool. I like the idea of full rainbow colours for that sandblasted ash finish. Not cheap though! I haven't tried an Ormsby yet, I was quite tempted by the Hype GTR Elite II 8 string as do want to get my first 8 string at some point. Whilst their import models look like really high quality guitars (the birch top on the GTR Elite looks incredible), I'm not so sure I'd get on with their multiscale. My only multiscale guitar currently is a Cort 7 string, a typical 25.5 - 27 scale. I've found it really comfortable on the higher frets where the angle is towards the bridge, but a bit awkward on the lower frets where the angle is towards the nut. It makes barre chords particularly awkward for me. Unfortunately it seems that Ormsby leans towards a more extreme fan angle closer to the nut...so the opposite of what I'd find comfortable. A shame as Ormsbys are clearly great guitars and I seem to really like the sound of their 'Hot Rock' humbucker but I would definitely want to try one at a dealer first to see if their multiscale is something that would fit with me.

[@hampushakman3457]

I´m using the Ormsby TX Carbon 6 High Alert, it´s amazing and made me want to play more than ever! I´ve been playing Ibanez and Schecter for 15 years, but i think i´ll stick to Ormsby going forward !

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Sick model I love that finish! Enjoy!

[@hampushakman3457]

@@GuitarCinemaOfficial Oh i´m enjoying it! only had it for a couple of days :P Hope you enyou yours aswell, already looking to get some more Ormsby guitars !

[@Skade_Vandal]

After 5 years of playing an ESP ltd kh-202 (the budget version) with a floyd rose knock off wich was always a headache. I am in the market for a new axe that would be of good quality, good specs and all round a quality product with great looks and an outstanding tone. After looking at brands like Jackson, Esp and Schecter i have to say im glad i found out about this manufacturer. 100% my new guitar is gonna be from Ormsby. Looking at the hype GTR Elite 7 with the copper print. Am really excited!

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Can't understate how impressed I was with this guitar. I'm also looking at putting a deposit on one of the 7 string V's for next year's run now. Let us know how you get on it you do get one!

[@chaos4316]

I just bought a Ltd edition hype shark. It’s my 3rd Ormsby, pull the trigger man. You won’t regret it. You can’t make a bad choice!

[@creepingdeeth]

The knobs are Hipshot O-ring knobs, they are great. The bridge is also insanely similar to the Hipshot multiscale bridge. It's a very nice guitar but I couldn't get on with the difference in scale lengths.

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

I'd say the mounting plate is actually a fair bit thicker rimmed than the Hipshot MS bridged Guitars I own. Never had a guitar with these O Ring knobs though they feel great! Understand the 2 inch spread may not be for everyone.

[@creepingdeeth]

@@GuitarCinemaOfficial I've got Hipshot bridges with both the .125 and .175 baseplate. The .175 is proper chunky even though in my head I thought it would be barely noticeable difference. Very cool guitar and a great review.

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

@@creepingdeeth Ah I didn't actually know hipshot did them in different thicknesses. I liked the thicker one here it's a nice place to rest your hand. Thanks for watching! 😁

[@youknowthatoneguy123]

I just got my first ormsby this last week (hype elite II)! Amazing instrument. On par with my Japanese made RGA in terms of qualtiy. I almost prefer the neck on the ormsby

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Very nice!! What finish did you go for?

[@komraderymcdermott5903]

I've been wanting to buy a TX exotic 7 string on reverb for soooooooooooooooo long but I was always scared, now I have confidence that it'd be a worthwhile purchase :D I'd really love to see one of their tele styles on the channel if possible, also I think this is the first time I've heard a drop c only review on your channel, the riffs sound disgusting! (in the best way) keep up the good work!

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Duly noted my friend thanks for watching as always!

[@slayer666ere]

That is so crazy the pickups remind me of a gunslinger type way where it's done on an angle like a vertical angle that is so crazy like a gunslinger that is wild instead of you know normally it's just straight boring that they're on an angle that's why I like a gunslinger that's interesting

[@forsakenart_]

I'm currently in the market for a new guitar and have around $2,500usd to spend. I've been trying to find something headless, 6 or 7 strings, with an uncommon body shape. I love the shape of Strandberg and the Ibanez Q series but I haven't fallen in love with anything I've seen from them. I like the Thanos and Osiris body but I've heard too many bad things about Kiesel. Schecter is my favorite because of their fast and thin necks, but no headless models (at least yet other than the potential Synyster Gates signature). I've never been a strat/tele/sg/LP fan. Tried PRS but just felt average at best to me. After looking up reviews and watching videos and your in depth review, I think my new guitar is going to be an Ormsby. I've heard only good things about the quality of them!

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

I'm just about to drop a review of the Legator Ghost headless model this week so be sure to check it out should be right up your street!

[@slayer666ere]

You definitely making this not easy for me there's some nice things that I've seen and the things that you're telling me some of these guitars the way they are the sound I mean holy crap man I'm looking forward to getting some of these guitars man

[@hotchow8766]

I would ask you to review an Ormsby TX series guitar. I would like to see a lightweight, modern-styled guitar with single coil tones that feels great to play. Telecasters are still generally built with cumbersome neck joints and even if I'm not as good as Jeff Beck with a Strat, I don't want something that feels like two pieces of raw lumber bolted together. If you do another Legator, like the SFOD Arctic Blue a while back, perhaps you could review the CC-7 that flew under the radar. I'd bet most channels (the usual suspects) didn't get a free guitar to review so it didn't make any waves.

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Duly noted!

[@mehdiboussaid4511]

hi James! thanks for this another great review. Can you try and give a second chance to a Schechter Silver Mountain ?

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

I haven't actually covered a Schecter in over a year since doing the Omen Elite so definitely will get another in soon!

[@slayer666ere]

This would be a really good guitar if you were working on an album Studio this would be a really cool guitar change the sound of just playing little differently give you a little bit of a challenge the way it makes me sound it sounds really cool and it would be really cool to have that in the studio if you're working on an album and you want to change things you know everybody's been having all kinds of different guitars but they have something like that in your collection and do that on an album and play around with it that would be a cool guitar to make an album with I think so my that's only my opinion but this is cool I really enjoy this video again I'm going to have to pick up one of these guitars

[@ericsmith6633]

Ok so, wait…. It looked like it had a wenge neck, is it wenge or maple? You had said a maple neck I’m assuming you meant maple board. But when u showed the back it looked like wenge. I mean this guitar is awesome!!

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Flame maple board. Laminated Wenge neck 👍👍

[@slayer666ere]

That guitar is a serious heavy-duty Shredder wow guitar you really want to jam out experiment and shred and do some really cool things with this guitar and even if you have if you just want to fart around or come up with great ideas cool wrist what other or if you're working on an album This is a kind of a guitar that would help Eva late you're guitar playing when you are creating a new album and you need something a little bit of an edge this is crazy this guitar I'm glad I got to see this guitar another heard anything about this and wow this is something you think you know everything and then something like this hit you with a with a ton of bricks and blows your mind it's like you've been hit with a semi truck and it knocked you out and you're just like right out of the ballpark and you're just like what is this I need this in my life

[@slayer666ere]

I like the way you explain things and stuff and you get right down to Brass tactics and that is awesome and it's ghetto a lot of KZbin channels they talk about bulshit and they don't know elbow from their ass and I like you you do a very good job explaining the details of how it really plays how it feels how it breathe I mean is this something that you're just going to be bored with are you going to actually enjoy playing this guitar and want to pick it up all the time and experiment and do things and what this guitar would be good for what kind of people would actually enjoy playing this beautiful instrument that you're playing this guitar looks amazing and the way you describing it and stuff like that so I'm guitars they look cool but then you get bored playing with them and stuff and this is awesome it's very educational and very cool I like s*** like this cuz it's awesome and somebody

[@Kataklysme666]

It's funny you said "ho people just read spec". Well I see NO ONE EVER playing standing up and speaking about balance and neck diving problems which is for me something super important. I want to use it in rehearsal and gigs not just in my bedroom. To bad.

[@slayer666ere]

It's a very interesting Qatar I have to say it plays pretty amazing and another seen a guitar like this and stuff kind of made me do a double-take I wouldn't think I would pick up a guitar like that I didn't think it would be my style and stuff but the way it sounds the setups the way they have it and it's a custom so interesting I'm going to do some research for this company and stuff I mean this looks pretty wild and stuff I probably could make me a really cool Guitar custom and stuff I do like the way the body looks the paint job is insane wow it really sparkles reminds me of like a muscle car or exotic car with a really crazy paint job sounds really good replacement where the pickups are kind of like I said kind of Mines me of a gunslinger style guitar instead of having it normal thing it's slightly on an angle to get that Gunslinger type guitar thing in the placement of the pickups is interesting both of them are in two different angles so and they're like that's interesting the crazy neck piece is crazy look I mean one point it looks so damn thin I think I was going to snap it in half or something
