Just unboxed my 7 string version with the walnut finsh last night. Only had time to play unplugged, but am already loving it. I'm new to 7 string and multi-scale. The neck is so very comfortable. Has a very ESP'ish thin U feel.
You have stepped up your game exponentially, good sir. This video is a leap forward in production value and the transfer of information. Don't get me wrong. Your videos are always informative and entertaining, but this shows a new attention to detail. Plus the riffs are slammin!!! **uses mouthbreather voice** but your tone always sounds the same. Killer stuff, Ola!!
Ormbsy is the best. I bought a Goliath after NAMM this year, by March 31st, I already own 3 different Ormsbys, a Headless Metal V 7, and Dino DC Demanufacture 7
Perry's guitars are awesome, it's my personal goal to get over to Perth and do one of his guitar building courses. One day. I just bought the missus a nice 4x4 so who knows, maybe next year.
Just a heads up that run 5 of the Ormsby GTR line is underway. There's some beautiful guitars too, in particular the maccassar ebony and dragonburst hypeGTRs.
I love these vids OLA, where you tease us with some new material I guess. That was the dealbreaker for me to subscribe to you. Bring back the new material tease vids :)
Poor old Perth. Only Death Metal bands that love us enough to visit regularly is LOG and Meshuggah (no complaints though!). *crosses metal horns*. Looking at the 8-string version. P.S. the Synder pendant is fucking badass.
Awesome guitar. Really good job and well talented musician here. by the way would be cool to see a video about the famous old school swedish buzzsaw, entombed-ish tone. It'd be fun to see what you can do with this kind of tone ;)
Some of the demo tracks you record for these videos do you or have you released them for listeners as myself to throw on their audio devices? Also, when your have the drums for these are you creating them yourself for the clips or using Ezdrummer 2 for quick ideas?
Hey +Ola Engund. What tuning you usually use? Sometimes it sounds like a E-standard, but still heavy as balls. Sometimes when composing riffs, i get some Ola Englund -ish feel to it, when playing perfect 4th's, instead of regular power chords. Do you recognize anything similar to your playing? FAQ video if possible please. Thanks.
How strong is that headstock and those fanned frets really hurt my eyes trying to watch this demo. Looks like a beast though but I have my doubts about the headstock and always have since Dennis Kayzer demo'd the same style guitar.
+jeleopard And you know this how? The reason I have my doubts is regarding the construction so my question is regarding the amount of tension it can take before it snaps considering the lack of wood used. Can you tell me that or are you just gonna tell me that the headstock is strong and leave it at that?
Played a few, own one, flown with it across the US (Cali to PA). Parker has been making open-air headstocks for like 20 some years. Believe me, these are well made and totally safe. I understand they might look a little scary, but they're not.
+AlasPoorJordan HMM I'LL HAVE TO TRY ONE SOME DAY BUT I'M NOT REALLY INTO THE WHOLE BARITONE THING, COULD THE FANNED FRETS BE DONE WITH A NORMAL TUNE O MATIC TYPE BRIDGE AND TAILPIECE OR DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE TAIL AT A ANGLE?
+Jack O'Connor in this case it is. Ormsby markets it as a multi scale and not a fanned fret, simply because he uses a different way to calculate fret positions as compared to other makers. An example of a guitar that is truly a "multi" scale would be Tosin Abbasi's "Blur", made by Rick Toone. that one has fanned frets as well as separate scale lengths for the last pair of strings.
AKA THAT opinion that all djent people has, which is shit... in case you don't know, it's not the strings that makes the guitar, same principal for the player by the way, specially if it's just to play the lowest strings on it, like all djent players do.
stupid musicians killer What exactly is the difference? I made a joke about seeing a modern metal video about a guitar having only 6 strings when so many videos are bout 7, 8 and now 9 string guitars and I connected that to a video that poked fun at how so many modern djent bands rely heavily on just one string and often even one fret. Seems quite relevant and prescient to where you were going.
I got a question that's been bugging me ever since Ibanez came out with the fanned fret iron label guitars this year . Does it actually that the frets are like that ? I mean does it help the play style and is it comfortable to do solos and all ? Ola has that figured out but I really wanna know .
It's very comfortable. Chords are easier, especially on the lower frets. Your wrist tends to sta in a very relaxed position throughout your playing, at any position on the neck.
So funny coming back to Olas older videos, he's so serious :)
I live in Perth, Australia and I've spoken to Perry and he's such a good guy, definitely worth every dollar.
Probably my next guitar
Damn, Ola. That's some kickass riffage sir.
so jared dines, ola, and ryan bruce all talk about this exact same guitar in the space of like three days...
this company's marketing is on point
Perry Ormsby is a next level nice guy too man. Guy goes above and beyond!
where did jared and fluff do that? I haven't seen anything new from them about this guitar
Jared's Instagram.
i remember when perry was just a regular luthier in my home city. hes certainly grown
Been following Ormsby for a few years now. Some of the most beautiful guitars ever made come out of that guy's workshop.
So happy to see an Australian maker doing so well. Congrats on all the success, Perry!
Perth boy here, I have an ormsby hype GTR 8 nicest guitar I’ve ever owned hands down
I remember watching is builds in the forums of Ultimate Guitar so many years ago! it's so cool to see him come all this way!
Just unboxed my 7 string version with the walnut finsh last night. Only had time to play unplugged, but am already loving it. I'm new to 7 string and multi-scale. The neck is so very comfortable. Has a very ESP'ish thin U feel.
You're playing really well, man. Major improvements over the years, specially with lead phrasing.
Terrific lead tone.
I could listen to Ola say "nunchucker" all day
Oh how far Ola has come. Love ya buddy!
and absolutely crushing tone!
The neck is probably my favorite part of this guitar.
love this side of your riff writing man, awesome demo as always man
You have stepped up your game exponentially, good sir. This video is a leap forward in production value and the transfer of information. Don't get me wrong. Your videos are always informative and entertaining, but this shows a new attention to detail. Plus the riffs are slammin!!! **uses mouthbreather voice** but your tone always sounds the same. Killer stuff, Ola!!
Dat clean tone is delicious
These guitars are so great. I love mine. Multiscale instruments have a host of benefits, and I've already bought another.
That tune is AWESOME
Ormbsy is the best. I bought a Goliath after NAMM this year, by March 31st, I already own 3 different Ormsbys, a Headless Metal V 7, and Dino DC Demanufacture 7
Thank you for this Ola! Love seeing some of the Aussie guitars getting some international attention!
How arm down at 0:39??
Perry's guitars are awesome, it's my personal goal to get over to Perth and do one of his guitar building courses. One day. I just bought the missus a nice 4x4 so who knows, maybe next year.
These companies making Blackmachine type guitars owe such a debt of (at least) gratitude to Doug Campbell.
thats the whole reason its called the "Hypemachine"
Who, in turn, owes a debt of gratitude to Parker??
+jeleopard who also in turn owes a debt to Leo Fender.
And so on and so forth ;)
I thought it was confirmed that the headstock inspiration was from BC Rich?
IIRC Doug said that himself.
You 're the best! Explains all that i wanna know at mostly of videos
Can I use it for Standart Tuning, so E A D G B E, or are Ormsby guitars for Drop Tunings?
Just a heads up that run 5 of the Ormsby GTR line is underway. There's some beautiful guitars too, in particular the maccassar ebony and dragonburst hypeGTRs.
perry ormsby makes me proud to be from perth
Awesome riffs! And that guitar is pretty sweet. It sounds extra in tune to me.
far out that Randall ISO cab is killer sounding, i wish they were more common!
your tone is fucking amazing man. seriously.
Sweet review Ola !
Aaaaaand I just found my next guitar. Holy cow, that is a beautiful instrument!!
Great colour
That guitar looks awesome, great video
That lead tone, man...was that the AxeFx pedal thing?
Wicked guitar , wicked tone \m/
SICK:RIFFAGES:AMAZING INSTRUMENT:!!
interesting headstock design. looks great
I love these vids OLA, where you tease us with some new material I guess. That was the dealbreaker for me to subscribe to you. Bring back the new material tease vids :)
Love the lead lines. More lead playing, please!
I just got a new 27", IPS, 1440p, 144Hz g-synced ubermonitor. Trusty Ola Englund has some nice vids in phat resolution my memory says =D
tasty tune Ola
i love how you don't change the wrong stuff you said but put a caption instead hahaha
Ola! You've gotten so good at the geetar!
I fvcking adore the tonal characteristics that the EHR-E gives to that tone. A lot more muscle compared with the SM57.
great playing man!
What is the name of the first song. What band or where is it possible to listen?
Looks pretty sweet
such enthusiasm ... wow
Your tone is tighter than usual in this video.
awesome vid! i love hearing you say perth australia. come visit and do some shows/gear showcases!
Vote for future Metal guitar revolution!
Hi, Ola! Great rewiew! I like the way you made this video! Keep it doing and have a nice day!
Dat solo was tasty!
Ola bravo.With all respect I think you improve your playing a lot.
Hopefully i can snatch a spot for the aussie hypemachine. Will you be getting one Ola?
interesting design,i like it!
I've never played a multi scale guitar, can these still be played in standard tuning?
Are you gonna be making multi scale Washburn solars?
Poor old Perth. Only Death Metal bands that love us enough to visit regularly is LOG and Meshuggah (no complaints though!). *crosses metal horns*. Looking at the 8-string version. P.S. the Synder pendant is fucking badass.
is there an original floyd rose multiscale guitar???? I would buy it NOW!!!!!!!!!
Very soon! September announcement.
sounds great I will be waiting thanks!
I have another question...Works B standard tuning with this guitar (6B, 5E, 4A, 3D, 2F#, 1B)? I mean does it work well?
I could be wrong, but the floyd model released in September won't be multiscale.
AH yes. I misread the question. No floyd and multiscale.
Only floyd.
where it is possible to get a full track?
Awesome guitar. Really good job and well talented musician here. by the way would be cool to see a video about the famous old school swedish buzzsaw, entombed-ish tone. It'd be fun to see what you can do with this kind of tone ;)
Some of the demo tracks you record for these videos do you or have you released them for listeners as myself to throw on their audio devices? Also, when your have the drums for these are you creating them yourself for the clips or using Ezdrummer 2 for quick ideas?
Is the song up somewhere?
This video is definitely when is tone was the best
WOW I WANT ONE
What do you use to stop the strings during the solo?
Hey +Ola Engund. What tuning you usually use? Sometimes it sounds like a E-standard, but still heavy as balls. Sometimes when composing riffs, i get some Ola Englund -ish feel to it, when playing perfect 4th's, instead of regular power chords. Do you recognize anything similar to your playing? FAQ video if possible please. Thanks.
You said CHance and not Shance! I'm so proud of your progress in western English annunciation. SköL!
What Pantera song is that?
GTR like the car that's dope
Wow!
the style is kinda awesome o_0
I want that guitar!!!
It looks fucking great!!
what's the name of this song? like it.
What string gauge did you use?
How strong is that headstock and those fanned frets really hurt my eyes trying to watch this demo. Looks like a beast though but I have my doubts about the headstock and always have since Dennis Kayzer demo'd the same style guitar.
The headstock is very strong.
+jeleopard And you know this how? The reason I have my doubts is regarding the construction so my question is regarding the amount of tension it can take before it snaps considering the lack of wood used. Can you tell me that or are you just gonna tell me that the headstock is strong and leave it at that?

Parker has been making open-air headstocks for like 20 some years. Believe me, these are well made and totally safe. I understand they might look a little scary, but they're not.
Looks and sounds awesome, but...why does it resemble a Skervesen??
Hey Ola, how do you go about writing songs?
Do sit and think, do you jam until you hit upon something, or do you let things come together over time?
LOOKS BADASS BUT WHATS THE ADVANTAGE OF HAVING THE FANNED FRETS?
The largest benefit (for me at least) is how much more comfortable it is to play.
+AlasPoorJordan HMM I'LL HAVE TO TRY ONE SOME DAY BUT I'M NOT REALLY INTO THE WHOLE BARITONE THING, COULD THE FANNED FRETS BE DONE WITH A NORMAL TUNE O MATIC TYPE BRIDGE AND TAILPIECE OR DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE TAIL AT A ANGLE?
that headstock reminds me of Parker Guitar but reverse and more metal
Ola, How do you like the fanned frets?
Well, these aren't fanned frets.
+Prospheta Yes they are. It's a multiscale fanned fret guitar.
+Prostheta multi scale and fanned fret are the same thing
+Arghyadeep Mitra not necessarily
+Jack O'Connor in this case it is. Ormsby markets it as a multi scale and not a fanned fret, simply because he uses a different way to calculate fret positions as compared to other makers.
An example of a guitar that is truly a "multi" scale would be Tosin Abbasi's "Blur", made by Rick Toone. that one has fanned frets as well as separate scale lengths for the last pair of strings.
what song is it ?
What kind of camera do you use for your videos?
+Tyler Smith black magic 4K production
+Ola Englund awesome thank you
Ola Englund waht song is played for the intro thanks .
Where is this guitar made? Is it outsourced to an Asian country?
Korea. Made by World who make PRS, High end LTDs, Strandberg, and many more quality guitars
So this is the guitar that Jared DInes posted a pic of on Instagram?
No. That one is in the US. They are a part of the same production run that Ormsby did. They do them in runs with only a few finishes to choose from.
+Jevta624 actually it's the same model
cant wait for my goliath 8 gtr
The headstock reminds me of Skervesen.
Now only if DAR AMPLIFICATION came back and every one does already have this guitar !!
You should do a video like "Every amp sounds the same" but with guitars. That'd be really interesting
Thanks
I got's to get me one of them freeway switches!
Hi, I'm Jesus and I borrowed Zeus' guitar.
That dude looks nothing like Jesus, and Zeus would play a much cooler guitar.
Jesse Cole i agree with the first but hows this guitar not cool?
Great vid again, I am looking at their TX model and you helped me make my mind up... More credit card damage!
the TX is a great guitar. I picked one up in the same Run as Ola's hype
The TX and the Hype play pretty much the same, but IMO the TX is a nicer looking beast. Happy NGD for when you get yours!
+Dan thanks Dan. It's from Run 2 so I already have it. Great guitar. I've hardly played anything else since it arrived
Is that a ukulele? Why does it have so few strings? :)
AKA THAT opinion that all djent people has, which is shit... in case you don't know, it's not the strings that makes the guitar, same principal for the player by the way, specially if it's just to play the lowest strings on it, like all djent players do.
stupid musicians killer I'm not usually into Jared Dines' videos but the 1-string/1-fret guitar was pretty funny.
louderthangod i'm talking about your first comment here, not about what you think of people acting like idiots on youtube.
stupid musicians killer What exactly is the difference? I made a joke about seeing a modern metal video about a guitar having only 6 strings when so many videos are bout 7, 8 and now 9 string guitars and I connected that to a video that poked fun at how so many modern djent bands rely heavily on just one string and often even one fret.

It's very comfortable. Chords are easier, especially on the lower frets. Your wrist tends to sta in a very relaxed position throughout your playing, at any position on the neck.
AlasPoorJordan Thanks for your answer dude .
That was so cool... How much i have to pay for one of these?
$1749 AUD to $1889 AUD --> $1337,88 USD
Protip: They have payment plans so you can delay your payments for about three months!
I believe they are around $1600 Australian :)
Really good price for what you get.... Thanks a lot guys
