Ormsby GTR Metal V 7-String, azure crackle finish, made in Korea 2021. If you're not familiar, Ormsby started back in 2003 based out of Perth, Australia. Master luthier Perry Ormsby started out building custom guitars from scratch, built for speed and precision, and that arm of the operation continues to this day. These GTR series instruments take the Ormsby designs and move the building to excellent WMI factory in Seoul, South Korea. The crackle finish on this one looks amazing, it's got some really cool details around the guitar. The neck and back of the headstock are finished in satin, while the headstock front and body are gloss, which is a nice touch. Plugged in and dosed with dirt, there's a mammoth tone on board. There's a weighty, tight low end with a punchy attack and some piquant precision on the treble end. The coil split offers some pretty convincing clean tones too, which is a handy bonus. These don't pop up second hand often, so if you're after a top notch seven for a bargain, give Perry a virtual high five and crackle up your life.
