Unleash incredible sonic depth with the Ormsby GTR Hype Shark 8-string guitar. Featuring a striking Caribbean burst finish, multi-scale fretboard for ergonomic play, and custom-wound pickups, this guitar is built for precision and performance. Perfect for musicians seeking to explore new dimensions in sound and technique.

HYPE SERIES - SHARK

The Ormsby Hype Shark is a modern, guitar designed for players seeking precision, comfort, and versatility.  As part of Ormsby’s popular Hype GTR series, this model continues the brand's legacy of innovation through its signature multiscale construction and high-performance hardware.

BODY & CONSTRUCTION

The lightweight Black Limba body with solid maple top fitted with a premium Quilt Maple veneer is chambered for resonance and weight reduction, enhancing comfort and tonal openness. The body is gloss finished and is equipped with a satin neck. The contrast between gloss and satin improves aesthetics and playability, offering a smooth, fast neck feel while maintaining a striking body look.

NECK & FRETBOARD
Built for strength and stability, the set laminated flame Maple neck ensures snappy response and easy maintenance. With a slim D shape profile measuring 19.6 mm at the 1st fret and 21 mm at the 17th, it’s ideal for fast, technical playing across the board. The multiscale (fanned fret) system offers optimal string tension, keeping low notes tight and defined while preserving comfortable playability for leads and chords on higher strings. Bright-sounding and visually clean, the ebony fretboard delivers a warm, but articulate response. Durable and smooth, jumbo stainless steel frets offer excellent resistance to wear and smoother bending. Luminlay-style side dots enhance visibility on dark stages.

CUSTOM HARDWARE
The custom Ormsby bridge working together with the Ormsby Locking tuners ensures tuning stability, even under aggressive playing. Stealthy, modern black hardware complements the body design and finish.

ELECTRONICS AND PICKUPS
The sleek control layout provides intuitive control with tonal versatility via coil splitting, enabling single-coil textures from the humbuckers. The guitar is equipped with Blizzard ceramic humbuckers – designed for high output, tight low end, and aggressive attack. The Concordia humbucker (Alnico II) in the neck offers smoother and rounder tones for clean and lead parts. This pairing balances heaviness and clarity, making the guitar suitable for progressive metal, djent, fusion, and more.
