For over a decade now, Ormsby Guitars has been reshaping the way we play music. Located in Western Australia’s capital city of Perth, Perry Ormsby’s handbuilt brand has garnered an incredible waiting list thanks to the unique designs, game-changing multi-scale fingerboards (fanned frets), and ornate inlays.
Perry spent his life as a carpenter before migrating those skills into the guitar world. Today, he is one of Australia’s premier luthiers with a company that lives by the mantra: if you can dream it, we can build it.
In the video above, Perry takes us through a few of their coolest offerings. Notably, their unique copper top that involves laying a sheet of copper across the top of the guitar, aging it for the unique patina, and then sealing it. To see more of Perry’s latest designs and finishes from this year’s winter NAMM, check out the video above.
