METAL V SERIES

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

BODY & CONSTRUCTION

The lightweight Swamp Ash body with Flame Maple veneer (mahogany body on White finish guitar) ensures a deep and distinct sound. 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 rock Maple neck ensures snappy response and easy maintenance. With a slim D shape profile measuring 19 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 or chrome hardware complements the body design and finish. (Chrome hardware on Icy Cool & Pine Lime finishes)

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 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.
