Our popular Headless Goliath GTR returns for Run 17 — this time introducing an all-new Signature Series for long-time Ormsby artist Kris Xenopoulos.
We’re proud to unveil Kris’s dream design: a headless masterpiece that blends striking visual artistry with premium materials and tone. Each guitar features a Swamp Ash body wrapped in a custom pink + white “Smokey Storm” graphic (created exclusively for Kris), sealed beneath a high-gloss finish. The contrast of the Wenge neck and Ebony fretboard delivers a fast, stable feel — finished off with gold Ormsby hardware for maximum impact.
Available in 6, 7, or 8-string configurations (right hand only). Gigbag included in the price.

Stock pickup set
Bridge: Hot Rock Humbucker Neck: PVH Neck Humbucker
A pairing chosen for mix-forward rhythm authority on the bridge and a clear, expressive neck voice for leads and clean passages — plus plenty of usable tones via the 5-way blade.
What this build excels at: stage-ready headless balance, fast feel from Wenge + Ebony, and a pickup set that stays articulate from tight modern rhythm to soaring melodic leads.
Build information
*As with all GTR models, these instruments are built in partnership with our friends at World Musical Instrument Co. in Korea. **No two pieces of wood are identical; the guitar photographed may not be the exact one you receive.

Kris’s signature set pairs the Hot Rock bridge for bold, confident rhythm tones with the PVH neck for clear, expressive lead work. With the 5-way blade, you’ll get genuinely useful in-between tones that feel like extra “voices” rather than compromises.
Hot Rock — Bridge
Humbucker • Strong mids • Controlled lows
A bridge voice built for authority and control — stays defined under gain, keeps palm-mutes tight, and holds its place in a dense mix.
Punch + cut: mid presence that keeps riffs forward.
Modern tightness: controlled low end suited to multiscale tuning.
Gain-friendly clarity: stays articulate as saturation increases.
Blends well: useful in-between positions on the 5-way.
Best for
Modern rock and metal rhythm, punchy leads, tight palm-mutes, and mix-forward tones.
What you’ll hear
Bold mids, controlled lows, and an “immediate” feel that stays defined under gain.
PVH — Neck
Clear neck voice • Focused mids • Smooth top end
The PVH neck is tuned for clarity and control — giving you a neck voice that stays articulate for lead work, keeps chord voicings readable, and avoids the “mud” that can happen in extended-range guitars.
Note separation: clear string-to-string definition for complex chords.
Lead-friendly: smooth, singing response without harshness.
Clean clarity: stays musical when you roll back gain/volume.
Blended tones: pairs well with the bridge for usable in-between positions.
Focused mids, smooth highs, and a clear neck tone that stays defined in extended ranges.
Why this pairing is deliberate: the Hot Rock keeps the bridge bold and present, while the PVH gives you a neck voice that stays clear and expressive — with 5-way positions that add real versatility.
⚡ Designed by Kris Xenopoulos. Built by Ormsby. The Kris Xenopoulos Signature Goliath GTR combines bold visual design, flawless engineering, and unmatched tone — the perfect fusion of artistry and performance.
