FACTORY STANDARD — Hypemachine H3
Dragon Burst & Charcoal Burst
Making its official debut at NAMM 2023, the Factory Standard Range marks our first production line handmade entirely by our Australian team in Perth. It’s the Ormsby hybrid done properly — the value and consistency of a production platform with the craftsmanship and feel that should still matter.
The Factory Standard range works much like our GTR series, with one important difference: these guitars are built in-house by our own Australian luthiers. Choose your model, lock in your deposit, and your guitar is batch-made to order within the estimated timeframe. Unlike our Factory Custom or Custom Shop instruments, this range does not include extra customisable options.
The H3 tier is the premium version of the range. Each build features a Mahogany body with a premium Flame Maple drop top and matching headstock, a 5-piece Maple / Wenge bolt-on neck, Ebony fretboard, black hardware, and our proven Blizzard bridge plus Concordia neck pickup combination.
Six String: $4,299 AUD
Why the H3 stands out
The H3 is where the Factory Standard idea makes the most sense: premium visual spec, serious timber selection, and hardware that suits the platform instead of decorating it. It feels like what it is — an Australian-made Ormsby built to be used.

**A limited number of prototypes were made for the launch — photos of completed guitars will be uploaded once available.

Pickup pairing — Blizzard + Concordia
This is a practical pairing, not a gimmick. The Blizzard gives the bridge the right amount of authority and precision, while the Concordia keeps the neck smooth, musical, and actually worth using.
A bridge pickup voiced for control under gain. It stays punchy, tracks fast under the pick, and keeps the low end focused instead of blowing out.
- Defined attack: quick response and proper bite.
- Controlled lows: ideal for tight rhythm work.
- Clear top end: cuts without fizz.
- Lead-ready: harmonics and upper-register lines stay alive.
Modern rock, metal, prog rhythm, aggressive bridge leads, percussive picking.
Tight lows, fast attack, and a bridge voice that stays focused as gain rises.
The Concordia stops the guitar from becoming one-dimensional. It adds warmth and clarity without the mud that ruins a lot of neck positions.
- Smooth lead feel: easy to phrase on.
- Clear cleans: chords stay readable.
- Useful contrast: gives the guitar another real voice.
- Balanced output: works naturally with the bridge pickup.
Cleans, melodic leads, warm solo work, layered parts, expressive neck tones.
Sweet highs, open mids, and a neck voice that stays smooth and useful.
The Factory Standard H3 combines premium tonewoods, hand-built precision, and Ormsby’s signature playability — redefining what a production guitar can be.
