Introducing the Futura GTR! Originally a fan favourite in our CustomShop lineup, the Futura made its production debut in Run 10 — built for players who crave performance, precision, and elegance.
With a raised centre section, ergonomic forearm + belly carves, and an easy-access bolt-on neck joint, the Futura balances comfort and style while keeping that unmistakable Ormsby feel.
Presented in five standout finishes — Dahlia Black, Deep Blue, Maya Blue, PurrPull, and Ziricote over Mahogany — these guitars nod to the craftsmanship of our CustomShop builds while staying accessible as a GTR model.
Available options
6 or 7-string right-hand configurations. Includes glow-in-the-dark side dots for stage visibility and Jumbo Stainless Steel frets for long-life playability. Gigbag included in the price.

The Hot Rock + PVH set is tuned for modern versatility: punch and cut on the bridge, clarity and control on the neck. Add the push/pull tone, and the Futura can jump from clean ambience to driven rhythm without breaking stride.
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 setups.
Gain-friendly clarity: stays articulate as saturation increases.
Lead-ready: thick single-note tone with good sustain.
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.
Versatile feel: great for expressive dynamics and effects.
Focused mids, smooth highs, and a clear neck tone that stays defined—especially in modern rigs.
Why this pairing works: the bridge stays bold and present for modern rhythm, while the neck keeps clarity for cleans and leads — a set that suits the Futura’s “elegant but aggressive” personality.
⚡ Classic Shape. Modern Edge. The Futura GTR embodies the evolution of Ormsby design — a perfect fusion of bold form, comfort, and cutting-edge tone.
