METAL V — GTR
You mentioned it — and we listened!
Taking inspiration from our Headless Goliath models, we’ve integrated some of those modern design ideas to create a futuristic multiscale Metal V built to feel fast, balanced, and unapologetically aggressive.
Each Metal V features a Swamp Ash body with a premium Flame Maple veneer (except the Ermine White model), a Rock Maple set neck, and an Ebony fretboard with pearl dots and our signature Ormsby logo inlay. Finished with custom Ormsby hardware and a purpose-built metal pickup pairing: Blizzard Ceramic (bridge) + Concordia (neck).
Available options
Available in 6 colours: Ermine White, Icy Cool, Pine Lime, Dragonburst, Dahlia Black, and PurrPull.
Offered in 6, 7, or 8-string configurations.
Gigbag included in the price.
Limited Quantities Available — While Stocks Last.
Stock pickup set
Bridge: Blizzard Ceramic Humbucker
Neck: Concordia Neck Humbucker
A set tuned for tight, percussive rhythm and smooth, expressive leads — designed to stay defined in low tunings while keeping the neck voice musical for solos and clean passages.

Stock pickups: tight ceramic bite + smooth neck articulation
The Metal V is built to hit hard — and the Blizzard + Concordia set delivers exactly that: fast attack and controlled lows on the bridge, plus a neck voice that stays smooth and expressive for leads. With the push/pull tone and classic 3-way toggle, you’ve got versatility without complexity.
A bridge voice tuned for precision under gain — palm-mutes hit with authority, low strings stay controlled, and riffs remain defined when the mix gets dense.
- Tight low end: stays focused in lower tunings and multiscale setups.
- Fast response: immediate pick attack for percussive rhythm.
- Cut without fizz: clear top end that doesn’t get harsh.
- Mix-forward: keeps riffs present and articulate.
Modern metal, tight rock rhythm, drop tunings, aggressive riffing, and punchy leads.
Controlled lows, aggressive attack, and clear note separation even with high gain.
A neck voice that stays clear and expressive — perfect for melodic leads, clean passages, and warm rhythm textures without getting muddy.
- Singing lead tone: vocal mids and smooth highs.
- Clean definition: chord clarity and note separation.
- Great contrast: complements the bridge’s aggression with sweetness.
- Usable blends: plays well with bridge for in-between tones (when split/rolled back).
Smooth leads, clean passages, prog textures, and melodic neck work that stays defined.
Sweet, open neck tone with musical mids and a smooth top end—clear without sounding thin.
The Metal V GTR blends aggressive design with unmatched playability — crafted for players who demand performance and style.
