Stock pickups: Hot Rock and De La Creme
The Hot Rock and De La Creme pairing covers serious ground. A tight, confident bridge voice for modern rhythm work, and a neck tone that stays smooth and musical. On an 8-string the Hot Rock's AlNiCo 8 magnet keeps the extended low strings controlled and defined rather than loose and flabby.
[Updated for this guitar only] A moderate to high output humbucker designed for blues, rock, punk, and metal. Overwound mismatched coils drive the front end of your amp hard, with the AlNiCo 8 magnet keeping the lows tight and controlled. It stays defined under gain and holds its place in a dense mix without getting loose or fizzy. On an 8-string that low-end discipline matters more than ever.
Modern rock and metal rhythm, tight palm-mutes on the extended range, punchy leads, and anything that needs to cut through a dense mix.
Driving mids, controlled lows, and a forward, immediate feel that holds its shape as gain increases.
[Updated for this guitar only] A PAF-voiced neck pickup with a little more output than a traditional old-school wind. Sweet singing lead tones, clean rhythm clarity, and coil-splitting that opens up single-coil voices you wouldn't expect from a humbucker. The inspiration when winding this one? The intro to Sweet Child of Mine. That says everything about where it sits tonally.
Melodic neck leads, clean passages, warm rock solos, and smooth rhythm textures.
Sweet, open neck tone with musical mids and a smooth top end, warm without getting muddy.
The Hype GTR Exotic Run 5 in Dragonburst is early Ormsby GTR history in a finish that still turns heads. Serial GTR01861, gigbag included, ready to go.
