SKULL 2 — SX SERIES

Introducing the Skull 2 (SX 16B) — part of our distinctive SX range, built to deliver a blend of striking looks and premium tone. A Mahogany body paired with a 3-piece Laminated Roasted Wenge set neck and Wenge fretboard gives the Skull 2 rich resonance, rock-solid stability, and a dark, articulate tone profile.

For versatility, it ships with our Nunchucker A8 humbucker (bridge) and Old School+ A2 single coil (neck), plus push/pull coil taps to unlock extra voices.

As with all Ormsby guitars, the Skull 2 features custom Ormsby hardware — bridge, locking tuners, and controls — ensuring reliable tuning stability and effortless performance. Premium gigbag included.

Pickups: bold bridge power + articulate neck clarity

The Skull 2’s pickup pairing is designed for contrast and control: a bridge humbucker that can hit hard without turning to mush, and a neck single coil that stays clear, dynamic, and expressive — with the push/pull coil taps expanding the usable palette even further.

Nunchucker A8 — Bridge Humbucker
Tight attack • Strong mids • Gain-ready

A bridge voice built for impact and definition — fast pick response, controlled low end, and a midrange that stays present in a band mix.

  • Controlled low end: tight palm-mutes and separated low notes.
  • Clear attack: fast tracking for syncopated riffing and percussive rhythm.
  • Mix-forward mids: keeps riffs audible without harshness.
  • Versatile output: strong enough for modern gain, still articulate for rock crunch.
Best for

Modern rock/metal rhythm, punchy leads, tight drop tunings, and aggressive riffing.

What you’ll hear

Tight lows, bold mids, and a focused bridge voice that stays defined as gain increases.

Old School+ — Neck A2 Single Coil
Clear cleans • Dynamic feel • Sweet top end

A neck single coil tuned for clarity and expression — the kind of pickup that keeps chords open, and lead lines vocal and responsive.

  • Articulate cleans: strong note separation for chords and layered parts.
  • Expressive dynamics: responds to pick attack and volume changes.
  • A2 sweetness: a smooth top end that avoids ice-pick brightness.
  • Perfect contrast: switching from bridge feels like a real change in character.
Best for

Cleans, expressive neck leads, bluesy phrasing, ambient textures, and articulate chord passages.

What you’ll hear

Clear, dynamic neck tone with sweet highs and a musical mid character that avoids mud.

Why it works: the bridge gives you authority and drive; the neck gives you clarity and expression — so the Skull 2 can move from heavy rhythm to clean detail without feeling like a compromise.
Unique Grain. Bold Tone.
The Skull 2 SX delivers the perfect balance of visual flair and sonic power — an unmistakably Ormsby creation built for discerning players.
