Introducing the TX GTR Vintage Series With Run 15, we introduced three distinct TX editions: Vintage, Carbon, and Exotic.
The TX GTR Vintage captures that timeless tone and feel with an Alder body, Rock Maple neck + fretboard, classic white pickguard, and chrome Ormsby hardware. We’ve paired this vintage-inspired build with one of our favourite combinations: Hot Rock A8 Humbucker (bridge) + Old School A2 Single Coil (neck) — the sweet spot between punch, clarity, and classic sparkle.
Available in 6 or 7-string options and five colours: Rosso Corsa Red, Cream, Seafoam, Tuxedo Black, and Shell Pink. Hardcase included in the price.
Bridge: Hot Rock A8 Humbucker Neck: Old School A2 Single Coil
A modern-leaning bridge humbucker for punch + drive, paired with a neck single coil for sparkle, snap, and clarity. Roll the tone/volume back and the TX goes full classic — push it forward and it’s ready for modern sessions.
What this build excels at: classic “TX” feel with modern Ormsby precision — snappy cleans, punchy driven tones, and a super usable pickup pairing for real-world playing.

Stock pickups: modern punch + vintage neck sparkle
This is a “best of both worlds” set: the Hot Rock A8 adds the muscle for modern rhythm and lead work, while the Old School A2 single coil delivers that neck clarity you want for cleans, chords, and expressive lines. The push/pull tone lets you shape the feel quickly, and the 3-way toggle keeps it simple and classic.
Hot Rock A8 — Bridge
A8 Humbucker • Punchy • Mix-forward • Tight lows
A bridge humbucker with extra authority — strong mids, tight bass, and a confident attack that pushes an amp without getting flubby. Perfect when you want a “vintage-style” guitar to still hit hard in modern rigs.
Punch + drive: pushes your front end with a strong mid voice.
Tighter lows: keeps chords focused and palm-mutes controlled.
Lead-ready: thick single-note tone with good sustain.
Versatile: works from edge-of-breakup to higher gain.
Best for
Modern blues-rock, pop-punk, classic rock with bite, tight rhythm, and bold leads.
What you’ll hear
Strong mids, controlled bass, and a confident “push” that stays articulate.
Old School A2 — Neck
A2 Single Coil • Sparkly • Snappy • Clear chords
The neck single coil is all about classic sparkle and clarity — glassy cleans, detailed chord work, and that “alive” response that makes a vintage-style TX feel instantly familiar.
Neck sparkle: bright, clear top end without sounding thin.
Chord definition: excellent note separation for complex voicings.
Dynamic feel: responds beautifully to pick attack and volume changes.
Glassy highs, snappy response, and clear, musical neck tones that sit beautifully in a mix.
Why this pairing works: you get classic TX neck clarity and sparkle, plus a bridge pickup that adds modern punch — all while keeping the controls simple and “old school” via the 3-way toggle.
🎸 Classic Feel. Modern Precision. The TX GTR Vintage delivers timeless tone and classic styling with Ormsby’s signature playability and build quality — the perfect fusion of old-school charm and modern performance.
