– Press Release

Luthier Perry Ormsby and guitarist Graham Greene have collaborated on the design of Ormsby Guitars’ first ever signature series guitar, the Ormsby GG6.

Graham and Perry met in late 2004, when Perry was Graham’s guitar tech for two SRO reunion concerts by Graham’s old band, Ice Tiger. After playing a couple of Perry’s guitars for some audio sample tracks, Graham was sold on the tone and quality of the workmanship in the instruments. By this time, the two had struck up a friendly working relationship and so it followed that they would sit down together and design Graham’s ideal guitar.

The plan was to design and build not one, but two guitars – a six string and a seven string, to accommodate Graham’s musical styles and artistic direction. Simple but recognizable names were chosen – the GG6 and GG7.

The first of these guitars to be made a reality will be the GG6, due for completion in October 2005. The GG7 will be launched shortly after.
