Argh!! I hate you theo! I've been wanting an Ormsby for ages. That looks sick though dude. Just a tad jealous over here! You'd better post a vid once you get it mate :encouragement:
 
I'm not normally a fan of the superstrat body, but that wood is sooooo damned gorgeous I don't care. How do you like the fanned frets? I've always been curious about them.
 
I was cautious at first.

But after playing some other Ormsby guitars I found that it took me about ten minutes to adjust.
They feel natural and just "right". It's a bit hard to describe.
Ergonomic I guess?

The trick is not to think too much and just play as you normally would.

Yeah, they do seem like the would lend themselves to a more natural feel in playing, plus the advantage of gradual scale increase. Dammit. Now I want one.
 
Gorgeous. That fingerboard is to die for...

I've never even touched a multiscale. Are they hard to play? Is it hard to switch back and forth from them to standard guitars? Do they sound all 'microtonal' - or can you still do things on them like Barre chords and have them sound in tune?
