Another future Ormsby classic makes its debut this month as the first Standard Series guitar is unveiled. The Standard Star is one in a range of Standard designs that will be available in the near future. Standards are still customizable within their specs, and are the perfect axe for the guitarist looking for a reliable workhorse. Check out the new photos in Galleries for a look at the new guitar. Ormsby Standard is the new standard!

The very first Ormsby VS Series guitar made its debut this month, winning fans at every showing! The classic lines and craftsmanship combine with amazing tone and sustain to serve notice on the industry that there is a new benchmark for WA production guitars.

August 2006 sees Graham Greene adding another impressive endorsement deal to his existing Ormsby agreement, signing on with US amplifier giant Mesa/Boogie.
The pairing of one of The West's guitar greats with the legendary amp company is one of two brilliant new partnerships - the other being the amazing match-up of Boogie and Ormsby!
The heart of Graham's new amp rig is the stunning Road King Advanced Amplifier Array in its 2x12 combo version, which is essentially four Dual Rectifiers in one superb unit. Stay tuned for recordings and live performances featuring the new sounds!

Leap Of Face, the new album from Ormsby artist Graham Greene is now available from select stockists in Perth including Ormsby Guitars. Graham used eight Ormsby guitars to record the album, including his new GG6 and GG7 signature guitars, making the album a very impressive recording debut indeed for Perry's instruments!  Mp3 downloads of tracks from Leap Of Face and other GG releases are available on the new GHP Digital website, and the CD is available online through GHP Digital and CD Baby. More details including a list of Perth stockists are on the Leap Of Face website.

Also joining the queue are Jason K (2 x PDV, 1 x Flying V, 1 x Shortwing V). and Mr X (Five string bass) and Phil K. Jason has ordered two PDV's, and two full customs which will BOTH blow some minds when they are finished... even I'm envious of Jason's upcoming guitars!
Mr. X has requested his design and identity is kept under secrecy until the big unveiling, which is no problem for us. The wild design and black theme will surely cause a stir, like any true Ormsby custom.
Last but not least, Phil K. has chosen a "Tribute" theme for his SS6-B after many discussions and brainstorming with Perry. We CANNOT WAIT to see this one come to life.

Signing on for new Ormsby guitars in 2006 are Clint and Joel from Pyromesh, who are currently putting the finishing touches on their new CD, Omnia.

Details and progress reports will be posted in the Diary page.

The new issue of Australian Guitar Magazine contains not only a new Ormsby advertisement but a glowing review of one of Perry's one-off custom guitars. On the Letters to the Editor page, the owner of the headless Blue Gargoyle Telefreaker reports that he is more than pleased with his personalised guitar - something that may stir up some interstate interest in what has been WA music's quiet achievers.  Read the letter and Editor's reply here.
