GTR RUN 6 - HYPE GTR

 JOIN OUR FACEBOOK GROUP FOR FULL DETAILS and updates.​

THIS RUN IS CLOSED FOR PREORDERS!
​Please check our REVERB store for stock.

The GTR range is our first production ready instrument range. Based on the Hypemachine, SX and the new TX  and Goliath designs, and featuring both Multiscale and regular fret layout, these instruments are built to withstand the rigours of touring, without the custom build price tag.

Two years ago, we decided the time was right to start exploring the option of production based instruments. Since then we have been refining designs, material lists and production teams, hardware supplies and scheduling. We decided on two designs to start with, the SX GTR and the HypeGTR, both in a seven string Multiscale (fanned fret) format, with eight string versions to follow in the future. For the second run, we added the TX model, and eights string HypeGTRs.

We opened up a discussion group for those interested, and decided on the final touches to make these instruments the best they can be. You can join us in that group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/743881065725837/

 HYPEGTR - MULTISCALE

MULTISCALE - DIMENSIONS

The fanned arrangement of the Multiscale fretboard creates scale lengths for each individual string. We generally call this the "spread". For the GTR range, the spread is as follows:
Six string: 25.5" - 27.5" Multiscale
Seven string: 25.5" - 27.8" Multiscale

Eight String: 25.5" - 28.2" Multiscale

Due to the increased scale length on the bass side, the tension of the strings increases. We recommend you try dropping a gauge on the bottom end, for example, if you usually use 9-46's, try 9-42's. To learn more about Multiscale, please view our information page here.

Body dimensions (thickness): 38mm HypeGTR. The TX model has a 42mm thickness. For comparison, Jacksons, Ibanez RG, Fender Strats, etc are generally 47mm.

Neck shape: 19mm @ 1st, 21 @ 17th, D shape with round shoulders.
AKA "thin U" (NOTE: this has changed from previous runs!)
, carbon reinforced rods

HARDWARE
The bridges are custom made for us to exacting tolerances by our partners at Hipshot, using a variety of materials proven for longevity and tone. Hipshot machineheads (locking).

About the paint: Platinum Pearl is a three stage paint with stunning effects. Starting with a pure white base coat, a layer of finely ground pearl pigment (white in colour) is applied in a clear coat. From there, more clear is added for depth. If you compare this to metallic paints, which are ground aluminium dust mixed directly with colour, pearls add more shimmering depth and refraction of light.
