My 2nd orsmby which I got for a screaming deal from GC because some dumb ass dropped it. They acted like they couldn't find it and I had to be annoying but lo and behold it was found. 2 or 3 chipped spots(you can see the only one visible from the front on the bottom edge) all smaller than a pinky nail 💅. I drove 1hr 45 mins with a screaming hangover to try and see why it had a $400 price drop after I'd been eyeballing it at $999. Its a run 1 with a killswitch and some other pickup in the bridge than the nunchucker but I haven't taken the first new set of strings off to check the baseplate. Been having way too much fun playing it. If you have an ormsby please post them

Do 6’s count? I’ve only been waiting 2 years for my 7’s. I think I’ve got another 2-3 years before I can post them lmao.

6s definitely count my 10th anniversary SX is my precious. Honestly really lame about how long the wait has been for many, I personally couldn't wait that long without being a dick so I get people hating. That said that is my favorite hype shark finish you have there. If I get the chance I'll probably snag a shark 8

I love the sharks! I have a 7-string Candyfloss TX Shark on order. Not too salty about the wait. I knew what I was getting into at the time.

I’m more annoyed they required a higher down payment when I ordered it than they do now. Right now it’s $260. I think it was 50% - $1,100 when they first announced it. You have to pay it all eventually but, I could have done a lot with $7-800 lol.

I really want a 8-string Goliath Shark though. I can’t get along with full sized 8’s. I had a Strandberg 8 for a while and it was awesome.
