If you are familiar with the guitar playing of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez from bands such as The Mars Volta and At The Drive-In, you’ll understand what Ibanez is aiming at with the ORM1 electric guitar. The Ibanez ORM1 features a Jet King shaped mahogany body; a 24” scale mahogany neck with Ibanez ‘tulip’ headstock; a rosewood fretboard with block pearl inlays; Gibraltar III bridge with high-output ACH-BL mini-humbucker.

The ORM1 has a distinctly small mahogany body fashioned in the traditional Jet King shape. So if you are short in stature or you want the maximum mobility on stage the ORM1’s small body is perfect for you. The ORM1 is an easy and comfortable guitar to play when you combine the small body with a user-friendly 24 inch scale neck. The shorter scale makes those impossible stretches reachable.

The ORM1 allows for a very low action if required and includes the outstanding full locking Gibraltar III bridge – both adding to the overall playability of the guitar. The Ibanez ORM features the high-outputing ACH-BL mini-humbucker pickup in the bridge position. This blade humbucking pickup is only the size of a single coil yet is a top performer for output. The ACH-BL has a ceramic magnet which makes the guitar perfect for that large amplified sound that The Mars Volta is famous for. The affordable ORM1 might just be the guitar you’ve been looking for with its unique looks, an ultra-comfortable Jet-King body, a very manageable 24” scale neck and an effective humbucking bridge pickup. When you shop around for guitars in the ORM1 price range this guitar is going to be hard to beat for value-for-money.
