Want to hate it, forced to LOVE it! Love the spring body. Soon Chapman will steal your idea and call it "Tone spring body"
What a uniquely Innovative body style great job
Agree with John Stitt. Love the guitar and the build videos! I’m afraid the demo has way too much reverb and makes it hard to hear the pure tones of the guitar.
My suggestion as a player and potential buyer would be: dry signal first (no effects at all), then introduce some crunch and heavier tones so we can hear how the guitar and pickup interact. I’d also like to be given a short demo on how much sustain the guitar has. After that, open it up to some subtle effects to go more ‘artsy’ with clean + ‘verb and then heavier, processed tones to finish. That would tell me what I would like to know about the guitar if I was considering a purchase.
I don’t want to be ‘that guy’ ripping on your demo, because I do appreciate the effort you have put in to showing this amazing guitar. Hoping you’ll just take it as intended….hopefully helpful suggestions for subsequent demos.
Best wishes 🤘
Fuera de lo común ,esquisita obra🤝👏👏👏👏👏👏🤯😱😱😱😱
Amazing work 🤟 I like 👍🏻
yo that's a cool design, although not sure how comfortable to hodl
Good design...Flying V's are interestingly ergonomic for sitting position, which convieniently accommodates the headless design in this case. I'll bet it's a nicely lightweight too.
The best demo is to show us how it sounds clean and dirty with a completely dry signal. No reverb at all.
Now build a solid body just like that 🤘🤟😎🎸👍🙌
I'm the guy in the demo, take it from me...this guitar is wicked. Rock On, Skeletor!

Much love and long live orbital guitars!
We don’t doubt the quality of the guitar. There was so much reverb it overshadowed everything. As I said the best demo is completely dry with no reverb and only guitar. Clean then dirty test on all pickups. I do not doubt your playing or the quality of the guitar. Both seem good to me. When I buy or build a guitar the dry test tells me everything I want to know. I have spread the word to my friends who are looking for a high quality guitar about Orbital guitars just to be clear. They ask questions.... I send the Orbital guitar email address. ✌️🎸
