The ORM1 is based on the second Jet King body style. It has a mahogany body bolted to a 24" scale laminated mahogany neck with a classic Ibanez 'tulip' headstock and a 22 fret rosewood fingerboard with pearloid block position markers. Components include a single-coil sized humbucker specially designed for this model and in the bridge position, a Tune-o-matic style Gibraltar III bridge with through-body string routing, and Ibanez die-cast tuning machines.
A left-handed variant, the ORM1L, was also produced (Rodriguez-Lopez is himself left-handed). In 2008 the ORM1 was available in black only, but was offered only in white starting the following year.
