When I was first looking at company’s that offer custom basses, they all seemed overly complicated and hard to contact. Halo not only was easy to email and communicate with, but the instrument design tool on the website is completely awesome and really allowed me to see all of the amazing options they had. I got my bass about a week ago, and it is exactly how I imagined it. It looks amazing and sounds great. If I ever ordered another custom instrument then I would definitely go with halo, and would also suggest them to anyone looking for a custom bass/guitar. Halo is a great company, and my bass was definitely a dream come true.

The guitar is a BEAST (Custom Merus 7 string), great for both rhythm and lead work. Guitar feels great to play and its 27-inch scale length with the Evertune bridge provides perfect intonation even on the low F# string. Fishman pickups provide crushing tones, breeze to recharge with built-in USB charging port. Jeff was great in suggesting additional improvements I didn't initially think about.

Easy to play with the wide neck

(Custom Covenant 4-R-Bass) I just wanted to say thank you, my bass sounds great, (warm, fat sound, I was looking for). You guys were a pleasure to work and do business with. You did everything you promised. Again it was a pleasure doing business with a company that deals from the top of the deck. I wish Halo Guitars nothing but the best in the future. Enjoy, Guy

Great guitar, well finished and set up perfectly even the intonation was spot on. Excellent value.

Halo Covenant 6 Custom

its the best object i've ever touched. Only issue is a screw stripped in the shipping progress but it was fixed by the company swiftly. I genuinely love this thing. Thanks jeff and marcus for ending my GAS. I dont even like looking at other guitars anymore.

Its better than I imagined! Heard about Halo through Youtube personalities testing the guitars out (ie. Ryan bruce, Ola englund, etc. ). Ordered a 7 string defeater with lace pickups.

build quality was impeccable. Looks, feels and sounds top notch.

It is absolutely incredible. I had my now fiance make the guitar as a game on the online builder and then I ordered it for him. I was wondering how close it would look to the builder, but it was perfect. If anything it is better than I expected.

I dramatically underestimated the time, which is my fault as it's a custom guitar. It all ended up being fine, but maybe a heads up before placing the order for people like me that custom guitars take time would be a good idea.

The guitar is absolutely incredible and the process was so easy and fun.

Holy crap..... I found your site by accident and this was my choice. Absolutely mind blowing the amount of choices available.
All ive got to do is hope a small lottery win would come my way. top website!!

This guitar is my main for studio work, gigging, and everything in between. It sounds INCREDIBLE. The 8 string Seymour PUPs do something very special tonally. Comparing it to other guitars with the same PUPs it sounds tighter and has a more aggressive top end. The build quality is superb, and the finish is nearly flawless. The neck on mine is a medium C shape. It's a bit thicker but it's unbelievably comfy, even with my slightly small hands. The 27-25.5 scale is great, I play in Drop G# and use a 10-64 set for the low string. The tension is perfect. My single complaint and the only reason I gave 4 stars is the weight. This is a studio guitar 80% of the time so I hardly mind, and it's probably a factor as to why it sounds so good. It is one of the heaviest guitars I've played. For me, I would buy this guitar again at full price, even as heavy as mine is. My friends have described playing it as riding a stallion bareback, she's fast and powerful. I recommend this guitar to anyone.

I ordered an electric guitar. Took a tad longer than expected but otherwise they made a GREAT guitar.

I'm impressed with the quality of the guitar itself! Finish is nice and clean no obvious over spray or marks! Haven't had the chance to play it too much yet but I do enjoy the neck profile so far! I have huge man hands so a slightly thicker neck for 6 strings is perfect! The only bummer is one saddle came broken on the Floyd but your crew was very responsive and quick to send me a replacement! Your crew is doing a great job! Keep it up :)

Fast shipping, very well packaged... and this guitar is AMAZING. Action is tastefully low and fast, fretwork is fantastic. Finish is incredible, wood grain is delightful. Binding is well done... Worth well more than the price paid. I will be buying from halo again soon.

Its absolutely amazing! It plays like a dream! Thank you so much!

6 string "Soul" arch-top guitar with a flame maple top in a dragon burst. I absolutely love the guitar! It came out exactly as I ordered it. It plays very smooth and in my opinion you can't beat the price on a fully custom guitar.

I originally went to a local guitar maker and they told me they can't make what I wanted. Luckily I found Halo online. The guitar builder software on the web page is super fun and helped me design what I wanted. The team was very responsive answering my questions during the design phase. Design and order was super easy. The build time was reasonable and realistic. In the end the guitar was exactly what I wanted and I feel the price for a custom build was bargain.

Merus 7, it has been a great metal machine, one of the best in my collection so far.

I really can’t find anything I don’t like about it (a Strat-style, with wide nut 48 mm). The craftsmanship is excellent; the fretwork is especially good. I can’t find any defects at all. It plays great.

I ordered a custom Salvus. So far I quite like it. It's a very well made guitar with a great finish. Getting a fully custom instrument for this price is a great deal. I think the online customization tool is great. It made me much more comfortable since I knew almost exactly what I was getting.

A 6 string custom with the Soul body. I would recommend

Very pleased.

Hollowbody 6 strings guitar. The guitar is just gorgeous and it plays wonderfully, I love it.

I'm absolutely loving it! (Custom Halo Merus 6 string) Sounds amazing and looks beautiful!

This is my second Halo Custom Guitar, I´m totally proud of, this time is a baritone VG 6 strings, with James Hetfield EMG Set, really love the tone and how was made, just perfect for metal and low tunes, thanks once again! I would like to see more body and headstock shapes in the future, I'm pretty sure of Halo team are woking on that. I think you guys can do a really better job on your social media accounts, please be more active, we love to see your art
