Reviews

The site is amazing. The customer service is the best I have ever seen. The simulator is incredibly well designed. And the instruments themselves are well worth the money you pay for! 11/10

I think the guitars are great. They're expensive. But I think it'll be ok since I joined the mail list and got $500 promotion. I just wonder about the neck shape. Could it be customized?

I love this! Although I don't have the money **because they are super over priced** it is fun to come here and wish I had it! :) I do wish it was more affordable.

Nice looking guitars, but the prices are RIDICULOUS! Remember, these are CHINESE made guitars. These guys are getting like a 300% markup on these things. You can get a USA made Gibson cheaper than their LP looking model. Completely ridiculous!

*** Halo Admin Response: Hi Eric, our production model LP-style models are priced below USA Gibson guitars. But, the pricing here applies to our build-to-order service (custom shop), and we need to charge higher prices because it requires a lot more time and resources to build these guitars compared to a production run. For reference, Gibson Custom Shop LP's are priced around 4 to 8 times the price of a Halo Custom Shop LP-style guitar. - Jeff Lee, Halo ***

Excellent tool, very user friendly and makes viewing the wide range of BKP pickup options much easier.

Would be cool if there was the option to change the background to different guitar woods and finishes to see how the pickups would look across a variety of different guitars.

I came to this site to get an 84 explorer with a floyd rose. I got exelent service from Jeff, who is very quick to respond to emails, making everything quick and easy as he told me everything I needed to know. My only complaint is the price, which is why im ordering from a differet person. Overall the service i got was exeptional. Once i have a bigger budget I will definitely come here for my explorer

I love it, They only things I would like to see added, would be perloid pickguards, the ability to put pickguards on the merus body, and a wider range of body shapes, like a ML style or an explorer style. otherwise I love it!!!

An awesome builder for those who love custom guitars,the bad thing is that there is a bug, everytime I try to use the white solid in the back neck of the guitar it doesn't work.

Advantages:
-How it's looks the guitar.
-A great selection of bodies.
-Many pickups from where choose from.
-Able to switch view to see the back of the guitar (finally).

Recomendations:
-EMG Red pickups(that would be incredible).
-More inlays design.
-Red binding.
-More colors.
-More bodies like the Gibson Explorer, Flying V Gibson, Firebird, ML, Razorback, Iceman, Star, Warlock. Even new models made by Halo.
-Bring back from the dead the old headstocks like the classic, the old select and the other types of inline headstocks.
-Fix the 9 and 10 strings view.

Okay so I love this website, however it lacks a lot of things. There are no fodera or ritter (yes I know these examples are very pricey however many lesser known companies make similar bodies for much less money) style single cut bodies, they're missing a lot of pick ups like the nordstrand bigman and the bartolini quad coils. Another big one is wood choice, I'd love bubinga, wenge, koa, burl, purpleheart, cocobolo, etc. I know these woods would come at a higher price but to me it would be well worth it, although in my opinion with the current wood choices I do thing these basses are a bit over priced.

This is an awesome guitar customization tool.

Pros: Accurate representation of guitar/bass to be built with the works.

Cons: Can't change the number of strings on the acoustic guitar customization tool.

Synopsis: A great tool that is simple to use and very aesthetically pleasing to look at. I've tried finding other guitar tools similar to this online and your company does it the best. Overall I give it a solid 4/5 stars with the lack of the one star due to the acoustic guitar tool.
Keep up the good work guys!

Got my bass a couple days ago and i could not be more pleased. It is more beautiful than i imagined, it plays like a dream and sounds great. Thanks again for making it possible for me to own the perfect bass.

I like how you can create almost any guitar by just the touch of a button but for some reason the pickups won't show up for me that's why i rated 4 stars

*** HALO ADMIN RESPONSE: Hi Quintan - try clearing your web browser's cache and try again. That usually solves any problem with our Customization Tools. Thanks! ***

Just epic, only take look at the BLH, DLH and Covenant pickguard. when you put a pickup is not partialli under the pickguard.

Awesome virtual building tool!

Please add a seafoam-green and a dark-red/burgundy to the color options!!!!! That would be awesome!

Have been playing my guitar for the past couple of weeks and am happy to say it is perfect! Plays and sounds like a dream. I am very impressed with this instrument. The quality and craftsmanship are outstanding. My compliments to your factory and your production team.

the pprogram didnt worked at all i tred it on alot of difrent devices networks and browsers im living in esrael i dont know if the probleam relates to the cantry or if it a general probleam but i well be glad if you well fix it soon

*** Halo Admin Response: Hi Ori, sorry to hear the issue you're experiencing. We're unable to duplicate the problem, but you could try to update your browser to the current version, and also clear your browser's cache, then try launching the Guitar Customization Tool again. Thank you ***

First off, I love this guitar to death! I can't put it down, great sound, and playability, low action right out of the box! I'd recommend this beast to anyone looking! Shout out to Jeff for being so awesome!!!

I've had a ton of fun building stuff on here, but have one recommendation: More pickguard options. I would build and buy one of these in a heartbeat if I could put a checker-print pickguard on it. I would love for this to be addressed, and I would absolutely be the proud owner of a Halo if it was.

4 stars for only a reason: I need just some things

SG body
Tele bridge

and I surely need these things:
12 string electric guitar
8 and 10 strings bass

I freakin' love this simulator, but i think you should add these things:

Body shapes
EB 0/3 like shape
Rickenbacker 4000 series
Flying V
Thunderbird
Explorer (for me the chainbreaker is too extreme)
Mustang
Musica Man (obviously i want his epic pickguard)

Headstocks
Enlarge the traditional one on guitar

Pickups
Add Rickenbacker 4000-like pickups

Other
Add more options for the pickguard (like tort-shell or black pearloid or abalone)

I'll still love this, even if you don't add these things

This review is for the custom creator.
There are SO MANY options here! It's not only brilliant, but it's hard service for anyone to top. Jackson still has custom forms where you just check off things and 100% have to guess. If you want a graphic representation on it, you have to send it in with the custom form. This is simple and clear. I have some things I'd love to see, since I'd make these modifications to a guitar after ordering anyway, I'd like to see a wider range of pickups. By that I mean brands like EVH especially, and more popular options in the other brands, such as the Dimarzio Super 3. Just a thought.
Keep working on it!
Maybe use Fender's builder as a template on looks (3 angles, HD, etc.) , but keep your huge range of options. 10/10!

Very nice guitar builder. One of if not the best out there.

I love these guitars. They really are great. The best part about them is that they quality is astounding. really give them a 5 star rating!!!!!

I'll just give a sort of list of things, that you guys, even with so much done work, I think have to or must do. It will be great for all
So, here we go
Guitar bodies:
Fender Mustang
Starcaster
Coronado
Toronado
Double cut Tele
Gibson SG
Archtops
Explorer
Flying V
Firebird
Double Cut Les Paul
Epiphone Wilshire
PRS bodies

Details:
Jaguar & Jazz-r bridges
Tele bridge
Different pickguards for different guitar bodies (Deluxe 72, different Thinline pickguards for Tele, for ex.)

If you had the classic flying v guitar gibson in models, my dreams would take place
