This is the most useful tool Ive seen in a long time.

Brilliant representation of the guitar!

Maybe a Mustang-style body?
Not enough views of the guitar
Why not add a relicing option?

Honestly I love this. I have been looking at ideas for a custom guitar for a long time, and Halo does it right. I won't be buying anything yet as I haven't found exactly what I want yet, but Halo has gotten extremely close.

•Plenty of options that let you really get a good and realistic idea of what you'll be getting.
•Halo is the only site that I've come across, in which you can pick what you want, that offers string options past 7, and has wonderful options for 7 strings. Other sites do have some of this stuff but it just isn't quality.

•More body options. When I buy a 7-string, I'm choosing to have 27 frets, however any of the options here the body cuts off the fret board access around the 21st and 22nd fret, if not farther. I may have to just personally contact Halo about this though because there are carves that I want on my guitar for easier fret board access that isn't standard.
•On that note! More body contour options please.
•Not enough headstock options. I love the reverse headstock look and I'll be doing that for my 7 string, and a 6 if I feel the need to buy another 6, however for an 8 string I want a headstock like Ibanez, the V look at the top is something I want for an 8 string.
•Halo is incredible, these disadvantages are just because I'm really picky and would like these available options!

It's great but the burst on the solid body BLH is screwed up, It NEEDS to be fixed.

*** HALO ADMIN RESPONSE: Thanks for bringing this to our attention. The problem has been fixed! April 29, 2015 ***

This is a great, well put together, easy to use customizer! Fun to use and cool to see what you can create!

-Has a wide range of body designs to use
-Many different styles of pickups
-Easy to use

-I'd like to see at least one active humbucker middle pickup added
-as always, More body shapes! I'd love to see an explorer and Firebird IV added

This is definitely a good way to create you ideal acoustic guitar.

Advantages: You can get a good visual resemblance of what you guitar will look like before you spend any money.

Disadvantages: Needs more top woods.
Need to be able to load Jpeg files for custom inlays.

Quadbert on 02/22/2015 Purchased: CLARUS - EverTune, 6-String, Blue
Intonates like a Dream.
Plays really well.
Makes me want to write an album.

Advantages: Best Evertune guitar I've tried. Had to send a few back from other manufacturers. Some costing triple what this solid piece of equipment did.

Disadvantages: Very minor scratches on the back.

This is by far the best virtual guitars builder around right now.

-Great high resolution picture of the guitar.
-Tons of options for everything.


-It would be great to see the guitars from other angles. A 3D model would be absolutely killer.
-More color options for both the guitar and hardware. Like a spectrum would be awesome for the body and brushed or graphite color hardware would be nice.
-As well as a spectrum for the guitar color, a gradient for the burst would be good, like how dark it gets and how quickly it fades out.
-More pickup options please.
-More binding options. Like more colors and an option for natural binding, like having the edge of a maple top natural.
-Being able to choose the thickness and width and the radius of the neck would probably be the addition I would like the most.
-More inlay options. I know you can get a custom thing but more options in the builder would be good.

Jeff on 01/23/2015 Purchased: CLARUS - EverTune, 6-String, Blue
These guitars are so comfortable to play... low action, buzz free, the intonation is spot on, and I never have to re-tune!

Advantages: Best intonation I have ever heard. Period.

Disadvantages: Can't change tunings on the fly.

I left the action the same as what it had set from Halo. It's been five days since I changed the strings and it is still perfectly tuned with spot on intonation on every fret. I want to thank you for selling this Guitar which plays and sounds as good as my treasured 1998 Parker Fly Deluxe

I love this customization tool; by far the best I've ever seen. I'm also happy you folks keep improving it. I hope that some day this will be my first step in acquiring one of your fantastic custom guitars.

Tons of options.
Generally realistic appearance.
Best customization tool yet.

If I could make one addition to this tool, it would be an accurate, visible change when scale length is altered; that can make a huge difference in the appearance of a guitar.
Some of the transparent colors are kinda MS Paint looking, and reduce their own desirability (whereas in real life, your transparent color finishes are beautiful).

I really love using the customization. It's very straightforward and easy to use. Plus it has loads of cool options. I will definitely be using it to purchase a custom guitar in the future. The burst option is fantastic but I wish there was an option to make the back of the guitar and neck burst colored as well. I would also love to see a true temperament fret option.

Simple, straightforward design.
Easy to use.
Plenty of options.

No rear burst option.
No true temperament frets.

Amazing tool and graphic for seeing your dream guitar come to life.

It's quick, it's easy... It's as open and shut as you can get when thinking up a guitar and putting a basic image to it.

My only complaints are very simple.

> A stainless steel fret option
>An option to deepen and widen the cutaway on certain models?

Thank you for having options.

This company has a great idea with allowing the customer to choose from various options.

*GRAPHITE REINFORCENT RODS* need to be available. We need a VOLUTE option too. How is the quality of wood and labor for these "Custom Guitars"? Side rectangular position markers needed.

variety of options

could be better, but the customization of guitars is limitless in real life

This is an extraordinaire tool! Its something I've personally been waiting for for quite some time now. It is great to finally see it here, and it is nice to see how many unique designs can come of this. This provides customs comfort as designers finally get to see what they are asking for, and that is certainly never a bad thing.

Versatility in a custom guitar shop is what makes a custom guitar shop, well, custom.

The new burst options open so many new doors for design (thanks!).

There are a lot of options offered for us to work with. The designs that can come of this are ample and the process is engaging, simple, and fun.

Also, that price range is nice to see considering this is a custom guitar tool.

I think the tool is already on a more-than-good level of efficiency. However, with the more options being implemented, organization in the tool's design could turn into a hodgepodge. For example, pickup options. There are a lovely selection of pickups here, but the list is getting too large for me to have to click 5-6 times to get from start to finish of the list. It could become more time consuming as more items are added.

Why not divide the pickups (or other sections) up by brand within the active and passive categories?

Also, why not add more vintage pickup options to the list (TV Jones, Mojo pickups, and brands already listed).

Maybe implement a backside view or a side view of the guitar.

This is super great. You can make any type of guitar you dream of.

You can design whatever you want and it costs pretty much less than a Gibson.

Needs more pickup choices. A color wheel would come in handy. More headstock shapes, I personally find the default inline headstocks to be pretty ugly.

I love that you guys have this feature. Very few companies offer a real-time customization tool where you can see your guitar being designed. I give it 4 stars only because there are certain features that aren't available....yet. Keep up the good work!

Great set of options all around! From the color choices (the new burst option is great!), to the wood selection, pickups, bridge choices & hardware color, this makes it truly enjoyable and piques the interest on possibilities.

Would like to see what the design looks like from behind as others have suggested.

Also for ERG players like myself, I would love it if you guys updated the 9- and 10-string options so we can see what it looks like with the correct number of strings.

Another cool idea would be to add an inlay customization option similar to the body graphics. I always enjoy seeing custom inlay work.

Finally the guitar is in my hands!
(the duty did their job and got it first ;-) )
Just wanna say thanks because the guitar is a dream.
I did researches around the net to find a 6 string baritone guitar with a
tremolo and i got zero results.
So you guys helped me out ...

Keep up the good work.
Take care,

Rob
