Loving it so far. Overall great experience.

Maybe keep detailed notes on each customers order or if that happens already make sure to double and triple check them.

Really appreciate the personal touch to the order - having one point of contact is great. Really appreciate the flexibility and help offered.

Salvus Baritone white in stock 6 string, the guitar sounds incredible and feels amazing. Got my money’s worth and THEN some!!! I’ll be buying more Halo guitars/ basses in the future, thank you for an incredible instrument.

Customer service is great! Everyone seems friendly and knowledgeable. Craftsmanship of the guitar is excellent also.

OCTAVIA - 6-String, Wide Neck PRO

I ordered a Salvus-6 Baritone and I like it a lot!

Custom Electric. It is a phenomenal and beautiful instrument 1 day in. The custom inlay and special electronics asks look like they were done at the highest possibly quality. I Have yet to plug in. Jeff is an angel and a wizard. The Halo team is the seal team six of guitar building.

I recieved my new Halo Octavia a few days ago! This is my first Halo guitar. The build quality is fantastic! I will eventually get around to doing a video review but for now I'll just write a not so brief post. My initial impression is a very positive one. I first noticed how heavy it was, especially for a chambered guitar. I like that. Don't get me wrong. It wasn't too heavy either. I've had other healdess guitar that I felt were too light and seemed to move around when really digging into rhythm notes. I have been an Ibanez guy for years. But, the neck profile is very comfortable I must say. It is a little thicker but not much. There wasn't a single bump or catch on the sides of the fretboard from the ends of the frets at all. This is somewhat of a pet peeve of mine as it seems there is always that one or two fret ends that are just a little rough on my Prestiges. Not the case here! Silky smooth! Speaking of silky smooth, the roasted maple neck is to die for! My thumb glides effortlessly along it. Love the satin finish. The end of the neck could use some attention. It's just a square block. Not a deal breaker but a nice curve or something would be cool. The neck joint allows for good upper registry access as well. It would be nice to see the body tapered or slanted a little bit at the bolt on joint to facilitate easier access but again, not a deal breaker. Love the Luminlay fret markers and side dots! The Flamed Maple top and finish are flawless! Like glass. It comes loaded with Fishman Fluence AND the USB jack in the back to plug it in. Hell yeah! I won't go over the pick ups. There are plenty of videos doing that already. The bridge will take some tinkering with. I don't know if the tuners need a little grease or something on them but a couple were hard as hell to turn. So much so that it made the adjacent tuners go out of tune as I had to use a death grip to turn it. It looks like other Chinese built bridges like GOC, etc. It came setup very well but I will change out the strings to my personal preference. Fortunately it looks like there is plenty of room to adjust intonation as I tune to B standard. The electronics cavity is shielded nicely. It looks like all the soldering was done nicely as well. The only reason I took the plate off in the first place was because something was something rattling around in there. Turned out to be a small ball of solder and a small piece of wire. No big deal. The output jack had a nice solid connection/feel when I plugged in the guitar cable. The pots were smooth and had no issues with them other than they both are crooked. Another stupid pet peeve of mine. But, having replaced them on other guitars I know it can be a little tricky to get them set just right so when you turn them they don't look like they're wobbling. Either a shorter pole or a longer knob will fix that. My Ibanez knobs are almost touching the body of the guitar and are perfectly level. The communication after buying the guitar while it was being setup was really nice. It gave me the feeling that if I had any issues with the guitar they would make it right. Hopefully I won't need to find out. The guitar was packed with plenty of bubble wrap and a cardboard box. There was also extra packing material in the guitar case. They even took off the selector switch knob so it wouldn't be damaged during shipment. It was in a little bag in the case. Nice touch! The guitar retails for $1499. It comes with an awesome locking hard shell case, all the necessary case candy and some Halo guitar picks! Plus, a certificate of authenticity and a t-shirt! I've never gotten a t-shirt when I bought a guitar. Not one from Strandberg, Kiesel or Ibanez. Nice touch Halo! Now they just need to make a model with a Sophia tremolo. I would definitely buy one. Overall, great job Halo. You killed it on the things that really matter most.

Received the Salvus today. It’s really nice. The sound feel and play are beyond my expectations. Worth the wait!

The design is beautiful & the sound is incredible! This was a gift for my father who is an AVID guitar collector/musician and he is over the moon happy & highly impressed with the look & sound of the guitar Halo designed. 5 stars, easy. Beautiful piece to add to the collection.

Simply stunning. One of the most beautiful guitars both sound wise, playability and looks that I have ever owned.

I ordered a lead guitar and it was FANTASTIC. I think everything was cool especially when we were in the pandemic.

Thank you Jeff, for everything. Your time, consideration, as well as just keeping me up to date and informed about any issues along the way. It's been a pleasure doing business with you so far. Stay safe, stay healthy. wish you, family & friends + company well... Rock on and keep stringing axes...

I ordered a salvus 6 evertune and this is the best guitar I ever had!! Everything is perfect about this guitar

Overall the guitar is gorgeous and given the price other factors make up for the above - the binding and bevels are very well done and the finish of the guitar top is absolutely beautiful. Appearance wise the guitar is breathtaking. The neck woods are beautiful and the neck joint is very ergonomic.

The wait was worth it. Everything is fine, it's a wonderful instrument.

If Marcus is the lead man on every order, you won't be needing any improving, solid man, friendly, gregarious, and one can hear the passion in his voice. Made me feel like I was his long lost best friend!
Instrument: Perhaps in the future, another iteration of the Clarus could be without a locking nut, and locking tuners instead, and maybe other color variants. I look forward to ordering more HALO guitars in the near future.

My Guitar is safely arrived today....thx a lot....Holy Moly what a fantastic piece of art! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This is my second Salvus; I bought a Salvus-6 a few years ago. It has been by far my most played guitar for that period of time; we will see if the new guitar is able to overtake it!

Jeff's promptness in answering questions and concerns was great and made me feel comfortable that I made the right choice.

Excellent customer service! Thank you!

From a customers standpoint Halo has no real need for improvement as i had zero issues with them. I can't speak for the internals of the company or the management, etc. I think its a great business model that offers people high quality instruments for a fair price.

I have some guitars more expensive, some twice as much, and I think this might be my new favorite! The guys at halo were responsive and friendly. Will definitely do business with them again.

Beautiful guitar, exactly as described, well packed. Another totally satisfied customer, thanks! :)

Great communication, helpful, easy transaction!
