This is quite literally the best guitar I have ever played in my entire life. It looks great, feels great, and sounds amazing! That aside though, what makes this guitar shine is the EverTune bridge. It simply stays in tune. Before I had a guitar with EverTune, during recording I would have to tune my guitar before pretty much every take to make sure it's in tune and strum lightly on rhythm parts to make sure the chords don't go sharp or I knock it out of tune quicker. EverTune fixes both of these problems and has honestly spoiled me. I generally check the tuning once before recording and it stays in tune for the entire session. Also you can set it up so no matter how hard you strum the guitar the chords will never go sharp when you strike the strings. As a result everything is always in tune, the rhythm guitar parts have more energy, and my creativity is at an all time high because I spend less time getting distracted with tuning and more time recording. I haven't brought this guitar on the road yet, but I'm confident the EverTune bridge will make things a breeze. I only have good things to say about this guitar.

Advantages: Sounds great
Looks great
Plays great
Never goes out of tune

Disadvantages: There really isn't any disadvantages. The only thing I can think of is changing tunings with an EverTune bridge requires a key instead of simply turning the tuning pegs, but that's a small price to pay for all of the advantages that come with having an EverTune bridge.

A lot of critiquing over a lack of angle shots but I haven't seen another site that does this feature better

Delivers a realistic image of the guitar you're creating.

Like others, there needs to be a P90 option. I personally would like a BLH semi hollow with a SD Antiquity bridge and an SD Phat Cat P90 neck pup. Additionally the Covenant and BLH scream for a Bigsby.
Last, the prices are very high. That puts them in Gretsch/Gibson pricing range but without any resale value

It is so cool to make your own guitar.
It Brings a lot of inspiration and options

You can build your own guitar and have so many little details, like how many frets to the scale of your fretboard. There are hollowbody versions of many style bodies. And there is a good assortiment of pick-ups.

I love doing this and will buy one soon when I have searched for all the details and kind of woods are cool to combine.

It is pretty expensive for something you can't really see the back and side of.

Also it would be cool if you could have new body styles like SG and have more tremolo styles like Bigsby.

The scale length doesnt change when you click on a diffrent length, so sometimes it looks kinda silly on the picture while in real it would look pretty bad-ass.
Middle pickups arent that many.

It's amazing. Literally the best guitar I've ever played. I actually feel spoiled by it haha. I wish I had a 6 string version of it as well to be honest and I would have no use for any of my other guitars haha.

I love the customization tool. I am able to build *almost* anything that I like, but definitely more than other custom builders allow for.

*Mix and match bodies, necks, hardware; completely customizable
*Fanned Fret option
*Premium Parts


*No angled pickup option in neck, middle, or bridge positions
*Cutaways for 27 fret models do not have all access
*No piezo pickup in the bridge option for floating tremolo
*No option for neck profiles (that I saw)

Awesome tool!


b0ss!!

*Angled pickups for multiscale models
*Dem bindings [bites lower lip]


*Different camera angles
*Halo pickups in cream for 7 and 8 strings
*Birdseye maple freatboards?
*Pink finishes pls

best guitar ever u guys have really stepped it up, love it!!!!!

The visualization is pretty awesome. They look accurate and there are some awesome options.

Advantages: -Cool interface
-Lots of selections
-Good models

Disadvantages: -Add more color options like orange
-Integrate this with the custom guitar builder
-Add an option to make a zebra pattern with any color combo

You can feel the quality right when you pick it up and run your fingers across the frets. The tone difference between the highs and lows is huge in the best way. Playability was easy and the transition was smooth. It felt even more comfortable than a conventional neck. Altogether I have no complaints. A great guitar all around.

Advantages: The new guitars are awesome I've been using them a lot on this tour.

The Merus is a sturdy sleek design that gets the job done. Sometimes simplicity is best and this is my go-to because of that.

Advantages: It has great tone and feels perfect slammed down to the frets. The Seymour Duncan Blackouts complement the baritone and bring out the low end nice.

I love the fact that i can change the body type of the guitar. That makes it so much more custom

This is right here, one of the finest guitar customisers out there!

The high amount of bodies, pickups, and electronics.
The quality of the electronics chosen, and the verity is massive.
Very creative.

Lack of the Dimarzio X2N pickup.
Less body choices than I'd like, such as no RR, SG or regular flying V.
No way to build up a guitar straight from scratch.

This website and tool is a whole lot of fun, although there are a few recommendations I have for you all. First, more pickguard options on bass/guitar. Not just colors, but designs. I feel like there are so many options for certain bodies PG wise, and we arent able to view them.
Second, add the option to make ANY body hollow body or semi hollow (guitar and bass).
Overall I enjoy this website and I have "built" many instruments on it. I wish there were ways I could hear what your basses sound like, as there are no reviews that I can find.

Fantastic! please, add neck shape (and maybe radius)

the most customizable

miss the neck shape

Very nice and cool guitar

Hey. First of all i want to say i've already spend hours with this tool. Being able to create my own costum shop guitar and being able to see the result is great! I also have shown this to many friends and they like it too! I pretty sure that i'm going to order my very personal costum shop guitar in the near future, so you will hear from me! :D
Greets from Vienna, Austria!



The only disadvantage: Add a Backview to the custmization tool, so you can see everything of the guitar.

I love this website and probably visit it at least once a week.

Best graphic guitar customizer I've found online
Simple
Wide variety of hardware and finishes

Suggestions
P90s
More pickguard options eg. Tortoiseshell, pearl finishes
Colour picker
Back and possibly side view
Also, when you tick straplocks, it doesn't show them

I have a dream guitar in mind always, and this really helps me visualize how it may look!

1. Everything makes sense.
2. You can SEE what it looks like!
3. Options, options, and more options!
4. Kahler bridges. I love floyds, but Kahlers feel more natural to me when I play.
5. CARBON FIBER FRETBOARD. Way better than any wood (IMO)

1. Can't see the back of the guitar.
2. Carbon fiber neck? If you have a carbon fiber fretboard, why not just make the whole neck carbon fiber?
3. No Lace Sensor pickups. Alumitones are nice, but what about like the silvers, blues, golds, etc.? They sound better in my opinion.
4. No EMG-89 or 89R. Or the 81TW.
5. No DiMarzio D-Activators for 6 strings
6. No roller nuts or roller saddle bridges.
7. An explorer style body shape would be nice. I love explorers.

I have absolutely fallen in total love with my Halo Seraphim-8. I love its fanned fret/multi-scale design. The guitar arrived in Maryland from California perfectly in tune and intonated; and it was sent during the middle of summer. The way the guitar is set up with its low action and 74-10 gauge strings feels great! The pickups are perfectly voiced for metal, and deliver a concise, clear, and articulate tone even when heavily distorted and/or drop tuned! I usually play in F# standard, but occasionally drop the F# down to E (a la Animals As Leaders), and the Seraphim delivers high quality tone and has met my demands as a player of a variety of genres from jazz to extreme metal! The neck and fretboard feel great, even though I have small hands, I am able to easily access all strings/notes/frets with ease. I really cannot say enough about my adoration for this instrument!

Advantages: Multi-scale/fanned fret design
Great action and intonation
Easy access to all frets
Neck feels great

Disadvantages: Pick-ups may be too hot for some, but can be lowered to make them cooler
Some may not like the non-traditional body shape

Awesome guitar! Took it to New York for a week, almost couldn't put it down. EMGs sound great, and the neck is very comfortable.

Advantages: Great features at a great price

Disadvantages: Still need to adjust to the evertune bridge (That's on me, not the guitar)

This is a fantastic tool and one day I'd love and be proud to own a Halo guitar

Lots of different options for styling, woods, binding, hardware

*Add black nickel hardware
*Make all the pickups available for 7/8 string options available for 6 string guitars (Warpigs, Nazgul, X2N, etc)
*Add an Explorer type body shape
*Add an SG type body shape
*Add options for neck radius/shape
*Add natural wood binding options

This is a very wonderful guitar!

Cool

I can design it

anyone

I'd really love if there were more headstocks and maybe a few more body shapes. like the gibson explorer/ dean metalman z. Other than that these guitars are fantastic!
