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.

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)

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.

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.

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

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!

A very well thought out and easy to use customization considering that few have this simulation.

1. Reduces time and resources
2. You are the master builder
3. Simple and understandable
4. Apllied on all guitars
5. Wide range of pickup selections

1. High retail price
2. Not enough selections for everything
3. Need assistance to create a custom design
4. Too expensive
5. No scrolling for wide selections (bodies, pickups)
6. No free contour options
7. Small wood selections for bodies and necks
8. No staining options
9. Too expensive
10. Doesn't seem custom, more so like picking out options.
11. No viewing options other than top view
12. Small amount of binding options
13. Limited custom graphic help
14. Inlays and bindings limited and none free
15. Limited headstock shapes
16. Limited nut options
17. Limited truss rod covers
18. Limited amount of free bridges
19. Few tuner options
20. Pickgaurd selections limited and none free
21. Small amount of a wide variety of pickups, no signature models e.g. Mick Thomson AHB-3
22. Small selection of controls and placement
23. Small amount of knob selections
24. Three-way toggle switches only, no blade or other options
25. Special options page is limited before assistance
26. No kit options for the DIY person
27. Expensive
28. No one is there to assists directly and in real time
29. No economy guitars
30. Very different than ording from Carvin custom guitars

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!
