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.

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.

I think this tool is great, but the SustainiacĀ® ,and more views besides the front would be nice

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.

This was awesome. Never seen anything like this anywhere else on the net before.
Plenty of options and lots of fun!

Pretty much everything!

Please add more "standard" body and headstock shapes like traditional Randy Rhoads/Flying V and explorers etc etc...
Add Custom Graphics for the Headstock!

Absolutely loving this thing, it's kept me really occupied the past week. Definitely ordering my next instrument from here.

*The range of choice. My word. The extent of custom available makes most other custom shop guitars look like production line material. There is no restriction to stick within a certain similarity to the presets, they're just there to help.
*The ability to select the back color irrespective of the front color. This is an amazingly rare service.
*The 'Special Instructions' section, and the assurance somebody will actually contact you and verify them. This is the golden part that makes the word 'custom' 100% true.
*All the elements actually are visually represented properly. Everything appears to scale, and doesn't look cluttered on (something even the best visualizers normally seem completely incapable of, not naming any names)
*Even the tool tips seem friendly. Makes you look forward to customer service.
*All the Disadvantages listed can be addressed one way or another.

*In order to change between selecting active or passive humbuckers, I had to go back and load another preset that already had the type in question.
*The transparent finishes aren't given the most flattering representation compared to their real-life counterparts
*No selection for neck profile/nut width, and no clear indicator of what the standard neck shape is
*No indication of the body thickness
*No indication of neck joint shape

Amazing guitars! Solid built, great sound and feel, and good action!

You get your own custom guitar
Lots of great bodies
Affordable price range (for a custom guitar)
A ton of options
Graphic images truly define the "custom" of these guitars
Sounds great
Pick your wood
Multiple kinds of pickups

None really, I just have some recommendations: You guys already have great stuff, but I do recommend carrying more kinds of Seymour Duncan pickups, like the SH-6 Distortion or the SH-16 59/Custom. Also, you guys should have a broken mirror style for the bodies too!

>several body and top woods
>many finishes
>tons of pickups
>great visuals

>no burst option
>only one viewing angle

HALO ADMIN RESPONSE: Burst options are now in development.
