I love this, it's great. I can make a completely customized guitar for a fraction of the price I'd pay with ESP.

Good choices, well priced, nice body designs.

It'd be great to have a kill switch option, both button and toggle mini switch. 360 degree view would be nice. The locking nut not be an option exclusive to trems, more pickup selection.

You guys really need to add a Gibson SG body shape. Would really help if you also had P90s in there, as well as some Sunburst colors.

Accurate view of what it would look like for real
Huge selection of materials
Good prices for what this is

Cannot see instrument(s) at all angles
Not as many "classical" shapes.

Add burst or bust! Seriously, great tool, I do wish there were more options in the finish department though.

Great!

the customisation

you shoud make a 0 preset, where one can choose all the components available, because for example when I choose a preset I find only some pickup available, but when I choose another preset I see other pickup I cannot see in the previous one. It's frustrating

***HALO RESPONSE: All our presets are compatible with all our pickup options. To see all the pickup options, simply toggle between "active pickups" and "passive pickups" by clicking the blue text in the main pickup selection screen. ***

thanks to Halo Guitar now i can use my wild imagination for make my own fav. guitar model that i want...

visualization,guitar model,pickup choice are enough for make people like me spend a whole day to design my own model guitar through this website

Suggestions:
1. please add more headstock maybe like telecaster model,inverted telecaster,stratocaster and inverted stratocaster
2. P90 pickup type on pickup choice...
3. since some people like experiment on their guitar, maybe you can make a pickup choice like 4 single coils (S-S-S-S), triple humbucker,mixed active and passive pickups etc.
4. for color choice maybe Halo guitar can add more color choice
5. we can chose switch location on all of model, since some people maybe like switch on Covenant model appear around knobs,switch on Merus model appear on top, etc.

*** HALO ADMIN RESPONSE:
1. Thanks for your suggestions! We try to respect the original designs of other guitar companies & luthiers. So, we cannot offer the Strat and Tele headstock shapes. But, we will consider offering something similar and inspired by those designs.
2. We've received a lot of P90 requests and will include that in a future update.
3. This is possible in the Special Instructions, definitely.
4. We've had a lot of requests for this, and plan to offer Burst Finishes in a future update.
5. This is possible in the Special Instructions, also.

Hey, I just wanted to let you know everything's good with the guitar. Everything is solid and put together well, and it's a good instrument for the price we paid for it. Sounds great, plays smoothly. I don't have any complaints really. I also want to thank you for keeping in touch, and putting up with my badgering throughout the process haha it reflects well on your company!

This is really awesome!

Finally a place to really customize a guitar to make it fit your own style.

I really miss an option to have a burst avalible as color. More body and headstoch shapes would be awesome too.
Keep up the great work!

Great tool! It''s really nice to actually see what you are ordering, instead of just filling out a form. Seriously looking forward to buying a guitar from you guys!

Visual aspects
Clean and straight to the point
Endless creations

No backside view
No Neck thickness customization
Only 4 types of wood (and tops)
Can't change the type of headstock wood, will always stay the same as the neck wood

since Halo had a build giveaway I've came to the customization tool almost every day trying to make the best guitar under $1500
lol
Sometimes we think about an ideal guitar in theory, but seeing the graphic representation of the guitar your dreaming about really helps to make sure it will look good.

Just great! i'm realy having fun

I don't know if anyone has pointed it out but...:
1.) When you choose the salvus model with a satin finish and flat contour it still show the guitar with having the forearm contour. the price gets corrected though.
And when you choose the salvus model with a satin finish and the forearm contour it shows an over sized texture.
When the gloss finish is selected everything is fine

2.) the price of the body top is being calculated as $80,00

*** Halo Response: thank you for bringing #1 to our attention. We are fixing it. Regarding #2: the body tops are $50. If you chose to match the headstock with the body, then the price adjusts an additional $30. It's our guess that you see an $80 price increase because you are selecting a body top and matched headstock combination ($50 + $30 = $80). ***

I had lots of fun doing all kinds of wicked instruments and some classic designs as well.

*Very realistic looking representation.
*A wide selection of hardware.

Suggestions:
*Different angles to see the guitar.
*Add Sperzel Trim-Lok to the tuning machines.
*Add Super-Vee Blade Runner to the tremolo bridges.
*Sunburst finishes.
*Make your own color feature.
*Different neck joints.
*Angled pickups (Like a B.C Rich Gunslinger or Jake E. Lee Signature Charvel).
*Add P90's to the list of pickups.

the only and the best creator for the seven, eight and multiscale guitars, I love to waste time here on creating new projects :)

- seven and eight string models
- wide selection of pickups
- multiscale visualisation
- a looot of hardware to choose between

- there should be more shapes
- user should be able to generate guitar colour himself (like it is in popular SG/SC editor by Frank Montag)
-also there could be option of generating colour of bobbins in pickup (it is standard open humbuckers)
-more neck inlays
-more colors of binding

I really really liked this builder, and in my opinion it's almost as good as Warmoth's! If you improved it just the slightest bit, for example, I would LOVE to see a bass option, especially since I myself am a bass player haha. But I understand that it's a new thing, and you guys did awesome on it!!

Great features, very specific, visuals

No bass option!!!

*** HALO RESPONSE: we are adding the Bass Customization Tool this year. It is currently in planning and development. ***

This is a great tool, I love using it!! It gives the freedom of designing something you can call your own. And it makes it so easy to design without trying to imagine what it looks like, because you can see what it looks like straight off.

I'm still itching to see the 9 and 10 string option and I wouldn't mind seeing a version of this tool for bass as well. On top of that, a Bigsby bridge for the BLH and the Covenant body styles and maybe a few more pickup options and colour options.

I didn't see an option for neck shape, add that and I will definitely consider ordering a custom guitar from HCG.

Cool guitar building tool!

Easy to make a kickass looking guitar and stuff.

It would be better if there were more options for angled pickups on multi-scale necks. It would be cool to have the EMG X series or the Metalworks series angled instead of straight across.

More manufacturers should have this in their custom shop tool gives out a great visualization of what could be.
The first time I found out about it I spent hours making lord knows how many guitars
Eagerly looking forward to customizing 7/8 string guitars, how long do you think till you have this feature up?
