Ordered a custom baritone length guitar. She is beautiful and the neck is wickedly fast!

I ordered a custom Clarus VI & I am extremely satisfied with how it turned out. It was flawless when I took it out of the case. The only thing I even had to do was tighten 1 screw on The Floyd Rose bridge & fine tune the strings a little more seeing how they were brand new & still had some stretching to do. The paint job was even prettier than I thought it would be.

I'm extremely happy that Halo took the time to do my guitar the right way. They were very transparent & when there was a design flaw from the factory, the Cupertino team took the time to carefully fix it by hand so it was still exactly what I ordered. They didn't cut even 1 corner. This fixing didn't compromise the guitar in any way shape or form. The guitar was immaculate when I got it and it played incredibly. No complaints on any of the major details. Thanks guys.

Just amazing. Quite the example of high luthier craftsmanship... extremely impressed thus far. I was always concerned about the body to neck weight balance - it is exceptional. The neck architecture is outstanding as well - just sublime.

Wide range of option is appreciated (but many of the options must be put onto the remark section). But I have not yet received the guitar by now since I placed the order in Nov 2018. the delivery time keeps being postponed even the estimated times were provided time by time. communications in other sections of the guitar build from scratch are good but it's really painful during the draft of the body shape... Unfortunately the deposit cannot be refunded (this is fair though...) and fortunately I don't have to fully pay for learning a lesson (honestly this lesson is not cheap...) now I rather to save the bucks to hunt a nice and cheap PRS or build a Warmoth (yes I have to admit that Warmoth's options are not really wide and the waiting time is not so short for custom build but should not last over half of a year...)

As a lefty, it is extremely difficult to find an extended range guitar. Especially one as high of quality as this one. I'm impressed with the craftsmanship of this beast. Hopefully, I can post some videos soon.

I love the beauty of the natural-finish Swamp ash wood, the curves, the accessibility of the upper frets, and the touch of the Tung-finished neck. It plays great. I couldn’t ask for a better guitar.

You guys have done an amazing job.

I love the way that one sounds and plays. Both pickups together are great too. When I first played it, the neck sounded louder than the bridge pickup, which I expected, and I lowered the neck pickup to compensate, and now it is perfect. The guitar feels great, the weight is perfect, the contours are nice and it feels wonderful in my hands.

Took over 2 years with minimal updates from the company. On one of the multiple times I had to chase them up, I was told they had to start from scratch because of a change in law to do with rosewood and they damaged the body trying to remove some parts. Needless to say I was not impressed that the only reason I found this out was when I was chasing them for an update because they were already 3 months overdue from the last time they had pushed back my order (sounds confusing? Imagine how I felt having to deal with these guys) . I wouldn't recommend Halo. Personally, I felt they were abusing the fact I was ordering from outside the US. Ending on a positive though, when the guitar eventually arrived it was very good.

I live near the shop. Ordered a Custom Defeater guitar. Probably the most well built, comfortable guitar I have ever played.This thing plays better than guitars twice the price. Amazing work

The guitar is a BEAST, great for both rhythm and lead work. Guitar feels great to play and its 27-inch scale length with the Evertune bridge provides perfect intonation even on the low F# string. Fishman pickups provide crushing tones, breeze to recharge with built-in USB charging port. Jeff was great in suggesting additional improvements I didn't initially think about.

its the best object i've ever touched. Only issue is a screw stripped in the shipping progress but it was fixed by the company swiftly. I genuinely love this thing. Thanks jeff and marcus for ending my GAS. I dont even like looking at other guitars anymore.

Its better than I imagined! Heard about Halo through Youtube personalities testing the guitars out (ie. Ryan bruce, Ola englund, etc. ). Ordered a 7 string defeater with lace pickups.
