It is absolutely incredible. I had my now fiance make the guitar as a game on the online builder and then I ordered it for him. I was wondering how close it would look to the builder, but it was perfect. If anything it is better than I expected.

I dramatically underestimated the time, which is my fault as it's a custom guitar. It all ended up being fine, but maybe a heads up before placing the order for people like me that custom guitars take time would be a good idea.

The guitar is absolutely incredible and the process was so easy and fun.

I'm impressed with the quality of the guitar itself! Finish is nice and clean no obvious over spray or marks! Haven't had the chance to play it too much yet but I do enjoy the neck profile so far! I have huge man hands so a slightly thicker neck for 6 strings is perfect! The only bummer is one saddle came broken on the Floyd but your crew was very responsive and quick to send me a replacement! Your crew is doing a great job! Keep it up :)

Fast shipping, very well packaged... and this guitar is AMAZING. Action is tastefully low and fast, fretwork is fantastic. Finish is incredible, wood grain is delightful. Binding is well done... Worth well more than the price paid. I will be buying from halo again soon.

6 string "Soul" arch-top guitar with a flame maple top in a dragon burst. I absolutely love the guitar! It came out exactly as I ordered it. It plays very smooth and in my opinion you can't beat the price on a fully custom guitar.

I originally went to a local guitar maker and they told me they can't make what I wanted. Luckily I found Halo online. The guitar builder software on the web page is super fun and helped me design what I wanted. The team was very responsive answering my questions during the design phase. Design and order was super easy. The build time was reasonable and realistic. In the end the guitar was exactly what I wanted and I feel the price for a custom build was bargain.

I really can’t find anything I don’t like about it (a Strat-style, with wide nut 48 mm). The craftsmanship is excellent; the fretwork is especially good. I can’t find any defects at all. It plays great.

I ordered a custom Salvus. So far I quite like it. It's a very well made guitar with a great finish. Getting a fully custom instrument for this price is a great deal. I think the online customization tool is great. It made me much more comfortable since I knew almost exactly what I was getting.

This is my second Halo Custom Guitar, I´m totally proud of, this time is a baritone VG 6 strings, with James Hetfield EMG Set, really love the tone and how was made, just perfect for metal and low tunes, thanks once again! I would like to see more body and headstock shapes in the future, I'm pretty sure of Halo team are woking on that. I think you guys can do a really better job on your social media accounts, please be more active, we love to see your art

The designer was very easy to use. If you are unsure about a selection, the "Help Me Choose" option can help you understand more about the options available to you. Any special instructions you have, they will cover all the bases with you to ensure that everything is done correctly.

When I took a first look at my Sanctus, I was amazed. Everything was how I specified and completed with very fine attention to detail. The preview of the guitar was spot on. The neck is extremely smooth, the gloss finish on the body is mirror-like, action setup correctly - no buzzing. I have nothing to complain about, Halo has a 5/5 from me and I am already considering another order.

Why are these Chinese made guitars so expensive? Just cause you assemble them in the United States doesn't mean you can mark them up as if they were USA built. Why the lack of original body styles? The very few Halo offers are absolutely abysmal. The majority of their lineup of body styles are direct rip offs of other big name companies. Not even an original inlay option? Horrible.

Go look at what used Halo guitars sell for. Not even 1/4th of their build cost. They do not retain value.

[Halo Admin Response] - Hi Harvey, our custom shop guitars are relatively expensive because we painstakingly build them one at a time and we only use the highest quality material, hardware, and electronics possible. On top of that, our luthiers are experts in the craft with over 20 years of experience each, on average. We could sell our guitars for less if we reduced the quality and customization across the board, but that's not what we're about. We hear what you're saying on the design side and we will work on that. Thanks. - Jeff Lee, Halo Custom Guitars

The guitar is gorgeous (custom shop TJ semi hollow baritone guitar)! All the little details I asked for were done very well. I was especially happy with how the f-style mandolin headstock turned out. It is beautiful! The custom inlays turned out better than I could have hoped. The guitar plays really well and the bare knuckle and lollar pickups sound great. It was a long wait but was well worth it.

Halo could improve with shorter build times, updates throughout the build with pictures of progress, and a 360° view on website when designing the instrument. Continue adding more options to the online design builder. More detailed pictures and questions to make sure everything is correct during final correspondence before guitar is shipped. Continue adding articles explaining all the different aspects of the options when building/designing the instrument. This helped me a lot when researching before I ordered. Maybe one on one consultants that can give advice on options/builds to make sure what the customer wants is done properly and makes sense for the overall instrument design/function.

Communication with Jeff was great when I had any questions or changes. Always got back to me very quickly and addressed any concerns I had to make things right. I know there is a lot of builds and other things he probably has to take care if but I felt he genuinely wants to help and make sure you get exactly what you want.

It was quite a long wait for the guitar, but now it has finally arrived. Looks even better than the images you sent prior to shipping. Perfect setup and action right out of the case, it just required minor tuning. The instrument sounds absolutely great, neck feels ultra smooth. The Buckeye cap and the fretboard look awesome, it's tough to put the guitar back into the case. The t4m bridge fits and works perfectly. Honestly, this is one of the best guitars I ever got in my hands (and I have quite a few, ranging from Gibson custom to music man monarchy...). I am truly impressed with the craftsmanship and the overall product quality, this is exactly what I had hoped for. Congrats for the perfect build and keep up the excellent work!
