I love this! Although I don't have the money **because they are super over priced** it is fun to come here and wish I had it! :) I do wish it was more affordable.

Nice looking guitars, but the prices are RIDICULOUS! Remember, these are CHINESE made guitars. These guys are getting like a 300% markup on these things. You can get a USA made Gibson cheaper than their LP looking model. Completely ridiculous!

*** Halo Admin Response: Hi Eric, our production model LP-style models are priced below USA Gibson guitars. But, the pricing here applies to our build-to-order service (custom shop), and we need to charge higher prices because it requires a lot more time and resources to build these guitars compared to a production run. For reference, Gibson Custom Shop LP's are priced around 4 to 8 times the price of a Halo Custom Shop LP-style guitar. - Jeff Lee, Halo ***

I came to this site to get an 84 explorer with a floyd rose. I got exelent service from Jeff, who is very quick to respond to emails, making everything quick and easy as he told me everything I needed to know. My only complaint is the price, which is why im ordering from a differet person. Overall the service i got was exeptional. Once i have a bigger budget I will definitely come here for my explorer

An awesome builder for those who love custom guitars,the bad thing is that there is a bug, everytime I try to use the white solid in the back neck of the guitar it doesn't work.

Advantages:
-How it's looks the guitar.
-A great selection of bodies.
-Many pickups from where choose from.
-Able to switch view to see the back of the guitar (finally).

Recomendations:
-EMG Red pickups(that would be incredible).
-More inlays design.
-Red binding.
-More colors.
-More bodies like the Gibson Explorer, Flying V Gibson, Firebird, ML, Razorback, Iceman, Star, Warlock. Even new models made by Halo.
-Bring back from the dead the old headstocks like the classic, the old select and the other types of inline headstocks.
-Fix the 9 and 10 strings view.

I like how you can create almost any guitar by just the touch of a button but for some reason the pickups won't show up for me that's why i rated 4 stars

This review is for the custom creator.
There are SO MANY options here! It's not only brilliant, but it's hard service for anyone to top. Jackson still has custom forms where you just check off things and 100% have to guess. If you want a graphic representation on it, you have to send it in with the custom form. This is simple and clear. I have some things I'd love to see, since I'd make these modifications to a guitar after ordering anyway, I'd like to see a wider range of pickups. By that I mean brands like EVH especially, and more popular options in the other brands, such as the Dimarzio Super 3. Just a thought.
Keep working on it!
Maybe use Fender's builder as a template on looks (3 angles, HD, etc.) , but keep your huge range of options. 10/10!

I like the new design and there's loads of choice but PLEASE let us have more than one view (e.g. back and side profiles) there's too much guesswork at the moment. also, I think there should be a wider choice of colours or better yet - use one of those colour selectors on windows paint so you can choose whatever shade and adjust the brightness and stuff. if you added these then this tool would be perfect

Awesome custom guitar maker. And great results, as I've seen on YouTube. Really cool guitars

*High quality of custom maker although
*Big choice of pickups
*Nice showing of the guitar you are making
*Attention to details

Not disadvantages, but suggestions to get new objects into the maker
*A lot of new guitar bodies: Manson MA, Manson MB, Manson CE, Gibson Explorer, Gibson Firebird, Gibson SG, Fender Starcaster, Gibson Flying V, Status S-2 Classic, Status S-2 Classic, PRS guitar bodies
Sunburst function
And more colors to choose
Maybe more wood

Great tool, but more thought could be put into it. Menus do not stay open to use on touch screen like a smartphone.

many, of course

- does not work on touch screen
- could use shorter scale options like 24"
- could use options for even more frets
- you dropped some preset body options you used to have
- could distinguish between original and licensed Floyd Rose whammy (eg., no original exists for 8-string)
- could provide string tension data, especially for tunings on extended range guitars, which string manufacturers do not provide
- could provide info on where ability to properly set up an extended range guitar becomes borderline relative to scale, string gauge, pitch, setting intonation, sound quality versus string bending, etc.

This thing causes more drool in my daily routine than necessary haha. I love it. I can't wait to finally get a guitar that inspires me visually, as much as it does tonally.

Really should consider a new finish for the body tops, though. It's not easy, I know, but I was thinking of 'illusions' or 'unique' and have patterns like camouflage, maybe spirals similar to what Jackson use to have on the Dinky's, things that aren't just as simple as solids and metallicas, and maybe some of the vintage colors like surf/seafoam green, too

Also, a couple of more bodies. I love the custom bodies, but most of them look really uncomfortable for the thigh when you're sitting there. I haven't tried these though, so this is purely speculation.

Maybe also have 'burst' and 'dual burst' where you can choose two colors to fade into bursts around the edge? I'm not sure how it'll work, but I look at the red and black and wonder if purple and black and others would look cool, too. maybe a couple more headstock designs, too, but i'm not complaining, its hard to think what would make this 'better' because it's awesome

Truly unique configurations that you can see, in stead of 'guess' like "other custom multiple choice options on the internet" (leaving the name out)

I come here too often to 'day dream' about my next build haha
