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.

there should be an option to view the back of the guitar and other angles as well, that would be great

nice site

everything but !

can't see the back of the guitar

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!

Very useful tool for visualizing dream concepts

Very in depth, i like the multiscale options

Burst options are much needed
Angled pickup options
More Headstock Designs
9 string choices?

This is fun and easy to use, but it does need some improvements.

fun and easy to use.

-needs different views of the guitar (front, back, side, etc)
-needs burst paint jobs
-p90 pickups would be nice
-more inlay options

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!

Love this website. I have spent hours designing all the guitars that I want.

Realistic visuals.
100% customization.




Some more pickup options.
See different angles of guitar.
More colour options (custom colours)
Description of parts. (what noise certain pickups make, difference in woods etc)

You guys should really add a burst feature! Other than that, very pleased about the overall set-up. Works smoothly, and has great options.

>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.

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!

a

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). ***
