Just going to label what I think the advantages and Disadvantages are.

Price is much less expensive than other custom shops.

Visual display helps me see the basics of what I am ordering

Having to input a Captcha code to upload graphics.

Other than that, Its pretty much perfect.

Overall, it's an awesome program. Very fun to play around with.

Very customizable, I enjoy playing with this even though I don't really have the money to buy anything I make :P

There are only a few disadvantages. One: It won't display the strings if you get a guitar that's more than 6 strings. Two: There aren't as many options for body shapes and inlays as I'd like there to be. Three: the pickups they have built in are great, but I want to be able to stick ANY Seymour Duncan pickup on there (Specifically the Pegasus and the Nazgûl). Four: I know they do this for a good reason but it's still a pain to wait to get a code that approves your custom body/inlay design. That's not that many downsides though if you really think about how customizable everything is.

Great Configurator tool. Easy to use.

It's easy to use and has various big name pick ups.

Can't display other string set ups, Killswitch, multi-fan, and you can't select locking nut without a tremolo bridge. Also THERE ARE NO BURST COLORS!!!

***Halo Admin Reply: Thanks for your valuable feedback, David. The customization tool only shows 6-string guitars at the moment, but we will be adding all the options you mentioned throughout 2014. The tool does display fan frets, you can select it in the "General Options". We disabled the option for locking nuts for all bridges not equipped with fine tuners (guitars with locking nuts must be equipped with bridges with fine tuners, like a Kahler or Floyd Rose; we will consider adding a fixed bridge option with fine tuners in the future). Thanks! ***

Well designed, easy to use and the graphics look realistic.

Really good in depth designer, makes choosing custom models a lot smoother since you can see what you are asking from, a lot of options, and user friendly.

I had no disadvantages using this,
except for a slight but when I accidentally moused over one of the drop menus, and then moved to the next one, both remained open and got all cluttered.

I would like to give a shout out to Halo Custom Guitars for their amazing work on my instrument. I have been gigging with my Halo Custom (COVENANT-6) for about a year now and I am more and more impressed at each show with its performance and tone.

I have to commend Halo on making an instrument that looks like a work of art.

Their attention to every detail made this instrument exactly what I had pictured in my mind. The options available in the custom shop really let my imagination take hold and create a guitar that is unique yet versatile. Jeff was super helpful during the order process, as well as through the building of my guitar to ensure that I was satisfied.

When I received my guitar, the set up from the factory was outstanding.

I have purchased many guitars from various well known brands and my Halo’s setup has surpassed each one from the factory. The guitar also feels incredibly solid! I know this guitar will be able to handle all the abuse of the road and still look and sound great in the process. This is hands down the best guitar I own. As my band heads back into the studio to release a new album in 2016, expect to hear and see this monster of a guitar featured prominently on the album and tour.
