SALVUS - 6-string, 25.5" Scale, Evertune, Natural

Nice guitar. Great company to work with. Communication was great.

I have dealt with the best in the Guitar and Bass business. I have had over 300 instruments in my career and am a collector who knows when things are done right. The service and communication that I got was exceptional all the way to getting the guitar and truly appreciate the quality and professional packagig. Now let's get to guitar! First WOW!! What a gorgeous guitar and checking over the quality fit and finish to find perfection?? I can't find any flaws?
Frets dressed and polished set up was excellent. Fishman and Evertune. I am in heaven! This is a class outfit and I am sure to be back again. For now I can't put it down! Great guitar, great price, great people and great shipping, what else is there? Oh yeah the guitar sounds great too!
Thanks,
Johnny Faison

Thanks for the customer care! Halo upgraded to locking tuners and installed strap locks. Very nice. I have played countless guitars and this is the best fretwork I’ve experienced.
The guitar is stunningly beautiful!
This sounds like my idea of the two best tele sounds without any hum or noise, perfect tone.
Perfect intonation with the Evertune bridge, and the knobs are super fancy with exact smooth variations.
Perfect guitar in every wonderful way.
Thanks Halo

Amazing quality guitar, great setup, and sounds incredible. Thanks guys!

Beautiful guitar, great value, killer tone and really great staff. The guys at Halo were a real pleasure to talk with and I ended up buying 2 guitars...this one is mine and the other one I picked up for my nephew for Xmas. It was just before the holidays and I had done some online browsing and was starting to settle in on a guitar. Then while I was out running errands I was driving by the Halo showroom and thought I'd stop in and see what they had. They set me up with a killer guitar for my nephew and while we were talking about that one, this one caught my eye. I love the wood selection and the reveal. Custom shop quality at reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

Sweet guitar and great sellers to deal with!

I've owned many guitars over my 30+ year playing span; nothing has come close to the service & product I received from Jeff & crew at Halo Guitars. I can honestly say it was the best guitar experience I've had. I have no idea (how Halo could improve), the guitar, craftsmanship and service was all top notch.

I happened upon Halo Custom Guitars whilst searching Reverb for "Evertune Tele". The Salvus model showed up and the first thing I noticed is that it is stunningly beautiful. Then I noticed the price. I couldn't believe I could get a custom made axe with Evertune for hundreds less than an Elite Telecaster. I had some very specific needs for a Tele.

I am the guitarist for the Chicago run of Hamilton. In the pit there are drastic temperature and humidity changes which can wreak havoc on the instruments. Hamilton is through-composed, like an opera. The only break I get is intermission. So I have very little time to fiddle with tuning. The problem is that I am constantly switching guitars during and between songs and tuning to drop D quite a few times. On some nights my tuning would be rock solid. On other nights, I literally have to tune twice in a song because a string may have gone 5 cents flat or sharp...it's just insane.

Anyway, when I saw the Salvus I thought, ' this would solve almost all my problems'. I contacted Halo the next business day. Jeff Lee answered and he has frankly given me the best guitar buying experience ever. I wanted to know if the Evertune could be bypassed on the low E string to allow for drop D tuning. Jeff checked the guitar and called me back in a few minutes and told me it could. He said he'd never even thought about bypassing one string. I also needed them to add another push/pull pot so that I could split the pickups individually. It was a nominal charge.

The attention to detail on this guitar is just phenomenal. A couple of my buddies are already on the Halo site designing their guitars. BTW, the Evertune bridge makes the guitar intonation better across the board. It is just phenomenal. Do I have a complaint? No, just a quibble. I didn't see the radius on the listing and was so excited about the other features that I didn't ask. This guitar happens to have a 16" radius. That's really flat to me for a tele. I have a couple other guitars with a 16" radius but my hands seem to prefer 12" or a compound radius. However, this guitar is very easy to play and sounds freakin' fantastic!!!! I am planning on getting another built with 10 or 12" radius.

In the final analysis, I am completely over the moon with my guitar...
Even the free tee shirt they included was very nice. So nice that I found the manufacturer and ordered six shirts from them last night. Again, attention to every little detail... just an awesome company!
