There’s something that needs to be said about the introduction of replacement guitar necks: they've made everyone’s lives easier.
If your guitar neck broke, you could simply replace it. If it needs a re-fret but the cost is too high for you to justify, you could replace it as an alternative option instead. If your neck is no longer comfortable to play from wear and tear--you guessed it--you could replace it.
Following that, there is the ‘custom’ point of view.
Major manufacturers have to appeal to the majority of customers, so they produce models that please the majority. On the downside, certain players may not find their preferred neck on a new guitar sold in the wild.
You don’t have to settle on a neck that can’t deliver what is comfortable to you. Replacement necks give demanding players the option to custom order necks to every possible detail. When you can’t pursue a custom built guitar, a replacement neck is a gateway to pursuing the guitar you’re after.
At Halo Custom Guitars, we push ourselves to help every player find their ideal guitar. Whether it’s through a full-fledged custom guitar, a replacement guitar neck, or a custom guitar neck. Knowing that, we offer the opportunity for players to flesh out what the perfect neck might be. We stand out from the competition by offering a near countless amount of choices and custom options.
We have a large selection of preset inlay options, but we offer custom designed inlays. If there is something that you have always wanted of your own creation, we can make it a reality.
If you love the beautiful contrast of woods, we offer custom headstock veneers. Tastefully add figured wood to the headstock face to enhance the beauty of your guitar.
If you’re less concerned with figuring, we also offer custom graphics for your headstock. Whether it’s your signature showing proudly, graphic art you created, or even brilliant colors not seen before, we can help.
Beyond what is listed within our configurators, we offer custom wood choices. If you have a specific wood type in mind that is not listed, it’s likely we can obtain it to make your custom neck. Whether you want a neck made with a figured birdseye Maple fretboard or want a multi-laminate neck made from Pau Ferro, Walnut, and Mahogany, we can work with you.
Beyond aesthetics, we offer choices for playability too. We offer custom neck profiles and custom fingerboard radius selection. If you have wanted a soft ‘V’ profile with a 16” radius or a ‘58 chunky ‘C’ with a 7.24” to 10” compound radius, we can build that. We get as close as humanly possible to your specs because we want you to play comfortably.

For your imagination to unfold, we also do custom headstock shapes.
Combine that with your choices of:
- Custom finishes
- Stainless, EVO gold, or nickel silver fretwire
- Scalloped fingerboards
- Stained fingerboards
- Stainless zero fret and nut
- Nut material
- Number of strings
- Nut width
On custom guitar necks, we also offer fanned frets (multi scale) and custom scale lengths.

Hi , Do you make Bass through necks, I need one for a project I have. I have made the bass body out of a nice piece of Australian Sheoak. I would like a neck based on the Precition Bass, with Rose wood finger board. I cant fit a bolt on neck as there is not enough wood around the neck area, Cheers.
We're happy to work with you on a neck through project. Please email us at sales@haloguitars.com for more information.
Hello - I'm looking at replacing the neck on my mid eighties Electra Westone X185BL Phoenix guitar. The measurement at the neck base is unusual at roughly 58mm. I've seen a video of you guys restoring one of these awhile back. You built an Octavia for me a couple years back that turned out great. I'd like to have the same radius if possible on the replacement neck. The neck needs to be configured for a Floyd Rose. Is this possible? Thanks!
Of course! We're happy to work with you on a replacement neck for your Westone. Please email us at sales@haloguitars.com for more information anytime!

Hello guys, hope you're doing well. I need a 7-string neck, for a custom acoustic guitar, so it's got to be set (glued), rosewood ot ebony fretboard with no inlays, black binding or no binding.

Hey, I’ve cut down an old strat copy body and used jazz master and telecaster pickups. It’s a bolt on neck which I’m pretty sure is a 22 fret strat neck.

Also what would an estimate price be in AUD Thanks :), Kaelan

Hi, I am in need of two necks with very specific specifications. Both necks will have 20 frets and a 12 inch radius, and a heel the size of a Stratocaster(2 3/16” wide, 3” long, 1/2” deep). One neck will have six tuning keys and the other will have 12. I would like the headstock to have the room for my own custom design. Is this possible? Thank you.

Hi am hoping that you could make a neck for my Kramer Focus 211S guitar. I’m looking for a maple neck. Light coloured with light fretboard and teal/turquoise colored vine inlay. For the headstock I would like a reverse, crazy design that you could think of - I’ve been thinking about maybe a crazy upward hook with some nice step downs . Or perhaps a Flying V style neck or a smooth “O” cut out of the headstock. Make something cool - something you would build. Last, could you bind the fretboard white including headstock. I’ll need the headstock painted teal - here is a link for colour: https://www.kramerguitars.com/en-US/Guitar/KRA945423/Focus-VT-211S/Teal Stainless steel medium frets Floyd Rose ready. Thank you, Dennis

I have an Ibanez 7 String AJ307CE Acoustic/Electric Guitar, a true acoustic. Could you refit this guitar with a multi-scale nut, fretboard, and bridge in your custom shop?
Hi Laurence - this kind of work is not something we offer, but it is possible, in theory. In practice, it could be more cost beneficial to have a custom instrument built instead of performing such a major overhaul as this. Hope this helps! -Jeff Lee, Halo Custom Guitars
Wondering if you do custom bass necks. Warmoth stopped building 8 string bass necks and I need one for a project I’m trying to finish. If so, could you do a 32” scale? I totally understand if you don’t, just reaching to see who’s out there. Thanks, and have a great day
Hi Rocky - yes, we do custom bass necks. 8-string, 32" scale is no problem. For a price estimate, please send additional specs/requirements to sales@haloguitars.com. Thank you. - Jeff Lee, Halo Custom Guitars
Hi, I am looking for a custom made neck. It will have to be made from scratch. It will be going on a 1964 Gibson firebird 1. I know the guitar is neck thru construction so it will become a set neck after I install the new neck. Of course I will want it to look like the original but I will want it made with maple wood. Possible? Thanks.
Hi Randy - we may be able to help you out with this and have followed up with you via email. Thanks! - Jeff Lee, Halo Custom Guitars

Hello, I'm looking for a neck to a future custom build and would prefer one with a strat heel but 25" scale length, and stainless steel or gold frets. Maple neck and fretboard, possibly everything in roasted or flamed maple depending on the price. Normal dot inlays preferably in some shade of turquoise or aqua blue, and possibly styled initials or simple picture at 12th fret in same color, again depending on price. Have looked at options from different companies, what would your price be for a custom neck like that? Best regards Paul-Erik Söderqvist

Hello Jeff! I'm looking to see if it's possible to get a 7-string Ibanez Universe style neck made for me. Neck joint would be the earlier square heel, maple neck, ebony fretboard, SS med jumbo fret with what they (Ibanez) referred to as "pyramid" inlays. I can provide exact neck pocket dimensions, neck shape etc. Is this something you would be willing to take on?
Hi Tim! We can do most of that for you, no problem. Cannot do the Ibanez headstock shape or logo. We emailed you, too, btw. Thanks! -Jeff Lee, Halo Custom Guitars

I have a special project. I want to replace the bolt-in neck from my 1992 PRS CE24 (25" scale) with a new neck with a 25.5" scale. Basic specs are: Quartersawn maple neck 1-11/16" wide nut Rosewood fretboard Abalone dot inlays Stainless jumbo frets Drilled for PRS phase II locking tuners Medium C profile 12" radius (or 12-16" compound if you can do it) Blank headstock that I will shape myself Larger, extended heel that I will shape myself to fit the neck pocket The actual woods and construction are straightforward. It's the change in scale length that has me wondering. Please let me know if this can be done and what the approximate cost would be. Thanks.
Hi Rob - your PRS was built for a 25" scale neck. A 25.5" scale neck won't intonate, unfortunately. If you're interested in a 25" scale replacement neck, then we can accommodate all your requests. Pricing is available on the custom neck product page (https://www.haloguitars.com/store/guitar-necks/custom-guitar-neck-single-scale). Thank you. - Jeff Lee, Halo Custom Guitars
