Great to see you building short-neck guitars. I tried to have someone build a strat like body with 22.5" with 24 frets, with floyd rose, and I after months, actually a couple years, I finally got one done though it was stolen shortly after. I would love to have another one built and in the search, your company came up first.

Hi Roman - so sorry to hear it was stolen... but we'd be glad to help you get another short scale guitar with those specs. Please feel free to reach out to customshop@haloguitars.com whenever you're ready, we'll be here. Thank you - Jeff Lee, Halo Custom Guitars

Hi good people from Halo guitars, Do you also make compound necks? I don't mean compound fretboard, but the neck itself. What I mean is that the the thickness remains from 1st fret to where the body begins. In other words rounder at the nut and flatter towards the bridge. For example a 7-string neckthrough electric guitar, 1-piece walnut neck, no carbon fiber rods, 25 inch scale length, 48mm wide (standard), 22 nickel frets Jescar 51100, thin C profile neck, 19 mm at first fret and also 19 mm at 12th fret, etc. Is that possible or would it give instability problems? I know one luthier in the Netherlands who made compound neck guitars for his 7-string models (but with 25.5 scale, maple setneck) and that brand is Bo-El7 but is discontinued. I played it once and it's very comfortable. I have no information if it is 19mm thick.

Hi Anthony - we can make a neck like that, just put it into the special instructions. Thank you. -Jeff Lee, Halo Custom Guitars
