This thing causes more drool in my daily routine than necessary haha. I love it. I can't wait to finally get a guitar that inspires me visually, as much as it does tonally.

Really should consider a new finish for the body tops, though. It's not easy, I know, but I was thinking of 'illusions' or 'unique' and have patterns like camouflage, maybe spirals similar to what Jackson use to have on the Dinky's, things that aren't just as simple as solids and metallicas, and maybe some of the vintage colors like surf/seafoam green, too

Also, a couple of more bodies. I love the custom bodies, but most of them look really uncomfortable for the thigh when you're sitting there. I haven't tried these though, so this is purely speculation.

Maybe also have 'burst' and 'dual burst' where you can choose two colors to fade into bursts around the edge? I'm not sure how it'll work, but I look at the red and black and wonder if purple and black and others would look cool, too. maybe a couple more headstock designs, too, but i'm not complaining, its hard to think what would make this 'better' because it's awesome

Truly unique configurations that you can see, in stead of 'guess' like "other custom multiple choice options on the internet" (leaving the name out)

I come here too often to 'day dream' about my next build haha

A great tool to try out ideas. I always come here to fool around with different designs. I will definitely one day commit a design and go through the order process.

-Can see in nice detail a preview of the guitar you are building.
-Nice selection of pickups.
-Great choice of tops, colours and finishes.

My main complaint (also the reason I haven't given it 5 stars), and I've pretty much seen it said to death in other reviews, is the in-ability to view the back of the guitar. It really would help out a whole lot during the whole design process to visualise, as it could make or break the whole design of a guitar.
Wether it be the front of the guitar at the top and the back below that, or a button to press to flip to the back view. Either would be more than enough.

Great tool! I couldn't find anything else online with more options that offers a realistic result. I've been on this thing for hours

-Theres a Jazzmaster style shape called the TJ!
- Multi-scale, extended range, and even headless options
-Lots of pickup choices


-Not a lot of colors

-No Explorer style shape (the chain breaker is too extreme for me to consider it an explorer shape)

-Needs some more head stock options

-If you add a single coil pickup between two humbuckers, you can see that the single coil pickup isn't centered

This is probably one of the best virtual guitar builders online, and I have had almost no problems creating guitars.

Very few limitations on guitar building, and most designs can be done.

There are no P90 pickups, and there is a relatively limited color palette. In addition, I have experienced problems trying to change body styles, and for some reason it won't process the Octavia model.

My custom made 7 string VG is a beautifully powerful guitar. Jeff and the gang over at Halo guitars took my ideas and brought them to life. I cant stop playing it and even just looking at it.

great team that listens to your ideas
pretty good feedback on questions
guitar plays like a dream

Few minor setbacks during the ordering process

This is a great guitar customizer with lots of details and an amazing representation. The only thing that it needs more of in my opinion are more body shapes.

Great! Lots of fun to use, lots of options, but some are missing. Tv jones pickups would be great, you should show the straplocs and kill switches and coil splits on the guitar, and more bodies would really do the trick. An SG shape would be incredible, and vintage knobs on guitars, not just basses. One other thing, definitely add a view changer.

Shows lots of detail

Somewhat limited

A lot of critiquing over a lack of angle shots but I haven't seen another site that does this feature better

Delivers a realistic image of the guitar you're creating.

Like others, there needs to be a P90 option. I personally would like a BLH semi hollow with a SD Antiquity bridge and an SD Phat Cat P90 neck pup. Additionally the Covenant and BLH scream for a Bigsby.
Last, the prices are very high. That puts them in Gretsch/Gibson pricing range but without any resale value

It is so cool to make your own guitar.
It Brings a lot of inspiration and options

You can build your own guitar and have so many little details, like how many frets to the scale of your fretboard. There are hollowbody versions of many style bodies. And there is a good assortiment of pick-ups.

I love doing this and will buy one soon when I have searched for all the details and kind of woods are cool to combine.

It is pretty expensive for something you can't really see the back and side of.

Also it would be cool if you could have new body styles like SG and have more tremolo styles like Bigsby.

The scale length doesnt change when you click on a diffrent length, so sometimes it looks kinda silly on the picture while in real it would look pretty bad-ass.
Middle pickups arent that many.

I love the customization tool. I am able to build *almost* anything that I like, but definitely more than other custom builders allow for.

*Mix and match bodies, necks, hardware; completely customizable
*Fanned Fret option
*Premium Parts


*No angled pickup option in neck, middle, or bridge positions
*Cutaways for 27 fret models do not have all access
*No piezo pickup in the bridge option for floating tremolo
*No option for neck profiles (that I saw)

I love the fact that i can change the body type of the guitar. That makes it so much more custom

This is right here, one of the finest guitar customisers out there!

The high amount of bodies, pickups, and electronics.
The quality of the electronics chosen, and the verity is massive.
Very creative.

Lack of the Dimarzio X2N pickup.
Less body choices than I'd like, such as no RR, SG or regular flying V.
No way to build up a guitar straight from scratch.

Hey. First of all i want to say i've already spend hours with this tool. Being able to create my own costum shop guitar and being able to see the result is great! I also have shown this to many friends and they like it too! I pretty sure that i'm going to order my very personal costum shop guitar in the near future, so you will hear from me! :D
Greets from Vienna, Austria!



The only disadvantage: Add a Backview to the custmization tool, so you can see everything of the guitar.
