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.

I love this website and probably visit it at least once a week.

Best graphic guitar customizer I've found online
Simple
Wide variety of hardware and finishes

Suggestions
P90s
More pickguard options eg. Tortoiseshell, pearl finishes
Colour picker
Back and possibly side view
Also, when you tick straplocks, it doesn't show them

I have a dream guitar in mind always, and this really helps me visualize how it may look!

1. Everything makes sense.
2. You can SEE what it looks like!
3. Options, options, and more options!
4. Kahler bridges. I love floyds, but Kahlers feel more natural to me when I play.
5. CARBON FIBER FRETBOARD. Way better than any wood (IMO)

1. Can't see the back of the guitar.
2. Carbon fiber neck? If you have a carbon fiber fretboard, why not just make the whole neck carbon fiber?
3. No Lace Sensor pickups. Alumitones are nice, but what about like the silvers, blues, golds, etc.? They sound better in my opinion.
4. No EMG-89 or 89R. Or the 81TW.
5. No DiMarzio D-Activators for 6 strings
6. No roller nuts or roller saddle bridges.
7. An explorer style body shape would be nice. I love explorers.

This is a fantastic tool and one day I'd love and be proud to own a Halo guitar

Lots of different options for styling, woods, binding, hardware

*Add black nickel hardware
*Make all the pickups available for 7/8 string options available for 6 string guitars (Warpigs, Nazgul, X2N, etc)
*Add an Explorer type body shape
*Add an SG type body shape
*Add options for neck radius/shape
*Add natural wood binding options

Cool

I can design it

anyone

I'd really love if there were more headstocks and maybe a few more body shapes. like the gibson explorer/ dean metalman z. Other than that these guitars are fantastic!

A very well thought out and easy to use customization considering that few have this simulation.

1. Reduces time and resources
2. You are the master builder
3. Simple and understandable
4. Apllied on all guitars
5. Wide range of pickup selections

1. High retail price
2. Not enough selections for everything
3. Need assistance to create a custom design
4. Too expensive
5. No scrolling for wide selections (bodies, pickups)
6. No free contour options
7. Small wood selections for bodies and necks
8. No staining options
9. Too expensive
10. Doesn't seem custom, more so like picking out options.
11. No viewing options other than top view
12. Small amount of binding options
13. Limited custom graphic help
14. Inlays and bindings limited and none free
15. Limited headstock shapes
16. Limited nut options
17. Limited truss rod covers
18. Limited amount of free bridges
19. Few tuner options
20. Pickgaurd selections limited and none free
21. Small amount of a wide variety of pickups, no signature models e.g. Mick Thomson AHB-3
22. Small selection of controls and placement
23. Small amount of knob selections
24. Three-way toggle switches only, no blade or other options
25. Special options page is limited before assistance
26. No kit options for the DIY person
27. Expensive
28. No one is there to assists directly and in real time
29. No economy guitars
30. Very different than ording from Carvin custom guitars

This is the most useful tool Ive seen in a long time.

Brilliant representation of the guitar!

Maybe a Mustang-style body?
Not enough views of the guitar
Why not add a relicing option?

Honestly I love this. I have been looking at ideas for a custom guitar for a long time, and Halo does it right. I won't be buying anything yet as I haven't found exactly what I want yet, but Halo has gotten extremely close.

•Plenty of options that let you really get a good and realistic idea of what you'll be getting.
•Halo is the only site that I've come across, in which you can pick what you want, that offers string options past 7, and has wonderful options for 7 strings. Other sites do have some of this stuff but it just isn't quality.

•More body options. When I buy a 7-string, I'm choosing to have 27 frets, however any of the options here the body cuts off the fret board access around the 21st and 22nd fret, if not farther. I may have to just personally contact Halo about this though because there are carves that I want on my guitar for easier fret board access that isn't standard.
•On that note! More body contour options please.
•Not enough headstock options. I love the reverse headstock look and I'll be doing that for my 7 string, and a 6 if I feel the need to buy another 6, however for an 8 string I want a headstock like Ibanez, the V look at the top is something I want for an 8 string.
•Halo is incredible, these disadvantages are just because I'm really picky and would like these available options!

It looks really cool I put black ops zombies on mine

This is a great, well put together, easy to use customizer! Fun to use and cool to see what you can create!

-Has a wide range of body designs to use
-Many different styles of pickups
-Easy to use

-I'd like to see at least one active humbucker middle pickup added
-as always, More body shapes! I'd love to see an explorer and Firebird IV added

This is by far the best virtual guitars builder around right now.

-Great high resolution picture of the guitar.
-Tons of options for everything.


-It would be great to see the guitars from other angles. A 3D model would be absolutely killer.
-More color options for both the guitar and hardware. Like a spectrum would be awesome for the body and brushed or graphite color hardware would be nice.
-As well as a spectrum for the guitar color, a gradient for the burst would be good, like how dark it gets and how quickly it fades out.
-More pickup options please.
-More binding options. Like more colors and an option for natural binding, like having the edge of a maple top natural.
-Being able to choose the thickness and width and the radius of the neck would probably be the addition I would like the most.
-More inlay options. I know you can get a custom thing but more options in the builder would be good.

I love this customization tool; by far the best I've ever seen. I'm also happy you folks keep improving it. I hope that some day this will be my first step in acquiring one of your fantastic custom guitars.

Tons of options.
Generally realistic appearance.
Best customization tool yet.

If I could make one addition to this tool, it would be an accurate, visible change when scale length is altered; that can make a huge difference in the appearance of a guitar.
Some of the transparent colors are kinda MS Paint looking, and reduce their own desirability (whereas in real life, your transparent color finishes are beautiful).

you guys should add the schecter avenger body shape

I really love using the customization. It's very straightforward and easy to use. Plus it has loads of cool options. I will definitely be using it to purchase a custom guitar in the future. The burst option is fantastic but I wish there was an option to make the back of the guitar and neck burst colored as well. I would also love to see a true temperament fret option.

Simple, straightforward design.
Easy to use.
Plenty of options.

No rear burst option.
No true temperament frets.

Amazing tool and graphic for seeing your dream guitar come to life.

It's quick, it's easy... It's as open and shut as you can get when thinking up a guitar and putting a basic image to it.

My only complaints are very simple.

> A stainless steel fret option
>An option to deepen and widen the cutaway on certain models?

i love the way it´s so wasy to use the tools and how good they are.

very easy and awsome tools.

It would be nice to have the Gibson explorer type of shape

Thank you for having options.

This company has a great idea with allowing the customer to choose from various options.

*GRAPHITE REINFORCENT RODS* need to be available. We need a VOLUTE option too. How is the quality of wood and labor for these "Custom Guitars"? Side rectangular position markers needed.

I think this tool is great, but the Sustainiac® ,and more views besides the front would be nice

variety of options

could be better, but the customization of guitars is limitless in real life
