since Halo had a build giveaway I've came to the customization tool almost every day trying to make the best guitar under $1500
lol
Sometimes we think about an ideal guitar in theory, but seeing the graphic representation of the guitar your dreaming about really helps to make sure it will look good.

Just great! i'm realy having fun

I don't know if anyone has pointed it out but...:
1.) When you choose the salvus model with a satin finish and flat contour it still show the guitar with having the forearm contour. the price gets corrected though.
And when you choose the salvus model with a satin finish and the forearm contour it shows an over sized texture.
When the gloss finish is selected everything is fine

2.) the price of the body top is being calculated as $80,00

*** Halo Response: thank you for bringing #1 to our attention. We are fixing it. Regarding #2: the body tops are $50. If you chose to match the headstock with the body, then the price adjusts an additional $30. It's our guess that you see an $80 price increase because you are selecting a body top and matched headstock combination ($50 + $30 = $80). ***

I had lots of fun doing all kinds of wicked instruments and some classic designs as well.

*Very realistic looking representation.
*A wide selection of hardware.

Suggestions:
*Different angles to see the guitar.
*Add Sperzel Trim-Lok to the tuning machines.
*Add Super-Vee Blade Runner to the tremolo bridges.
*Sunburst finishes.
*Make your own color feature.
*Different neck joints.
*Angled pickups (Like a B.C Rich Gunslinger or Jake E. Lee Signature Charvel).
*Add P90's to the list of pickups.

the only and the best creator for the seven, eight and multiscale guitars, I love to waste time here on creating new projects :)

- seven and eight string models
- wide selection of pickups
- multiscale visualisation
- a looot of hardware to choose between

- there should be more shapes
- user should be able to generate guitar colour himself (like it is in popular SG/SC editor by Frank Montag)
-also there could be option of generating colour of bobbins in pickup (it is standard open humbuckers)
-more neck inlays
-more colors of binding

After hours spending on it, I review !
Once I have the money, you'll get an order in your mail box ! ;)

-you see what you do
-a lot of possibilities
-great graphics
-easy to use

-no rear view
-...
thats kinda all for me !

I really really liked this builder, and in my opinion it's almost as good as Warmoth's! If you improved it just the slightest bit, for example, I would LOVE to see a bass option, especially since I myself am a bass player haha. But I understand that it's a new thing, and you guys did awesome on it!!

Great features, very specific, visuals

No bass option!!!

*** HALO RESPONSE: we are adding the Bass Customization Tool this year. It is currently in planning and development. ***

This is a great tool, I love using it!! It gives the freedom of designing something you can call your own. And it makes it so easy to design without trying to imagine what it looks like, because you can see what it looks like straight off.

I'm still itching to see the 9 and 10 string option and I wouldn't mind seeing a version of this tool for bass as well. On top of that, a Bigsby bridge for the BLH and the Covenant body styles and maybe a few more pickup options and colour options.

Is a beatifull guitat for Hard Rock

MERCI POUR CE CONCOURS.JE PARTICIPE. BONNE JOURNéE

I didn't see an option for neck shape, add that and I will definitely consider ordering a custom guitar from HCG.

Cool guitar building tool!

Easy to make a kickass looking guitar and stuff.

It would be better if there were more options for angled pickups on multi-scale necks. It would be cool to have the EMG X series or the Metalworks series angled instead of straight across.

More manufacturers should have this in their custom shop tool gives out a great visualization of what could be.
The first time I found out about it I spent hours making lord knows how many guitars
Eagerly looking forward to customizing 7/8 string guitars, how long do you think till you have this feature up?

Easy to use. Well design and it's almost perfect on the guitar side.

User friendly. It's great to see what's on your mind and work with it on on real time.

Well it would be great if you could see the guitar from different angles. Also include EMG's in your passive pickups list. And it would be just great if you can use the same concept on the bass section so that you can see on what you are working on. Well I'll be making business with you guys soon.

*** HALO RESPONSE: Thank you for your comments. We will consider each one seriously. We will launch a bass customization tool. Our aim is to launch it by the end of March 2014... stay tuned! ***

this visualization is a fantastic thing. you can try and imagine what your axe would look like, but a picture is worth a thousand words. If I do ever order a custom guitar, it'll be from you guys. A Morbus or a Reaper haven't decided yet :)

Great woods and finishes selection, hardware options are too very good. Everything I need in a guitar (for heavy, melodic riffing) I've found on the options you're offering, such as Lace pups, fanned frets, locking tuners and that killer ABM bridge. Also I love the abalone binding you offer.

The only disatvantage I've come across is the lack of 7 or 8 string visualization, but I know you're gonna get that done anyway, so I'm not gonna whine about that. :)

Frankly, this by far the best customisation tool on the net. I actually plan on getting a guitar from this in the near future.

It really is fully customisable! Fantastic!

I want a 7 string, and unfortunately the software doesn't allow to see how it all looks in the end. Some new body shapes would be great, but judging by admin responses, this is going to happen soon (great!) I'd like a bigger range of pick ups actually. More Duncans, and definitely the D-activators from DiMarzio.

See if you can get the rights to use some Ibanez bridges in the guitars too, as I don't like Floyd Rose bridges, and much prefer the likes of the Ibanez Zero Resistance tremolo, due to it's configuration, it's a much more stable bridge, and a lot easier to set up for different tunings (thanks to the roller disc in the back).

My last recommendation would be to make it customisable to actually move the volume and tone pots around, same goes for the pick up selector, as I find my hand has a tendency to knock these when I play, and I know many other players do too. Jeff Loomis and Keith Merrow both did it to their customs with Schecter, by moving them around, making things just that little bit more comfortable.

Otherwise, this is outstanding!

*** Halo Admin Response: This customization tool will generate images for 14 additional body shapes, 7-string, and 8-string by end of February 2014. Please stay tuned. Your suggestions will be seriously considered in a future update to our customization tool. Thank you for your suggestions! ***

I would love to see the option for semi-hollow bodies or to make whatever body you want into a semi hollow. Other than that and a few of the other comments already stated this builder is amazing, I've built 5 and counting, if you come up with options for semi hollow you can have all my money.

The whole things is fantastic I couldn't begin to list the advantages

More body selections, as well as semi hollow option.

* Halo Response: 14 more body shapes, including one semi-hollow body design will be added - stay tuned... *

Is Evertune G model (for Gibson style) available? I only see F model.

*** Halo Admin Response: Yes, it is available if you write it in the special instructions, but we do not provide graphic representations of it at this time. ***

Best custom builder out there right now - I don't think anyone else is offering the ability to contour a singlecut body (w/ forearm and tummy carves) according to customer spec. Awesome!

The guitarist for my band Shive and myself have been drooling over your guitars. I built my dream guitar using this software. Beautiful Tele style. The only problem is, I'm a bassist. I would love to have some bass options on here.

I would love to have a Tele style bass with a nice fat Humbucker in the bridge.

Easy to use and great options. Built my dream guitar!

No bass stuff.

*** Halo Admin Response: Stay tuned for the Halo Bass Customization Tool launching later this year... Shooting for March/April 2014. ***

Great !
My favorite pickup is Seymor Duncan - Black Winter

This taking guitar customization to the next level. We get to customize almost any car that we buy, why not guitars? :D

The visualization is great. You can spend hours on end customizing guitars to suit all your wild fancies. Sometime, we have ideas in our heads but unless we are ace graphic designers, we can't exactly be sure how it would transpire in reality. This one does that job, and that is just epic \m/

=> Please add more body shapes and burst color options
=> Also we need to have the option to see the guitar from behind, a view switching option would be very handy
=> Don't you offer Pau Ferro fretboard?
=> Bridge pickup selection - pickup ring and the name of the color is reversed
=> Dome knob color selection is attached to hardware color, i.e. nickel hardware and black dome knob can't be selected for the same guitar
=> Why no EMG HZ Passive pickups?
=> Seymour Duncan Zebra Humbucker pickups - No reverse Zebra selection available
