We've built several wide neck guitars over the years for folks... but they were always special orders (custom builds, one-offs). 

We've gotten enough interest about this kind of guitar from our other blog post that we decided to build a limited production model. 

Here are mockups of the new model, which will be available in 2 colors: natural and black. These are very limited production as we're only building 3 in each color. 

Here is some key information:

Nut Width: 52mm
Bridge: Halo Single Saddle Bridges with wide spacing (mockup shows a 7-string Hipshot)
Strings: 6 (mockup shows a 7-string to approximate the wider neck dimensions)

I thought that you were going to make this in a 6 string....

HALO ADMIN RESPONSE: Yes, they were made as 6-string guitars. The mockups are 7-string just to show the wider neck dimensions. Here are the actual product pages: Natural Version | Black Version

I have several acoustic high-end guitars couple of Martins and a Gibson just to name a few can you build an acoustic guitar with that nut with Rosewood back and sides Spruce top Sunburst color

HALO: Yes, we can build acoustic guitars with the wider nut. However, we recently stopped offering Rosewood due to new CITES regulations on the wood. Thanks! - Jeff Lee, Halo Custom Guitars

hi, are you going to make at some point also inlays in the middle of the fretboard like the standard most of us are used to? because I'm interested in the Octavia 6 string natural (50 mm) but only if it has standard inlays. thanks and have a nice day.

Hi Gilad - we do not have any in production currently with standard center dot inlays, but we appreciate your comment on this and we will consider it in a future batch. Thank you! - Halo
