Overall I'd say I am extremely pleased with the instrument.įor the most part I'd say Halo was good to deal with, Jeff was always an email away. After playing it for about 10 days I've found the tonal range and tones within that range extremely satisfying and versatile the cleans are crisp and ringing, the overdriven tones and distortion tones are deliciously meaty with clearly defined tonal core (a very slight intonation adjustment on my part was required to really dial in the nice tight tonal core - an adjustment I'd chalk up to personal preference). The guitar is absolutely beautiful and of the highest quality construction. I ordered a right-handed six string Altus w/ Alumitone Lace Sensors and a Dimarzio Crunchlab pickup at the bridge, custom vine inlays in the neck, clear finish, neck-thru construction & black hardware. Thank you for also reaching out to us directly to give us the opportunity to continue communicating with you via email until all issues are amicably resolved. Hello Oleh - we apologize for the issues with your order as well as the slow communication you received. On my penultimate mail, I received a response from Halo only a month later, Halo did not manufacture this option, but instead made forced agreed replacement.

I also extra ordered and paid stainless steel frets.

However, the guitar lead time from the originally promised one year increased to two years, after each payment (50% deposit and remaining balance 10 months later) communication from Halo only got worse, the guitar came to me in a custom fitted Halo hardshell case with completely damaged interior due to polyfoam that was not fully glued and broken in four places (for all that the outer packaging and the exterior of the case were in perfect condition and do not even have cosmetic damages), also the guitar body contour (profile of the body surface), string gauges adjustment and t-short size did not match what was ordered. Halo Custom Guitars has created a Real Miracle – a unique fully one-piece guitar (its body, neck, fingerboard and headstock carved from single solid maple blank).
