Halo guitars look like they would fall apart.

They try too hard to look metal. The guitars SUCK. They have pictures of chicks in lingerie trying to sell their guitars, fucking "halo gals". UGH.
They just piss me off that they're getting business, they're the emo kid of guitar companies.

with the Q/C issues they had on some of the seven's, I'm curious what the build quality on this 10 is. Not to mention I want to see some actual pics of it

There's a Halo Octavia 6 at my local Daddy's Junky Music. I played it for a while. The body shaping was rough, the Kahler nut was rusted, and the bridge itself had been abused; someone had tried to whammy (hard) with it while it was in "locked" mode. Action was stupid high as well, and I broke the high E within a few seconds of unlocking the trem. Despite all this, it sounded pretty good... had a reasonably nice pickup in there, kind of like a really defined JB. All in all, though, not something I would grab.

Plus the Octavia looks ridiculous as a 6-string. It really needs the wide neck to even look close to proportional.

Bwahaha.

Man, if I had the sort of money you'd need I'd get something off you straight away. You're without a doubt my favourite luthier out there.

Dread to think how much you cost though.

Nice sleeves too

Agreed. Halo seem way too 'Hey look at us, we're pointier and have more strings!' and will build you pretty much anything as long as you pay up front.

I always thought those Halo guitars were looking like those no name chinese guitar your find on eBay. Very rough and ugly design.

Hey I'm quite reasonable, and my guitars won't fall apart or be caressed by a gutter whore when I take pictures of it.

I should start a sister company called Horns, and make Halo guitars but 10x better.
