I copied this from thier blog on Myspace. I may be worth looking into, don't know my self. I have heard awesome and horrible about the company.

"Extended range guitars for everyone!

You first heard about HALO and our extended range guitars during Winter NAMM 2007 with the OCTAVIA. HALO now allows every body design they make to be available in an Eight, Nine, & Ten string version. We here at HALO welcome in the extended range guitar players with open arms.

All extended range guitar is hand crafted using mahogany body and neck, set in construction, dual truss rod, dual truss rod, Kahler tremolo bridge systems, you own custom control pattern, and EMG pick ups. We would like you to know that the Eight String guitars now come with the choice of having the highly desired LUNDGREN M8 humbucking pick up. All Halo Guitars come with a limited lifetime warranty on all electronics and hardware.

Prices for the extended range series start at a LIST PRICE of $1250 for an EIGHT string, and $4200 for a TEN string.

Come check out the NEW website for HALO GUITARS, and get more information on our extended range guitars, and see all of our new body styles. Go to HALO Custom Guitars, Inc. - The finest custom guitars this side of the PECOS

The Kahler tremolo systems, offer fully adjustable saddles providing string spacing, up and down individual saddle height adjustments for any radius from 7.25" to 20" and forward and back for dead on intonation. Kahler bridges are constructed using the highest grade of alloys such as 360 H/H brass, 303 stainless steel, 1018CRS steel and 5060T6-7075 aluminum. For more information, please visit Welcome to Kahler USA 2007.

The Lungren M8 model pickup, delivers tone with lots of power and attitude. The design is a combination of winding and a ceramic magnet placed under the pickup to give you more of everything and caused many players to give up active pickups. With lots of gain on your amp, harmonics is a piece of cake. The powerful high output M model humbucker lets your notes come through even with your distortion cranked up on your amplifier. The M pickup also has plenty of low end. For more information, please visit Lundgren guitar pickups.

The EMG pick up, built by having the coils precision wound, matched both resistively and inductively, and finally, vacuum sealed. All internal preamplifiers are Surface Mount Technology (SMT) for quality and reliability. Each pickup is tested for audio quality and reliability before encapsulation and again before shipment. For more information, please visit .www.emginc.com."

So, worth it or not? Also, you have to love the spectacular grammar and spelling of this message from a professional company.

Like not putting string holes on a guitar with a string through only bridge

Stitch · 03-26-2008, 11:19 AM

I demand to know this story you speak of.

*cough* *cough* whatever could ibzorange be on about.....

That really annoyed me, luckily i'm getting it fixed for free by a carpenter in my family

cyril v · 03-26-2008, 12:32 PM

i haven't played this particular halo guitar, but the one i did was bad, quite possibly one of the crappiest guitars i've ever touched in my life. though that was like three years ago, so maybe they have better quality stuff now? doubt it.

I think the pickups might be worth more than the guitar you're putting them in...

So is that similar to, "all your base are belong to us" or what? Also, it has quad truss rods?! OMGZ!

The grammar in that ad hurts my head and makes me sad to think that a company could consider releasing something like that and believe it to look professional.
