One
of the main functions of a Custom Guitar Shop should be to hit the
target the first time by building as close to a perfect instrument as
possible!
At Haywire Custom Guitars our aim is getting better every day! The
job is only complete when you are completely happy with your guitar
because you'll use it every day. It needs to be comfortable and
light-weight enough to play for hours at a time in any situation without
fatigue.
The sound has to be clear and tone-great. It has to
be built to withstand the rigors of being on the road whether touring or
playing in local venues. It has to feel good to you when you play it.
The action and feel need to be consistent all the way down the neck so
you won't be forced to alter your playing technique as you travel around
on the fret board. A guitar players instrument needs to be in tune on
every fret so we pay careful attention to the intonation settings.
It has to look good for you and represent your sense of style. The
finish has to last for a long time to protect the wood from absorbing
moisture from the atmosphere as well as sweat from direct contact with
hard working hands.
The neck needs to have a truss rod that is
easy to adjust for seasonal variations in temperature as well as the
ability to transmit sound and add extra sustain for players. Strings
added need to be a comfortable gauge without too much resistance thus
making it easier to push down to the crown of the frets.
