Made By Hal instruments are hand made using new and recycled parts to create unique one-of-a-kind instruments that actually play well and sound great.  They are made by Hal personally and have all been tested extensively for playability and quality before they are delivered to you.

We specialize in 19" to 23" scale instruments with 3 or 4 strings using cigar boxes, license plates or other boxes to create the bodies and locally sourced woods for the neck and fingerboard.

23 is a 3 string electric twanger built on a Padron cigar box. It is 19" in scale length and uses a yard stick for a fingerboard along with a unique slotted head stock design and recessed jack on the but end of the guitar. The action is low enough to fret but the humbucking pickup sounds awesome with some overdrive and played with a brass slide.
