Hi there folks, and welcome to Halvy Custom Creations.I want to give you a little background on myself, and what we are all about.
I was born , raised, and have lived my entire life in the small Southeastern Mn town of Houston.  I had a very All -American upbringing.  Since we were from such a  small town, my friends and I played every sport imaginable, and even invented a few new ones.   Sports and athletics were always number one to me growing up,  and I always thought that I would spend my life pursuing them.  In my freshman year of high school my body started to break down physically with knee and shoulder problems, and I realized that "Oh No" I might not be able to play football for the rest of my life.
  Music has always played a big role in my life.  As fate would have it, I found out that pounding on the drums, playing guitar, or just dancing in the basement to dads old Credence records was much easier on my body than football.  Like I said, I had a very All-American upbringing , and was fortunate to have two amazing parents that indulged all of my interests.  My sister and I were given the opportunity and encouraged to pursue our creative side.
I started out banging on a drum set ,  but  knowing  I had an interest in music, my mom went out and bought a brand new acoustic guitar for me.  The guitar sat around for a few years, but as I began to dig deeper and deeper into the old classic rock and blues music that I loved, I knew I had to start playing it.
I've never really had any interest in anything that I couldn't  teach myself, so the first couple of years were spent in my bedroom learning every acoustic intro, solo, and chord progression to those songs I loved.  I started with the intention of learning a few songs that I could enterain my friends with, or play around the campfire.  As luck would have it, a local band (Virginia Dare), had just lost their  lead guitarist, and happened to see me playing around the campfire one night at a graduation party.  They asked me if I would be interested in playing with them, and even though I didn't have an electric guitar, I told them I would try.  I went out and bought a new telecaster, and spent the next six months practicing solo's six hours a day.  I was addicted and from there on my love of music just snowballed.
Anything I've ever been intersted in becomes an obsession, and before long I needed to know the "how's" and "why's" of the electric guitar.  Why does one pickup sound different than another one?  Why does a certain type of wood sound different then another?
I began building out of my bedroom and as I progressed as a player, I slowly started to put some ideas together.  I knew I wasn't going to reinvent the wheel, but there were things I knew I could improve on that would make a guitar either more playable,sound better, or just plain prettier to look at. 
Soon after I started building, my uncle, Chuck (Tucker) saw one of my guitars and became very excited.  Having 35 years of woodworking experience himself, I knew his contribution could be invaluable and we decided to start Halvy CustomCreations.  Building one of a kind custom instruments and working with the customer to give them exactly what they want, has become our business.  The appreciation and satisfaction from the people we have built guitars for has been the most rewarding  part of all of this so far.
As a guitar player there is nothing quite like playing an instrument that looks, feels and sounds like a part  of you.
