Does Blakhart do custom upgrades?
Yes, but once you deviate from the Blakhart Production specs, you are automatically stepping into a Custom Shop order. This is pretty simple, anything changed from what is listed on the standard specs of any prodction guitar or bass will automatically be a custom order.

Does Blakhart do ground up custom builds?
Yes we do. Blakhart actually offers two tiers of Custom Shop builds. This is important, so please read if you are interested in a Custom Shop:

Tier 1 Custom Shop:
Blakhart now offers Tier 1 USA custom Shop guitars and basses. These are top of the line from top to bottom, built to spec and hand created. Pricing starts at $1400. More information is available by emailing info@blakhartguitars.com.

Tier 2 Custom Shop:
Blakhart Tier 2 customs are imports. They are open to spec adjustments within our body styles and finish options. Tier 2 Custom Shop Blakhart Guitars are the perfect solution for players who want a personalized guitar that does not break the budget. Tier 2 customs start at $700 and go up according to specs.

Construction can take anywhere from 90-120 days depending on production schedule and details of the build. There is no, 'your guitar will be done exactly buy X day'. That is simply not possible to promise.
