One great thing about custom guitars is that they can really have a hand made look like this one, and that is much better than the mass produced guitars that all look the same.

Getting a custom made guitar, or modifying your guitar with custom guitar parts is more than just a meaningless extravagance. It is also more than having a better sounding and easier to play instrument, although that is obviously a big part of it. What is important about a custom guitar is that it reflect your values, that it integrate your individual values and likes into the form of an instrument.
The fact is, when you get a regular factory made guitar, you may not be happy with every aspect of it. There may be a few parts that you wish were a different material or color, but you deal with it. Most people will not take the time to customize their guitars in this case, but it should be done.
