A well made custom guitar will in most instances give you more sustain, clarity, and overtone complexity than higher end factory guitars. Another common trait I found was that the Santa Cruz, Froggy Bottom, and Collings guitars I owned had a level of resonance that “reverberated” through my upper body that just did not seem to be there with the very nice Taylors I have owned. That’s the main traits that have pulled me over to custom guitars.
