The foundation of your custom guitar starts here. Choose your preferred body shape, scale length, and finish color. These selections define the fundamental playing feel, tonal character, and visual identity of your instrument before any tonewoods or hardware come into play.

Tonewoods are the soul of every acoustic guitar. Your choice of neck, top, back, and sides woods will shape the instrument's voice — from warm and woody to bright and powerful. Fivcil sources premium tonewoods from trusted suppliers worldwide, and each grade is hand-inspected for tap tone, grain consistency, and visual beauty. The prices below reflect the additional cost over the base price.
The neck blank determines structural stability and contributes subtle tonal warmth. A two-piece construction is standard and highly reliable; upgrading to a one-piece neck provides a seamless aesthetic and marginally improved resonance transfer.
The soundboard is the single most influential factor in your guitar's tone. Spruce tops deliver clarity and dynamic range, while cedar tops offer warmth and immediacy. Higher grades feature tighter, more uniform grain and superior tap-tone response — translating directly into richer harmonics and greater volume. Review the full range of available tops below, listed from the included standard option through our most elite offerings.
Back and side woods shape the guitar's overtone complexity, projection, and visual character. Mahogany families tend toward warm, focused midrange, while rosewoods add sparkling highs and deep bass. Exotic species like Cocobolo and Brazilian Rosewood bring extraordinary harmonic richness and stunning figuring — these are truly once-in-a-lifetime tonewoods for the discerning builder.
The final layer of customization covers hardware, fretboard materials, headstock design, and decorative inlays. These components affect tuning stability, playability, and the visual personality of your finished instrument. While the standard appointments are carefully chosen for quality and reliability, upgrades allow you to fine-tune every detail to your exact specification.
Smooth, reliable tuning is non-negotiable. Choose from industry-standard Grover or precision Gotoh tuners to suit your preferred gear ratio and aesthetic.
- Grover Open/Closed Tuner — +$0
- Grover Classical — +$50
- Gotoh Tuner — Priced based on specific model selected
Bridge pins influence string coupling and sustain transfer. All of the following materials are included at no additional charge — select whichever suits your tonal preference and aesthetic.
- Bone
- Ebony
- Red Sandalwood
- Plastic Steel
- Tusq
All bridge pin options: +$0
The nut and saddle are critical contact points that shape sustain, intonation, and overall clarity. Natural bone is the time-tested standard; TUSQ and camel bone offer alternatives with subtly different tonal characteristics.
- Bone — +$0
- TUSQ — +$20
- Camel Bone — +$20
Ebony is the gold standard for fretboard material — dense, smooth, and beautifully resonant. Upgrading to pure black ebony ensures a flawless, jet-black playing surface with zero visible grain variation.
- Ebony — +$0
- Pure Black Ebony — +$50
The headstock is the visual signature of your guitar. The standard Fivcil headstock style reflects our brand identity and is designed for optimal string break angle. If you prefer a different silhouette to match a particular aesthetic or tradition, our luthiers can accommodate custom headstock shapes.
