The journey begins with a meticulous selection of premium tonewoods sourced from exotic locales like South America, where you can personally choose from revered species such as mahogany and Brazilian rosewood, each imbuing your guitar with its own distinctive tonal voice and visual allure, with Brazilian rosewood renowned for its rich, complex tone and stunning visual grain patterns, prized by luthiers and players alike for its ability to produce a warm, resonant sound with exceptional sustain, allowing you to create a truly one-of-a-kind instrument that reflects your musical identity and the care and craftsmanship that went into its creation, as the unique properties of each wood will interact with your playing style and the other components of your custom guitar to produce a sound that is uniquely yours.

Aesthetically, your custom guitar will be a true masterpiece, as our skilled luthiers will work closely with you to apply the finish of your dreams – from classic nitrocellulose lacquers that provide a smooth, glossy surface enhancing the natural beauty of the wood while allowing it to age gracefully over time, to bold metallic hues achieved through a multi-step process involving a metallic base coat and clear topcoat for an eye-catching, shimmering look that commands attention, or meticulously aged relic'd patinas that simulate years of wear and tear to create the look and feel of a well-loved instrument with a rich history and character, resulting in a guitar that is not only sonically superior but also a visual work of art reflecting your personal style and musical identity, inspiring you to create music that is as visually stunning as it is sonically powerful from the moment you pick it up.

But the customization extends far beyond the foundation woods, as Carneglia offers a vast array of high-end components, including hand-crafted boutique pickups tailored to your specific preferences, whether you prefer the warm, vintage-inspired tones of alnico magnet pickups or the high-output, aggressive sound of ceramic pickups, along with premium capacitors measured individually to ensure optimal performance, providing smooth, precise control over your volume and tone and allowing you to shape your sound with pinpoint accuracy, with each connection soldered by hand using high-quality lead-free solder to ensure a clean, noise-free signal path, free from any unwanted interference or tone-robbing components, guaranteeing your guitar will possess unparalleled sound and responsiveness, with a dynamic, expressive voice that adapts seamlessly to your playing style, inspiring you to push the boundaries of your playing and create music that truly stands out, whether you're playing clean, shimmering chords or unleashing a barrage of high-gain riffs.
