Balaguer Guitars has launched two new headless electric guitar models, the Vega and the Anomaly.
Both guitars are offered via the company’s “Build Your Own” line, with a host of customizable options.
Customers can choose everything from tone woods, solid or chambered body design and number of strings (seven or eight), to neck profile, fingerboard woods and set or neck-thru construction.


Additionally, there are options for pickups, fixed or tremolo bridges, color and finishes and more.
The Anomaly and Vega both start at $1,619.
