Conklin Custom Quote/Estimator

We appreciate your interest in Conklin (guitars/basses). The instruments shown in our (guitar/bass) gallery are examples of custom (guitars/basses) that we have created for other players. We can build your (guitar/bass) nearly identical to the one in the gallery or create a unique instrument built entirely to your specifications. Prices range from the base model (which includes quite an impressive list of standard options) and go up from there according to how you personalize it with custom options that you may want or need.
With that in mind, let's get started on your dream machine....
