Value is in the details; the little things that might not even be seen; taking the time to get to know you before we begin your instrument, listening to your wants and needs, giving each project the kind of care and attention it deserves, getting it right the first time, on time...that's what makes a Conklin worth the investment and worth the wait.

Quality resounds in the construction and components. We use the world's most beautiful and durable exotic, hardwood tonewoods in your handmade instrument and outfit it with the most state-of-the-art hardware and componentry. Every Custom Conklin neck and body are designed, milled, glued, carved, routed, sanded and finished by hand in Bill Conklin's Springfield, Missouri guitar shop. The joinery is flawless, the attention to detail is meticulous and the end result is phenomenal. Rest assured, your Conklin Custom Shop guitar or bass will be World Class, Museum Quality and Professional Grade.

"I can't tell you how absolutely KNOCKED OUT I am with the job you did. The fit, finish and attention to detail are incredible! The 7 strings played flawlessly. Chord work in the upper register sounds phenomenal, totally in tune. The sound of the bass is totally killer, the clarity present throughout the entire range. I couldn't have asked for anything more."
