Your guitar is an extension of your personality. It is a tool designed for you to make the most of your musical abilities. At Conklin Custom Shop, we are all about that. We are dedicated to creating uncompromising instruments with unmatched craftsmanship that are straight out of your imagination. With our instruments, you can reach unexplored horizons and discover the new potential within yourself.


Whether you want to acquire an extended range Sidewinder 7 string guitar with a multi-scale 36 fret fingerboard or an 8 string with a partially scalloped fretboard, or you need a Hollowbody Crossover Bodystyle with nylon strings and piezo pickups. Perhaps you'd like to top off an otherwise simple Sidewinder 6 string with one of our incredible exotic wood "Melted Tops"; we turn good ideas into great guitars.


Just send us an email with a complete list of your desired specifications, and we will create your dream guitar.


Every guitar we make gets the kind of meticulous care and attention it deserves, ensuring a phenomenal end product.
