Have an 8 or 9 string fretboard made to fit your 7 neck.

Send it to novax > he'll do the Fan Fret install on it.

Install on the 7 neck along with two extra tuners.

Install Pick Up of your choice.

Install Bridge of your choice.

Pocket $4K.

are you fucking nuts?

Is that a serious suggestion?

 

[hacker666758]

I thought my quote from Conklin was very reasonable


8 String Sidewinder Guitar (New Century Series Club Model) $3,200
Solid Cherry Wood Body
Black Satin Finish on Body
Maple/Purpleheart Multi-laminate Neck
Cocobolo Fingerboard
25.5" Scale Length
24 Frets
Black Hardware (Gotoh Tuners/Hipshot Bridge)
Pro Package (minus EQ) $555
Upgrade to Lundgren M8 Pickups $200

Total $3,955

Resonable, although I'd go elsewhere for more bang for my buck. Oni Guitars for example.

 

[David]

Yeah, the 9 I might get is around $7500, but I figured that I didn't need everything I had put on my list, so I got it down to around $5300. I think that's perfectly fine price for conklin. And Nick, what do you expect to pay for an 8 string guitar? $500? They're expensive dude. I'd suggest building one yourself if you want to have it cost a lot cheaper.

 

[dpm]

I haven't had a chance to play a Conklin yet. I'm hoping they're as good as I think they are, and if they are the pricing is 100% legit. You can get some ordinary guitars for $5000 from certain makers.

Thanks Papa Shank!

Hey cool! Check out this one =>

No problemo Dan ma lad.

That last one seems to resemble a cum catcher

I'd like SPERZEL tuners beyond Gotoh -

and....... if I were tossing down that cubic cash
for a 'Turn-Key' - it would be a 10 string.



For anyone who likes Nylon String Guitars:

now, a Bernabe' of this class would set you down for the
coolest $15K.

What the fuck!!! I emailed them for a quote and my 8 was way less complex than yours and mine came to 4600!!!! Those bastards!!!!

My design was

Mahogany body
sidewinder
ebony board
maple neck
tung oil finish
string thru body with graphtech saddles
1 volume
1 3 way toggle
2 EMG pickups (both cost bout $200 each)
Bolt on neck
schaller tuners


Thats it!!! NO WAY that should be 4600!

But I found a local pro luthier that can do it for 2400. So I think Ill go with him!

The Conklin seems quite reasonable in my book, considering the name, the quality, the woods, and the components. 9 months is an AWESOME lead time for a completely custom guitar.

How about this one: Driskill guitars.
Fantastic build quality, sickening tops/woods, one-piece machined trem system....

Base Price: Somewhere around $5K.
Wait Time: Over 2 years (guys are lining up around the block to get on the list).

....and he only does 6-strings.

AND you can choose AAAA or AAAAA woods.

Warmoth.com might do a custom neck & body > he has a CNC rig > for a bolt on it could come in around 12 to 14oo.

No 8 strings will be coming out of there. Only 6s and 7s.

 

[hacker666758]

Conklin also said that I'll have it in six months.

Ok, I have to say it... your a complete dumbass. SO:
http://www.conklinguitars.com/2005guitarprices.html

add it up on there, it could be cheaper.

Ok asshole. I emailed Bill Conklin DIRECTLY!!!!!! He quoted me that much. I know about that price list.

 

[Vince]

I don't care who started it. End the bickering/fighting/namecalling now or bannings will be frivolously handed out.

Thanks.

lol, I was just joking dude... don't flip out. Thought you would like to see that. I was just raggin on ya. From there, you can view all the woods and what you would like on it, and see the price they charge. If you gave Bill the specs, he may have manipulated it a bit, or misunderstood, or something... and added it up differently. The base price is still going to be around $3500 for the basics... (i think it's that much)

 

[Scott]

lol, I was just joking dude... don't flip out.

When saying something jokingly, you are obligated to add a smilie afterwards. Doesn't matter what you say, you can type up someones address and say you are going to come by at 8pm and cut them open. If you add a smilie, it's all good

And why the fuck is the ban icon a deodorant stick? Come on people, get like a gun or some kind of weapon or some shit. Something to scare people like decapitation or non-alcoholic beer.

Cause BAN Is a deoderant?;p
