Xylem basses and guitars are custom-built to your exact specifications.
At Xylem, "custom" means much more than simply choosing the color, pickups and fretboard of what is otherwise a standard-model instrument. Xylem creates truly custom basses and guitars that can be personalized down to the smallest detail. Your Xylem instrument will be perfectly suited to you, and will allow you to play like never before.
Want something classic like a Fender or Gibson-inspired instrument? How about something more exotic, or completely unique? Your imagination is the only limit. Xylem can create the bass or guitar of your dreams.
Check out the orders page to order a custom bass or guitar, or see the available Xylem basses and guitars.
