What is the difference between a high-end production guitar and a Custom Shop model?

High-end production guitars (such as PRS Core Custom 24 or Gibson USA Standard) utilize advanced CNC precision combined with hand-finishing in standard production runs. Custom Shop models feature lower batch volumes, hand-selected tonewoods, custom hand-wound pickups, period-accurate construction, and master luthier voicing.

Why should I avoid drop-shipped high-end electric guitars?

Drop-shipped guitars are dispatched directly from logistics warehouses without unboxing or inspection. Without a bench inspection and 5-point setup by an in-house guitar technician, you risk receiving an unplayable instrument affected by climate shifts during storage and transit.

What does MusicStreet's 5-point setup include?

Every instrument sold through MusicStreet undergoes a comprehensive 5-point bench inspection: truss rod and neck relief calibration, nut slot depth check, bridge radius and intonation alignment, pickup height and electronic circuit testing, and fretboard conditioning.

Can I try boutique and custom shop guitars in person at MusicStreet?

Yes. MusicStreet operates a showroom at 10 Chequers Court, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, where players can test premium PRS, Fender, and Gibson models through high-end amplifiers in a dedicated testing environment.

Are all guitars set up before dispatch?

Yes. Every instrument is physically stocked on-site and undergoes a rigorous workshop setup by professional working musicians before dispatch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do acoustic guitars come set up from MusicStreet?

Yes. Every acoustic guitar is thoroughly inspected and set up by our in-house guitar techs—adjusting truss rod relief, saddle height, and nut slots for optimal playability.

What is the difference between solid wood and laminate acoustics?

Solid wood tops and bodies vibrate more freely to produce richer harmonics and mature with age, while laminate woods offer exceptional durability and humidity resistance.

Acoustic Guitar Buyer’s Guide: Body Shapes, Tonewoods & Electronics

Finding the perfect acoustic guitar requires balancing projection, ergonomic comfort, tonal balance, and amplification requirements. At Music Street, every instrument is carefully inspected in our Huntingdon workshop to ensure optimal playability and intonation across the entire register.

1. Body Shapes & Resonance

Dreadnought: The iconic industry standard offering bold low-end projection, powerful volume, and rich harmonic depth for strumming and flatpicking.
Grand Auditorium (000 / OM): Balanced response across bass, mids, and trebles. Ergonomic waist makes it the premier choice for fingerstyle and studio recording.
Parlor & Concert: Compact body dimensions delivering punchy, articulate midrange clarity and exceptional portable comfort.
Jumbo: Maximum internal volume generating deep, thunderous bass and expansive acoustic headroom.

2. Solid Tonewood Characteristics

Sitka Spruce Top: Crisp dynamic range, bright articulation, and high volume ceiling that responds well to all playing dynamics.
Solid Mahogany (Top/Body): Warm, focused fundamental tones with punchy midrange compression and minimal overtones.
Rosewood Back & Sides: Deep, resonant bass response combined with bell-like high-frequency sparkle and scooped mids.
Solid Cedar: Warm, responsive acoustic sensitivity favored by classical and light-touch fingerstyle guitarists.

3. Electro-Acoustic Preamp Systems

Undersaddle Piezo Pickups: Reliable, feedback-resistant stage amplification ideal for high-volume live performance.
Internal Microphone & Dual-Source Systems: Blends undersaddle pickup stability with true acoustic air and percussive body resonance (e.g., Maton AP5 Pro, LR Baggs Anthem).
Onboard Controls: Integrated tuners, phase switches, and multi-band EQ for fast tone adjustments on stage.

The Music Street Acoustic Setup Promise

Acoustic guitars are sensitive to climate and string tension. Before your guitar is boxed and shipped, our technicians perform:

Neck relief assessment and dual-action truss rod calibration
Nut slot depth and bone saddle height adjustment for low, buzz-free action
Fret leveling inspection, crowning, and hand-polishing
Fretboard hydration with lemon oil / conditioner
Preamp, battery, and pickup output balance test

Frequently Asked Questions About Acoustic Guitars

What is the difference between an acoustic and electro-acoustic guitar? +

A purely acoustic guitar produces sound exclusively through its resonant wood body and soundhole. An electro-acoustic guitar features an integrated pickup system and onboard preamp, allowing you to plug directly into an acoustic amplifier, PA system, or audio interface for live stage and studio performance.

Are acoustic guitars set up before they are shipped? +

Yes. Every acoustic guitar at Music Street receives a thorough workshop setup by our guitar technicians. We ensure optimal action height, proper truss rod relief, and flawless intonation so that your guitar arrives ready to play comfortably straight out of the box.

What is the best acoustic guitar for beginners? +

For beginners, models with solid tops and comfortable neck profiles—such as the Yamaha FG/FS Series, Alvarez Regent/Artist Series, or Epiphone J-45 / Dove Studio—offer the best combination of rich tone, durability, and easy playability under £300–£500.

Do you deliver across the UK, and is shipping free? +

We provide fully insured, tracked courier delivery throughout the UK mainland. All guitar orders over £99 qualify for free delivery. We also offer 0% interest-free finance options at checkout.

Can I visit your showroom to test acoustic guitars in person? +

Yes, our Huntingdon showroom (53 High Street, Huntingdon, PE29 3AQ) features a dedicated acoustic room where you can compare tonewoods, neck profiles, and body shapes in a comfortable, quiet testing environment.
