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.

Electric Guitar Buyer’s Guide: Finding Your Perfect Instrument

Whether you are stepping onto the stage for the first time, tracking in the studio, or expanding your personal collection, selecting the right electric guitar is an investment in your sound and feel. At Music Street, our showroom in Huntingdon stocks an extensive range of solid-body, semi-hollow, and boutique electrics—each individually inspected and professionally set up before leaving our store.

1. Body Construction Types

Solid-Body: Maximum sustain, high feedback resistance at loud volumes, and punchy attack (e.g., Stratocaster, Telecaster, Les Paul, PRS Custom).
Semi-Hollow Body: Features a solid center block with hollow resonant wings and F-holes. Delivers warm acoustic character with controlled sustain (e.g., ES-335, Duesenberg Starplayer).
Hollow-Body / Archtop: Maximum acoustic resonance, woody low-end, and jazz/blues warmth, best suited for low to medium-gain playing styles.

2. Pickup Anatomy & Tonality

Single-Coil Pickups: Bell-like clarity, crisp highs, and distinct chime. Perfect for funk, blues, indie, and country twang.
Humbucking Pickups (Dual-Coil): Noise-cancelling coils producing thick, warm mids and heavy low-end. Ideal for hard rock, metal, and heavy blues.
P-90 Pickups: High-output single coils offering an aggressive midrange bark with dynamic touch sensitivity.

3. Scale Length & Neck Profiles

25.5" Scale (Fender Standard): Higher string tension, snapping percussive response, and defined bass notes.
24.75" Scale (Gibson Standard): Lower string tension for effortless string bending, slinkier feel, and warmer fundamental tones.
25.0" Scale (PRS Standard): The ergonomic hybrid balance combining easy string bends with rich upper-register harmonic sparkle.

For players starting their journey, we recommend versatile models such as the Squier Classic Vibe or Sonic Series, Epiphone Les Paul / SG Standard, or Ibanez Gio / RG Series.
