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.

The Anatomy of EVH High-Performance Innovation

Every detail on an EVH guitar was created to overcome technical limitations and expand what a player can execute on stage:

Patented EVH D-Tuna® Instantly drop your low E string to D and back in a split-second flick of the finger, without touching your locking nut or fine tuners.

12"-16" Compound Radius Comfortably rounded at the nut for tight rhythm playing, flattening out across upper frets for massive bends with zero fretting out.

5150 High-Gain Amplification Direct-mount EVH humbuckers are voiced specifically to push high-gain valve heads into singing sustain and tight percussive crunch.

Frequently Asked Questions About EVH Guitars

Are EVH guitars and Floyd Rose tremolos set up before UK delivery?

Yes. Every EVH guitar purchased from MusicStreet undergoes a comprehensive bench setup by our workshop technicians. We balance Floyd Rose spring tension, calibrate the EVH D-Tuna®, optimize action height for fast playability without buzz, and precision-tune intonation so your guitar arrives gig-ready straight out of the box.

How does the EVH D-Tuna® work?

The patented EVH D-Tuna® is attached to the low E string fine-tuner on a flush-mounted Floyd Rose bridge. Sliding the D-Tuna out instantly drops your low string from standard E down to D, and sliding it back in returns it perfectly to standard pitch—eliminating the need to unlock the nut or retune mid-set.

What is the difference between EVH Wolfgang Special and Wolfgang Standard?

The Wolfgang Special features a solid arched top with 1-ply body binding, direct-mount EVH Wolfgang humbuckers, an EVH-branded Floyd Rose with D-Tuna, and a quarter-sawn baked maple neck. The Wolfgang Standard offers an ergonomic forearm contour, direct-mount pickups, a baked maple neck with graphite reinforcement, and an EVH Floyd Rose Special at a working musician price point.
