The MusicStreet Setup Advantage: Why Your Fender Deserves It
Fender guitars are celebrated worldwide for their modular bolt-on construction, comfortable neck profiles, and highly responsive pickups. However, even a brand-new Fender straight from the Corona, California or Ensenada, Mexico factory requires individual optimization to play its absolute best. Wood naturally breathes and shifts during transit across different climates, and factory setups are designed for speed, not precision.
At MusicStreet, we treat every Fender with the reverence it deserves. We perform a **free £75 professional workshop setup** on every single Fender guitar we sell. Our expert luthiers adjust the truss rod, file the nut slots, level the bridge saddles, and polish the frets to ensure your new instrument plays with a comfortable, buzz-free low action straight out of the box.
🔧 Free £75 Professional Setup
Every Fender guitar is individually set up in our in-house workshop. We adjust the action, intonation, and neck relief to match your playing style, ensuring it plays perfectly straight out of the box.
🛡️ 12-Month Warranty
We stand behind every instrument we sell. All of our Fender guitars come with a full 12-month warranty, giving you complete peace of mind with your purchase.
🚚 Free UK Delivery & 14-Day Returns
Get free, fully insured UK shipping on all orders over £99. If the guitar isn't the perfect fit for your hands, return it to us within 14 days for a hassle-free refund or exchange.

Why Buy Your Fender from Music Street?
A guitar is only as good as its setup. Many online retailers ship guitars straight from the factory box, which often leads to high action, buzzing frets, and poor intonation.
At Music Street, we do things differently. Our in-house luthiers perform a complete, professional setup on every Fender guitar before shipping. We adjust the truss rod, file the nut slots, set the bridge saddle height, and polish the frets. This complimentary service ensures your guitar is comfortable, easy to play, and sounds its absolute best from day one.
