The MusicStreet Setup Advantage: Why Your PRS Acoustic Deserves It
PRS acoustic guitars are celebrated for their highly comfortable, electric-like neck profiles, making them an exceptional choice for players transitioning from electric to acoustic. However, because these guitars are crafted from premium solid tonewoods, they are exceptionally sensitive to temperature and relative humidity changes during transit. A factory setup, while excellent, is rarely optimized for your specific playing style or the UK climate.
At MusicStreet, we treat every PRS with the reverence it deserves. We perform a **free £75 professional workshop setup** on every single PRS acoustic guitar we sell. Our expert luthiers adjust the truss rod, file the nut slots, precision-shave the bridge saddle, 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 PRS acoustic 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 PRS acoustic 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.

Frequently Asked Questions About PRS Acoustic Guitars
What makes PRS acoustic guitars unique?
+
PRS acoustic guitars feature Paul Reed Smith's proprietary hybrid "X"/Classical bracing pattern. This bracing locks down the back and sides of the instrument while allowing the solid top to vibrate freely, resulting in exceptional projection, warmth, and string-to-string balance. Combined with their signature bird inlays and comfortable neck profiles, they offer a truly unique playing experience.
What is included in your £75 professional setup?
+
Our expert in-house technicians perform a complete multi-point inspection. This includes adjusting the neck relief (truss rod), setting the optimal string action (height) at both the nut and bridge saddles, setting the intonation, cleaning and conditioning the fretboard, polishing the frets, checking all electronics/pots, and installing a fresh set of premium strings.
Can I trade in my old gear toward a purchase?
+
Absolutely. We offer a highly competitive part-exchange program. You can bring your gear directly to our Huntingdon showroom for an on-the-spot valuation, or contact us online with photos and details to receive a preliminary trade-in estimate.
The PRS Acoustic Philosophy: Innovation Meets Tradition
When Paul Reed Smith set out to design acoustic guitars, he didn't want to simply copy existing designs. He wanted to create instruments that offered a highly balanced, articulate, and modern voice, combined with the legendary playability and striking visual beauty that defines the PRS brand.
Every prs acoustic guitar features innovative structural designs:
-
The Hybrid X/Classical Bracing: PRS's proprietary bracing pattern combines the robust stability of traditional steel-string X-bracing with the highly flexible, fan-style bracing of classical guitars. This allows the top to vibrate more freely, delivering a warm, open, and highly resonant voice with exceptional projection.
-
Premium Tonewoods: Utilizing hand-selected woods—such as solid Sitka spruce tops paired with mahogany, maple, or ovangkol back and sides—to offer a diverse range of tonal characters.
-
The Trademark PRS Aesthetics: Every model features the iconic PRS headstock shape, comfortable neck profiles, and the beautiful, signature pearloid bird fingerboard inlays.
Explore the PRS SE Acoustic Lineup
1. The PRS SE Angelus Series (Cutaway)
Designed for modern performance and comfort. The PRS Angelus features a comfortable, mid-sized body shape with a deep cutaway, offering effortless access to the upper frets. With its highly focused, articulate, and punchy midrange, the Angelus is the perfect tool for fingerstyle players, lead acoustic work, and modern pop-rock strumming.
2. The PRS SE Tonare Series (Non-Cutaway)
For players who demand a deeper, more robust acoustic voice. The PRS Tonare features a traditional, non-cutaway grand concert body shape. This design maximizes the internal volume of the body, delivering a rich, powerful bass response, warm midrange, and sweet, singing highs with incredible sustain.
Stage-Ready Versatility: Premium Electronics
For performing musicians, our collection of PRS SE acoustics offers the perfect blend of natural acoustic resonance and advanced stage-ready electronics. Equipped with premium pickup and preamp systems—such as the Fishman GT1 or PRS-Voiced Sonitone systems—these instruments allow you to plug directly into any PA system or acoustic amplifier, preserving the natural, room-filling voice of your guitar while eliminating feedback on stage.
4. The MusicStreet Difference: Workshop-Prepared Playability
At MusicStreet, we don't believe in "box shifting." Acoustic guitars are highly sensitive instruments made of wood, and their playability is highly sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity.
Every single PRS acoustic guitar that leaves our Huntingdon showroom undergoes a rigorous, multi-point inspection and a professional workshop setup (worth £75) by our expert guitar techs. We adjust the action, relief, nut slots, and saddle height to ensure your new PRS plays effortlessly straight out of the box.
