The MusicStreet Setup Advantage: Why Your Epiphone Deserves It
Epiphone guitars are manufactured to incredibly high standards, with features like Grover tuners, CTS potentiometers, Graph Tech nuts, and USA-designed pickups now standard across the range. However, even the best factory-made guitar requires individual optimization. Wood naturally shifts during transit, and a factory setup is designed for speed, not precision or personal preference.
At MusicStreet, we ensure every Epiphone plays at its absolute peak. We perform a free £75 professional workshop setup on every single instrument 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 Epiphone 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 Epiphone 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 Epiphone Guitars
Are Epiphone guitars good quality? +
Absolutely. Modern Epiphone guitars, particularly the "Inspired by Gibson" range, feature premium components including CTS pots, Graph Tech nuts, Grover tuners, and USA-designed pickups. They are manufactured to incredibly high standards and are trusted by professional touring musicians around the world as both backup and primary instruments.
What is the difference between Epiphone and Gibson? +
Epiphone is Gibson's sister brand, offering instruments with the same iconic body shapes (Les Paul, SG, ES-335) and design philosophy at a more accessible price point. While Gibson instruments are handcrafted in the USA, Epiphones are manufactured overseas and feature slightly different tonewoods and finishes, delivering outstanding quality and value.
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.
Epiphone Guitars: A Century of Musical Heritage & Innovation
While many modern players know Epiphone as the sister brand to Gibson, Epiphone’s history actually pre-dates Gibson, stretching back to 1873 in Smyrna, Ottoman Empire (now Izmir, Turkey). From their early days crafting world-class banjos and archtop jazz guitars to their modern status as a powerhouse of electric and acoustic design, Epiphone has always stood for innovation and accessibility.
Whether you are looking to buy an Epiphone guitar online or upgrading your current rig, Epiphone delivers professional-grade performance at an incredible price-to-value ratio.
