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.

Lowden Guitars

Handmade in Northern Ireland: Lowden O, F, S and Wee Lowden acoustics, set up in our workshop.

Lowden: handmade in Northern Ireland

George Lowden's guitars are handmade in Downpatrick, Northern Ireland. Players love them for their rich, complex tone and smooth response. From the big-voiced O series to the compact Wee Lowden, there's a Lowden for every player.

Choosing a Lowden body size

O series: the largest body, with deep bass and powerful projection
F series: mid-size and balanced, a great all-rounder for strumming and fingerstyle
S series: smaller, focused and articulate, ideal for fingerstyle
Wee Lowden: compact, comfortable and surprisingly big-sounding
