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.

Gibson Hummingbird Standard Vintage Sunburst

£3,199.00

Much of the Hummingbird’s appeal lies in its versatility. No matter how you approach this flat-top, it delivers rich, deep tones, equally adept at strumming first-position chords as it is at taking the spotlight for picking lead lines. Its spacious mahogany body and sweet, select Sitka spruce top are more than capable of locking down rhythms for a rock and roll sideman or accompanying the most nuanced performances of today’s alternative singer-songwriters.

The Hummingbird's mahogany neck features a comfortably rounded profile and mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays. This guitar includes a TUSQ® nut, saddle, and bridge pins, along with Grover® Rotomatic® tuners and the iconic Hummingbird™ graphics on the pickguard. It's also equipped with LR Baggs® VTC electronics, making it ready to plug in on stage or in the studio. A Gibson hardshell case is included.
