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.

Nitro finish for vintage aesthetics

The Schecter Nick Johnston PT Wembley boasts a nitro finish that delivers an authentic, vintage appearance. This timeless coating not only provides a beautiful, worn-in look but also allows the wood to resonate more freely, enhancing the guitar's tonal qualities. It's the perfect combination of visual appeal and sonic performance, giving players both style and substance in a single instrument.

Wenge neck ensures smooth playability

With a neck made from Wenge, the Nick Johnston PT Wembley offers a superb playing experience. Known for its strength and stability, Wenge is ideal for providing smooth playability while ensuring durability for long-term use. Combined with the custom 'C' shape, this neck allows players to move effortlessly across the fretboard, making complex techniques more accessible.

Versatile SH pickup configuration

Equipped with an SH pickup configuration, the Nick Johnston PT Wembley delivers a broad tonal palette. The NJ SubAtomic bridge pickup provides tight, powerful tones perfect for high-gain scenarios, while the NJ Atombucker neck pickup offers warmth and clarity for clean playing. This setup makes the guitar incredibly versatile, suited for a wide range of musical styles.

Coil-splitting for tonal flexibility

The coil-splitting function on the Nick Johnston PT Wembley adds another layer of flexibility to its already versatile sound. With a simple pull on the tone knob, players can switch between the fuller humbucker sound and the crisp, articulate tones of a single-coil. This feature makes the guitar adaptable to a variety of playing situations, from sharp leads to rhythm work.
