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.

SOLD OUT

Carefully refined since its debut in 2000 The Bad Cat Cub II has some subtle improvements from the early classic circuits. Perhaps now it's one of the finest amplifiers of its type. 15W of pure chime! Syrupy, sweet with the sheen of crystal highs. Low end that is warm and tight. Switch from the bass and treble control to the five-way tone selector and get a nice thick mid-range punch that will cut through just about anything. With a master volume that can be switched in or out of the circuit. This combined with a half-power switch gives you serious versatility.

Soft breakup is where this amp really stands out. The touch sensitivity allows you to go from shimmer to grind with the touch of a pick. This amp fills a room with beautiful three-dimensional complex tones. The Cub II is at home with single or double coil guitars.
