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.

The iconic Casino is a classic Epiphone design, possessing timeless style. Originally released in 1961, the instrument was played by renowned musical icons such as Keith Richards, The Beatles, and the esteemed Howlin' Wolf. Since then, the Casino has remained a best-selling archtop electric guitar among modern artists, including Noel Gallagher and The Edge from U2.

Maintaining the classic design elements that make the Casino a rock n' roll legend — namely a large hollowbody construction, an elegant trapeze tailpiece and a punchy P-90 pickup pairing — the Epiphone Casino promises a scintillating sound with superb playability to boot!

Key Features

Hollowbody Design — Yields an open and airy tone, enhanced by the bright-sounding layered Maple tonewoods.
SlimTaper '60s "C" Neck — Lean profile allows for fast playability at all areas of the Mahogany neck.
Indian Laurel Fingerboard — Smooth and silky material, featuring a comfortable 12" radius and 22 frets.
Proprietary PRO P-90 Dogear Pickups — Provide plenty of mid-range chime and possess a subtly-compressed character, like all good P-90s should!
LockTone Bridge — Locking design holds down the strings for hassle-free restringing, and contributes to the impressive sustain of the instrument. This comes paired with the 'Diamond Trapeze' tailpiece synonymous with the Epiphone Casino model.
Graph Tech Nut — Low-friction material minimises unwanted tuning slips.
Included Premium Gig Bag — Protects the Casino against knocks on the road!
