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 Yamaha BB234 4-String Bass Guitar is an entry-level instrument from the acclaimed BB Series. With its double-cutaway Alder body and modern, contemporary design, players can rely on this bass to be an excellent starting point for their journey into the world of bass guitars.

Take back control of your bass with stylish chrome appointments in the form of one tone knob and two volume knobs, use these to bring out alternative tonal voicings to suit certain grooves and moods.

With this revamped and redesigned BB234 Yamaha have opted for their Custom V3 Ceramic Pickups. This versatile set naturally produces a crisp, clean sound with clearly defined frequencies that will suit a huge variety of genres and playing styles. These pickups have been designed to be the powerhouse of this workhorse bass guitar and will lap up slap styles, picked riffs or even heavily distorted rumbles.

The chosen neck profile on this model is thinner in diameter when compared to previous models in the BB range. This change will satisfy both old school and modern players by offering improving overall playability and feel. Players will still feel at home too thanks to a traditional Maple construction and Rosewood fingerboard that creates a perfectly balanced sonic platform for any player to learn their trade.

This Yamaha BroadBass 4 String Bass Guitar continues to prove its road ready, workhorse credentials in the hardware department too with reinvented super lightweight open gear tuners which have been designed to feel sturdy and dependable while providing unrivalled tuning integrity. The introduction of these tuners mean that the bass itself feels more balanced which is more in keeping with the smaller, lightweight body.
