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.

Parlour Body Shape

The Parlour acoustic body shape is one of the smallest body sizes available. They are ideal for players favouring a more subtle musical style due to their less brash overall sound. The shoulders of a Parlour acoustic are generally more sloped than other body styles, with a much narrower body throughout. This makes these guitars significantly more comfortable and less physically intrusive when playing. This also aids the guitars portability, making it lighter and a lot easier to transport. Parlour guitars have been relied on by many artists and performers since their birth, and peaking in use between the late 19th century and the 1950s. The Parlour is regaining popularity in the present day due to its versatility, portability, and beautiful tonal characteristics.
