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.

Exceptional tone quality

The Epiphone 1963 Les Paul SG Custom is outfitted with three USA Gibson Custombucker pickups, renowned for their ability to replicate the warm, deep tones characteristic of vintage Gibson guitars. These pickups, combined with high-quality CTS potentiometers and Mallory capacitors, offer a rich sound palette that ranges from crisp highs to powerful lows, making it suitable for a variety of musical genres and playing styles.

Precision vibrato control

The inclusion of the Maestro Vibrola tailpiece on this guitar allows players to add subtle vibrato effects with remarkable precision. This feature not only enhances the guitar's visual appeal but also provides musicians with the ability to infuse their playing with expressive, custom vibrato accents without compromising tuning stability.

Classic aesthetics and build quality

This model boasts a Vintage Original Sheen (VOS) Classic White finish complemented by gold hardware, capturing the essence of its 1963 predecessor. The body is crafted from solid mahogany, known for its durability and excellent resonance, and features a one-piece mahogany neck with a long neck tenon for enhanced sustain and stability. The bound ebony fretboard and mother-of-pearl inlays further accentuate its luxurious appearance.

Comfortable playability

The SlimTaper neck profile is designed for comfort and speed, facilitating smooth transitions along the fretboard. This ergonomic design is particularly beneficial for players who engage in lengthy sessions or complex playing techniques. Additionally, the guitar’s overall balance and manageable weight ensure that it sits comfortably against the body, allowing for an effortless playing experience.
