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.

Maton Masterbuilt Classic

£4,699.00

The Maton Classic is a continuation of the former CS Classic model. The guitar has been revoiced to take full advantage of the tonal properties of European Spruce and Indian Rosewood.
The tone is sophisticated, rich and clear delivering the sounds we’ve come to expect from an elite instrument comprising these classic woods. The mahogany neck is shaped perfectly to provide an effortless playing experience, and the bound Ebony fretboard adds to the luxurious feel of this guitar.
The body and fingerboard are bound in white, with classic herringbone inner binding and rosette. The guitar is finished in clear gloss, which highlights the natural beauty of these quality materials.
As with all Masterbuilt models the bracing matches the soundboard material and each soundboard is thicknessed, shaped and scalloped to achieve the tonal and mechanical responses we are looking for with this instrument.
