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.

Squier Classic Vibe '60s Stratocaster Electric Guitar - 3-Tone Sunburst

£419.00

Body & Neck

Squier have managed to equip their Classic Vibe ‘60s Strat with all the mojo you’d expect while keeping the price point accessible. For the body, they’ve opted for Nato. Not commonly used as a tonewood, it’s resonant and durable, ensuring comfy playability and woody sustain.

For the neck, it’s a C-shape maple construction with a 9.5” radius laurel fingerboard. Laurel is a more affordable alternative to rosewood offering a similar look and natural-feel.

Hardware & Electronics

Expect incredible tone courtesy of a trio of Fender-Designed alnico single-coil pickups. Alnico magnets provide classic twang, perfectly complemented by the treble-friendly Maple neck.

To round it all off with old-school class, Squier add a vintage-style tremolo system, ‘60s-inspired headstock markings, nickel-plated hardware and a slick vintage-tint gloss neck finish. Classic Vibe indeed!
