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.

Epiphone Les Paul Custom Ebony

£649.00

Construction

Truly accurate to vintage design, the Custom consists of a classic mahogany body and neck combination with five-ply body binding and a sleek gloss finish. Any guitarist’s dream.

The neck is shaped into a Gibson original Slim Taper – styled after the late ‘50s performance update and known for its flatter pattern. Paired with the 12” fingerboard radius and medium jumbo frets, the Custom feels like a delight to play. Hardware specs include all-gold LockTone ABR bridge and Grover 18:1 ratio tuners.

Sound

The Les Paul Custom houses ProBucker-2 and 3 humbuckers inspired by legendary PAF pickups. These are characterised by the alnico low output and sweet sustain. The bridge ProBucker-3 is slightly overwound for extra attack and sounds great through high gain, while its neck counterpart takes a softer touch.
