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.

Ernie Ball Burly Slinky 2226 Guitar Strings 11-52

£8.99

The Ernie Ball standard. This Ernie Ball Burly Slinky 2226 Nickel Guitar String Set was designed for those who like thicker, heavier strings on their guitar. As some of the most popular, high quality strings in the world, Ernie Balls have a stellar reputation amongst musicians around the world. Having been used by artists ranging from Steve Vai to Paul McCartney, they are sure to give you every bit of tonal quality you need.

Being a thicker gauge than the average set of strings, these are designed for those who like a bit more tension when they play. They have a strong bass response, making your chords sound thicker, and they will also give your lead lines plenty of sustain. Given that they remain tight for lower tunings, you'll always produce a crisp, articulate response when you’re playing the lower strings. Being nickel plated, they will both feel comfortable and transfer your string vibrations very effectively. They have that unmistakable, classic Slinky feel which will bring you the ult9omate sonic satisfaction.
