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.

Designed to work seamlessly with your mouse and keyboard, the FaderPort 8 follows your mouse selection, so the track you want to control is always under your fingertips. Illuminated buttons make it easy to find the function you need. Eight digital scribble strips provide visual feedback. With the FaderPort 8, you’ll enjoy the fastest, most efficient workflow you’ve ever experienced.

The FaderPort 8's unique Session Navigator provides easy access to mission-critical functions for maximum flexibility. Use the large encoder button and companion buttons to edit and mix with greater efficiency and speed. Scroll through your timeline or work measure by measure; zoom in and out on the timeline; adjust track size; navigate and drop markers; even maintain constant control of your main level. Once you start using the Session Navigator, you’ll wonder how you mixed without it.

Customized modes provide deep integration with both Studio One and Ableton Live. Support for both Mackie Control and HUI protocols also makes it fast and easy to control Logic Pro X, Cubase, Pro Tools, and more. No driver installation is necessary; just plug the control surface into a USB port and take command of your mix.
