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.

The iBeam is the most natural-sounding pickup available, capable of capturing even the most subtle nuances of your instrument. Its fidelity is comparable to the best studio microphones, while its excellent sound isolation also makes it an ideal solution for noisy home studios.
The iBeam also offers performance-grade stability, providing great amplified sound without a hint of piezo quack. Weighing less than 1/3oz, the iBeam will not alter the guitar's natural acoustics.
The peel-and-stick installation adheres the pickup to the guitar via a strong but removable adhesive, allowing you to easily test different placements without committing to your first attempt. Included with each iBeam is a placement jig that allows you to install the pickup in minutes and get the ideal placement for the transducer inside the guitar.
Voted "best pickup" for 2002 and 2003 by M.I.P.A., the iBeam is strongly recommended for soloists of all types -- especially jazz, classical and fingerstyle guitarists -- as well as acoustic ensembles playing in intimate settings.
