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.

Duesenberg Alliance Series Joe Walsh Model - Gold Burst

USED - excellent condition with case and all original documents.

In alliance with Joe Walsh Duesenberg developed an instrument which not only meets Joe’s requirements for tone, looks and playability but which is aimed to also fit the taste of many other guitar players out there. In a career spanning more than 40 years, Walsh has been a member of five successful rock bands: the Eagles, the James Gang, Barnstorm, The Party Boys, and Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band. His guitar lines have helped make the Eagles a name known across the world and in 1977 his lead lines won Hotel California Record of the year at the Grammy's

Take it to the Limit

This guitar has some incredible, unique features. The fret markers spell out Joe's name in morse code, referencing his passion for radio operation, the Tibetan Knot on the top between both pickups is a symbol of very personal meaning to Joe which he also carries as a tattoo and, being a serious guitarhead himself, Joe likes to mess around with the hardware of his guitars, often resulting in weird hardware finish mixes, so for this reason the hardware of the Alliance Joe Walsh is a mix of nickel and gold. Check out the gold radiator grill tail piece.

American Style, German Made

This guitar features a thin body profile measuring only 3.5cm/1.37, a regular Duesenberg mid D profile Neck and medium Jumbo frets. A Duesenberg Little Toaster pickup delivers transparent treble tone in the bridge position and the state-of-the-art noise-cancelling Duesenberg SingleTwin Singlecoil gives clear classic neck sounds in any situation. You can dial in some seriously amazing tones with this set of pickups, The Eagles use rich, deep sounds created by multiple guitars palying seperate lines yet each one has to sound unique and amazing. This guitar doesn't dissapoint when you need that extra level of depth and toanl variety.
