Good day, I have…read moreknown Ed now for over 8 years and not only is he a wonderful guitar tech, Ed is just simply, a wonderful person. Ed has worked on a number of guitars for me...and continues to do so. Ed not only cares about the quality of the time and effort that he puts into his work, he also is very much concerned about how we, as guitarists, feel about the work he has thus performed on our behalf. A real rarity these days! Ovid, a Roman poet once said, "Make the workmanship surpass the materials..." ...Ed most certainly has fulfilled this criterion. "Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of intelligent effort." John Ruskin Sincerely, Dell

Have given this location the benefit of the doubt for a couple years now - it's closer for me, and maybe people are having a bad day or whatever - but Chloe and Drew in particular always come across as bored, unfriendly, and as though they have a million things they'd rather be doing. Would rather drive the forty minutes return to the Langley location, where staff are helpful, knowledgable, and friendly.
