Testimonials

On 11/10/2025 London Elgin had this to say:
This guitar shop is THE best Iv ever been in. Oak (store employee) was super welcoming and had a very cool and relaxed vibe. Oak helped us out and definitely deserves a raise😂 Super cool shop, They have a lot of unique Taylor acoustics that I’ve never seen before, they also have a lot of EV amps and PRS electrics. They have a big selection of unique picks and strings, will definitely be back everytime I pass through town.
