“I can’t describe how much I appreciate the work that Lucas and Al do at Beardsell. This is the go-to shop in Winnipeg if you are looking for high quality work with transparency and quick turnaround. Lucas recently rescued a guitar that I had been waiting for months to get over to them. It took a week to transform a totally unplayable instrument that had been abandoned for decades into a true joy. The setups are top notch and finish on repairs are flawless. Also, if you are looking for a custom guitar to be built, I’ve played a few coming out the shop and there is clearly a very strong emphasis on build quality and using great tonewood combinations. This is what a guitar shop should be.”
