Beautiful shop and very helpful owners!
I don't think enough people realize a master guitar builder, probably one of the best in the world works and lives right here in Vancouver. If your mental picture is a custom Les Paul with five pickups and a finish that includes candy red paint with l e d lights , better cancel those plans to drop by the workshop..:. We live in an era where computer controlled machines turn out rather good Chinese built guitars at reasonable prices available everywhere. They will put anybody's name, famous or not so famous on the headstock and ship them tomorrow afternoon.. God bless them all. Mr Burghardt has been at his workbench up to his socks in wood shavings for over fifty years now. He will tell you that he has recently became able to make anything with his hands that his eyes can see. Think about that when you are in a six week boat building class or are an apprentice mechanic who will earn a full -on ticket in two more years. If you, like me, are spellbound by the sound of certain instruments like guitars or cello or a bass, treat yourself to a taste of the tiny art community of luthiers and Canada's resident guitar Zen Master, Gera Burghardt. I am told that in heaven the Angels all play Geza's axes when they jam on Saturday night, , Saint Peter won't let anybody on stage, Django, Paco, Chet, or B.B.with anything else. Someday with luck, I will be at the table with a few friends, up close to the stage. Geza's Burghardt stringed instruments are available on Granville Island
