The shop
on East Hastings.
Selling new, used & vintage guitars since 1989.
Westcoast Guitars is a 4.9-star (291 reviews) new, used & vintage guitar shop and repair bench in East Village, Vancouver. This page is an unsolicited draft web design from X9 Lab Media — a documentary concept. Photos and any prices are placeholders; the rating and 1989 heritage shown are the shop's own.
Since 1989, a guitar at Westcoast Guitars has changed hands the same way it always has: someone takes it down off the wall, finds a quiet corner, and plays it until they know. New, used or vintage, the test is the same — does it feel like yours yet.
The shop has settled into East Village now, on East Hastings, with the same idea it opened with. A wall of instruments worth playing in person. A repair bench in the same room, so a setup or a fret dress is a conversation, not a mail-away. And, more recently, a coffee bar in the corner — because the best way to choose a guitar is slowly.
Four-point-nine stars across two hundred and ninety-one reviews is not a marketing line — it's three and a half decades of players who came in for one thing and left with the right thing. This page is our unsolicited proposal for what their shop could look like online.
Every string, brought to pitch.
New, used & vintage guitars
A rotating wall of acoustics, electrics and basses — current models, well-kept used pieces, and the older finds worth coming in for.
Repairs & setups
In-store setup, intonation, fret work, electronics and structural repair — the same room, the same people who sold you the guitar.
Amps, pedals & gear
Amplifiers, effects, strings, picks and the accessories that round out the sound.
Trade-ins & consignment
Trade toward your next instrument, or let us help the right one find a new player.
The Marley Coffee Bar
In the corner of the shop: order a coffee, take a guitar down, and decide in no hurry. It's part of the room, and part of the reason people stay.
