Backline closed the shop on Van Ness and stole my amp in the process. Anyone else lose their equipment to these crooks?
This store literally never opens, even during their 6 business hours on Tuesday through Friday. I've tried calling multiple times and the one time I was able to call, they closed by the time I got there (within 25 minutes) which was between their store hours of 12pm-6pm. If anyone knows any other places that does guitar repairs, go there instead.
These guys definitely do great repair work. Dave Cole is an amp tech extrordinaire and has never failed me. He's been at it for many years and really knows his stuff. Mike Newton is the Mr. Wizard of the acoustic world, immensely knowledgeable of the history and technology of the instruments and does a terrific work. I trust them both with my finest goodies (some of which are pretty rare) and they've always done excellent work. I give them an unqualified recommendation.

They are only open 3 days a week though.
Good at what they do. TERRIBLE business people (non committed open hours-despite posted hours, return calls, whatever attitude, etc)- that's why they closed down!
