Vancouver's Rufus Guitar Shop hosted iconic rocker and guitarist Jack White this past weekend.

Fans of the legendary guitarist and rock star Jack White may have seen him play two nights in Vancouver, but a few lucky local shop employees got to meet the man.

White and his band played a pair of shows at the Commodore Ballroom on May 22 and 23. Since he was in town, he stopped by Rufus Guitar Shop on Commercial Drive, along with some of Big Sugar, the Canadian band opening up on the second night.

At the shop, the group snapped a photo, which the store shared on social media.

"Enjoy the Davoli and the Ace Tone Space Echo!" reads a social media post from Rufus Guitar Shop.

In a comment on Instagram, the shop confirmed White bought a guitar while in the shop; there's a brand of guitars called Davoli. Ace Tone was a Japanese company from the 1960s and 70s that made a variety of gear, from effects pedals to drum machines.

White didn't stay long in Vancouver; his No Name Tour had one more date after his shows here, on May 24 in Oregon.
