Twin Town Guitars

Twin Town Guitars is first and foremost a music store by and for musicians.

Founded in August 1997, and owned by Andrew and Carrie Bell, the vision for the shop is simple: Get it done honestly, quickly, correctly, and affordably. The staff is made up of musicians, who are in the studio and on the stage, who know how to play and what to expect, and who just plain want to help you make music.

Nightjar Guitars

Nightjar Guitars crafts custom electric guitars in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Our mission is to connect people to each other and to the earth by responsibly creating instruments with a story to tell. We work with businesses and people who reclaim and salvage wood: from trees felled by disease or human development to architectural salvage like structural beams, barnwood, whiskey barrels, fireplace mantles, gymnasium floors, or bowling alleys. We load our builds with pickups made locally, by hand, by Jesse Revel at Revel Custom Pickups, and we always use old-world, environmentally-friendly techniques like French Polishing and pyrography. All this makes for a truly unique, one-of-a-kind guitar, crafted just for you. When you’re ready to tell your next story in sound, we’ll build you an instrument like no other.
