CITY PAGES BEST OF MINNEAPOLIS 2007
BEST MUSIC STORE (INDEPENDENT)
"Spend too long perusing the formidable selection of guitar effects at this recently expanded local gem, and it would be easy to miss him: Andrew Bell, the easygoing proprietor. He and his employees, many of them gigging musicians, will remember your name and know the value of your trade-in, and can order just about anything you need to create the sound you crave. New Fender guitars, Marshall amps, Zildjian cymbals, and RotoSound guitar strings can all be had at big-box prices. Also available are boutique Moollon effects pedals and the area's best selection of entry-level acoustic guitars. Quality and value are taken seriously here, but even high-income "buy now, play later" hobbyists will find the lack of pretension refreshing. Drum sets, basses and bass amps, speaker cabinets, and vintage electric organs round out the eclectic selection. And it's open seven days a week."
Twin Town Guitars is first and foremost a music store by and for musicians.
Founded in August 1997, and owned by Andrew 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 know how to find solutions for your problems.
Twin Town Guitars carries quality new and used guitars, amps, keyboards, drums and loads of effects. We offer some of the best and most affordable guitar and amplifier repair in Minnesota. We have parts, we special order, and will do just about anything to make your experience a good one.
In 2005, Twin Town tripled in size to offer a more floor space - yes, you can actually walk around the shop now – and also proudly launched a lesson program for all ages and skill levels, which boasts six lesson studios on site and provides a broad range of instruction including voice, guitar, bass, violin, drums and piano.
Located on the corner of Lyndale Avenue South and 34th Street in Minneapolis, picking up where the legendary Benedict's Guitar Shop left off in 1995. There is a strong tradition of good service and cool guitars that continues to this day—Twin Town Guitars is a store by and for musicians!
