Twin Town a good selection of Taylor, Martin, and Seagull models and a new very nice acoustic room if you go in the off hours. I wish they carried Eastman at Twin Town.

Do consider Willie's, though. They take in trades and in the acoustic room, you never know what you will find. I went in a few years ago to look at a Larivee P-09 parlor guitar they had listed on their web site. They also listed a Huss & Dalton 00 12 fret (not the SP with the slotted headstock), and their site said it has a 1 11/16" nut. I was reasonably sure that wasn't right, so I took a look at it too.
It turned out that I didn't care at all for the neck on the Larivee, but the Huss & Dalton has a 1 7/8" nut with a 2 5/16" saddle string spacing - essentially a steel string version of a classical guitar - just what I was looking for. It was used, so I didn't have to pay new price for it. In short, you never know what you will find, but everything they have is decent or better quality. Depending on what you want to see and how much time you have, I would consider Willie's after some of the other shops already recommended because those recommendations are spot on. As an aside, the Guitar Center in Maple Grove has the best selection of higher end Taylors among the Guitar Centers around town, if that is what you are interested in. I can't say it is better than Twin Town because I have not been there in a while. Twin Town's site looks quite promising, so I would certainly take the recommendations from the other posters here. I plan to get in there again sometime soon. All these shops are great to deal with. Tony

Good to know on Maple Grove! Brother lives in Lake Elmo and I have 4 hrs to kill while he teaches lessons. I usually hit Woodbury area etc. Haven’t been to Willies so maybe after he’s done later afternoon. Thanks!

Last time I was there, there were more archtops's than acoustics. But they've been adding more all the time. You can drool over one or two of Tim Reede's beauties too!

I was there a couple of weeks ago and gave the e20p and e10p (sunburst) a whirl. The e10p was excellent!

Twin town was great. Paul was super helpful and kind. Enjoyed trying many Grand Pacifics I haven’t had the opportunity to test drive before. A Martin Authentic D28 1937 was gorgeous. They had a Taylor Custom GS Cocobolo that really Turned my head! A visit to Edina GC was meh, more because of player noise. A good outing and hope to return with something when ready.
