Guitar Rodeo

Being a music lover as well as a Longfellow resident, I am continually surprised at all the independent artists and craftspeople doing business in our neighborhood. Just a few blocks from my house is the Guitar Rodeo, where they build, sell & repair custom acoustic guitars. As the world's largest independent Taylor guitar dealer, they sell most of the guitars through their website, but you can stop in their showroom at 4151 Minnehaha Ave and see for yourself these beautiful instruments. Showroom hours: Mon-Fri 10 am-5 pm; Sat 11 am-3 pm. 612-767-2800.
