Eclipse Music has been a fixture in West St Paul’s music community for over 50 years, originally founded by a Marine Corps veteran who started his musical journey with Minneapolis’s legendary Scholar coffeehouse. Today, the shop continues that legacy of community commitment and musical expertise.

The store has built a solid reputation for vintage guitar work, drawing players from across the Twin Cities metro who need specialized care for their classic instruments. Their guitar tech services handle everything from routine setups and fretwork to more complex restoration projects that require a luthier’s touch. Musicians trust Eclipse Music with their instrument repair needs, particularly when dealing with older guitars that demand period-appropriate techniques and an understanding of vintage construction methods.

Beyond their repair capabilities, Eclipse Music has become known for their extensive selection of effects pedals from boutique and established brands, G&L guitars and basses, and pro audio equipment from Great River Electronics. The shop’s deep roots in Minnesota’s music scene and commitment to the local community have made it more than just a guitar repair destination‚it’s become a gathering place for players who value craftsmanship and connection.
