The Two Hands Guitar Company is run by Joel Teel in Fairhope, Alabama. Teel worked for many years in the printing industry before changing careers to build custom boat interiors. He became interested in building acoustic guitars in the mid-1990s, after graduating from The University of Alabama with a degree in Communication. He built a climate controlled guitar making workshop next to his house. Around this time he met Stephen J. Sheriff (who builds his own “Edwinson Guitars”) who became a friend and mentor.
