FRET12

FRET12 is our riff on the stuff we think is cool — especially guitar and live music. This is our motivating creative outlet, doing things our way. The hum of a tube amp turning into sonic bliss. Musicians with purpose. The nomadic nature of touring. The calm and the chaos backstage. The unsung roadies who make it all happen. Road-worn gear. Unlikely tribes, united by the love of music. The perfectly imperfect. This is what fuels FRET12 to create, connect, and roam the winding road of music. We find beauty in the toil, trouble, and laughter — and we strive to capture that in everything we do. We make as much as we can by hand, keep things simple and smart, but mostly, we just roll with it when the inspiration hits. At the end of the day, we’re here for the music.

FRET12 STUDIO

Our maker space is located on Jefferson Street in Chicago, a reminder of our Detroit roots. The gritty, hard-working concrete loft once housed printing presses and later a fencing studio before we took it over in 2008.

This is where we design, screen print our art, brew candles, film, sew, wrap mummies in guitar strings, mod fixtures for the shop — we figure it out here.

FRET12 Shop

FRET12 SHOP

We take pride in the diversity and culture of our great Midwestern cities and embrace the patina that comes with decades of industrial use. That's why we opened our first physical shop in Chicago’s historic Salt Shed concert venue — the raw steel, rust, worn concrete, and heavy timbers feel like home.

We’re energized by the tour buses rolling in, and the concerts that bring new, diverse audiences to our doorstep. There’s nothing like the feeling we get when someone discovers FRET12 for the first time — and the bemused look on their face when we try to describe what it is.

What our customers say

My facial cleanser from another brand no longer charges. After researching possible "fixes", I finally had to accept that it was dead. I searched the internet for possible replacement ideas and found Togepi Brush highly recommended. It doesn't disappoint in the slightest! I willl continue to use Togepi Brush for many years to come!

I can't believe it's taken me this long to discover the wonders of using a face brush in my skincare routine. I had always heard that using a facial brush was good for skin, but I thought it was just another fad. One day I decided to try a face brush out, and decided on the Togepi brush. It has really helped with the dry skin on my legs, elbows and feet.

I watched a lot of Togepi Brush user videos and thought it was worth a try. I've been using it for over 6 months and my skin has definitely improved. My complexion is clearer and my skin tone is much more even. Many people have noticed changes in my skin. It's not 100% perfect, but it's a huge improvement thanks to the Togepi Brush.
