I’ve been frequenting Birmingham-area music shops for about fifteen years now and Highland has become my go-to. Terrific place to buy music gear, particularly guitar-related stuff. Acoustics, electrics, strings, straps, picks, effects pedals, amps, everything. They also have electric basses, bass amps, PA gear, a selection of TAB and sheet music, and parts for guitars and basses. Also, it’s the only local place I know of that has a selection of vintage instruments and amps. Really cool stuff. This is the only place that I take my guitars and amps to for repair. Though I’ve never taken lessons here and I can’t speak for all of the teachers, I do know one them and I’ve seen him teach. He’s thoughtful and patient with his beginners, and he’s a heck of a player. The thing I like the most about this place is that most of the time you’ll be dealing directly with the owner. This is not a chain stores where you end up talking to someone who hasn’t got a clue about gear. The staff here have decades of combined experience and know their stuff.

Great local music shop specializing in pre-owned instruments. Go get your strings changed, amps repaired by Sam of SamAmp, guitars set up by Don and Harold, and take lessons from some of the city’s best musicians. Prices are always fair and trading is an option if you’ve got something they like. Inventory constantly changing and they’ve been around forever. Go check them out!
