I have used the services of this Studio twice and am very pleased with the talent and professionalism of owner Donnie Gullett! Great experience and awesome job engineering/ mixing on recordings!!!
This is a music store that is run by musicians for musicians and I highly recommend it. A friendly, knowledgeable staff that is always ready to help you . Great selection of musical instruments and !
The service was outstanding here. Nice warm atmosphere with helpful and eager staff make for an enjoyable visit. I will say that if you play a more “classical” instrument, such as a saxophone or trumpet, you probably won’t find much here to satiate your needs. This is mostly a guitar shop, but they also sell things that are not guitars, like keyboards, drum kits, violins, ukuleles, records, misc. music accessories like straps and amps, and they even have a double bass//stand-up bass.
One other thing, I believe that they do have lessons for some of the instruments they sell, but I am not 100% sure.
TL;DR: Whether you’ve got a gig tonight and need some new strings or if you think a pick is just something you put in your hair, you can count on Counts to help you out. If you need a sousaphone mouthpiece, however, you might want to go somewhere else
The perfect place for musicians. Very knowledgeable employees.
Been before years ago but when I went this time to sell, was really low balled and honestly talked out of a sale too. So normally good, but today was a confusing visit to say the least. However, the blonde girl who’s name is didn’t get working was very nice! Would go there just for her customer service again!
Good customer support. Great selection.
Small but friendly and good prices
Seems like some decent prices but very stale service.the blonde at the front desk acts like it hurts her face to smile r speak someone done told her she cute 1 to many times
Over priced needed Reed’s and I can get them 10 for 28-32 dollars any where. Theirs was 10 bucks as. And I had to have them that day. Nope I’m done with them

I like to rent movies from Redbox, for $1.86 you can rent a movie. You can also leave your e-mail they give a receipt when you receive movie and let you know when you bring it back, also give you special deals on movies.
8. Muscle Shoals Record Shop
Address: 100 Montgomery Ave, Sheffield, AL 35660 , Tuscumbia , Alabama , United States
We were welcomed by owner David when pulling up outside in our big yellow company truck last week, and were then given truly royal treatment once inside! Fun place with a nice vibe and good selection of vinyl, CDs, stereo equipment, and other music items to shop and browse through. I’ll look forward to a return visit next time I’m near this area. Check this store out, you’ll like it!
Amazing records,and amazing people
Stumbled across by accident, but glad I did. Great finds and a cool owner. Picked up some cool items, and a music history lesson from the owner.
It was closed that day so I didn’t get to tour it
Store actually opens at 12 and closes at 7. Prices are more than reasonable and they will issue refunds or exchanges if you aren’t happy with your record. Place is a bit cluttered but all places worth going to are. Store may not be as big as other places like Nu Way but definitely has some good stuff!
Owner knows his music and will share a story or two. If you love vinyl LP’s, they have lots of variety. A cool little spot to go check out. Buys and sells!
Came by every day for four days in a row during the open hours and no one has been in the shop. Also called multiple times during different times of the day and no one answered.
I have stopped by this store half a dozen times, always between the hours of noon and 7pm. Despite the lights being on and the signs saying open, despite the hours of operation listed online, I have yet to be able to go inside because it is ALWAYS closed. Looks like it’d be a cool store to dig through, but it seems like I’ll never get the chance. Every time I stop by, I call the store number – it goes straight to voicemail and the mailbox is always full. What a complete bummer.
9. The Sound Shoppe
Address: 1913 Florence Blvd, Florence, AL 35630 , Tuscumbia , Alabama , United States
Excellent Service! Darrell and the crew took my old guitar that had been in storage for several years, cleaned it up, adjusted it and it’s as good, or better than new. Can’t imagine going anywhere else.
This place is always a pleasure. All my instruments have always came back to me better than I brought them in. Darrell is a master at his craft.
Fantastic atmosphere and service. Darrell did a great job working on my guitar, and I’d recommend them to anyone.
Cozy and good range of product
Knowledgeable people
Always a good experience at the Sound Shoppe. Daryl is very good at working on my guitars. I trust him.
I’ve been shopping at this place on and off for over 20 years. Way back when it was in the shopping center on Mall Rd. It’s been a while ago, and I had honestly forgotten about my sub par experience until I stumbled upon this place on the net. I took a Les Paul in to get it set up. The store owner did it, and did a nice job. I then took a less expensive guitar in and paid the same price for a setup done on it. When I got the guitar back (my wife dropped it off and picked it up for me since I have a busy schedule) it was obvious that a full setup wasn’t done on the less expensive guitar (which was still in the $1000 dollar range). All that was done was a string change.
Also, while I’ve always gotten along good with the owner, the owners son is now in the shop almost every time I go in and he is extremely unpleasant to deal with. Acts like it’s a huge pain to have to deal with customers, and isn’t friendly at all. I’ve always gone here because I live in Florence, and it’s closer than other places, but from now on I’ll probably be going across the river. At least they are much more friendly there, and if I pay for a full setup they actually do a full setup.
Very rude customer service. They are also really hard to get on the phone during posted business hours. Take a 10 minute trip to Counts Bro. It’s worth it.
Darrel worked on an old acoustic of mine. I needed a new nut to be made to fit a guitar and he did it for me for a somewhat decent price. I go to change the strings and the piece falls right off the second I take the old strings off. Go get work done somewhere else.
10. Alabama Music
Address: 2450 Mall Rd, Florence, AL 35630 , Tuscumbia , Alabama , United States
They are so helpful and well informed about all music instruments.
Great , affordable repair and stuff
Amazing service! Amazing store! Love everybody in there! Treat you like family and are extremely helpful!!
Good people
Friendly staff
Its a good place to go for your music needs.
$35 for a flute cleaning kit? That says it all.
Researched music stores that “buy” instruments. This store popped up among others. Called store. A woman answered. She was cold & rude. I inquired & she said No. Their competitor also confirmed that they buy instruments.
11. Alabama Music Hall of Fame
Address: 617 US-72 W, Tuscumbia, AL 35674 , Tuscumbia , Alabama , United States
Not only did I see some pretty cool stuff, I got to get aboard Alabama’s tour bus.! Then I got to record my own hit single in their recording studio. It was great fun for sure.
Interesting and informative
It was much smaller than expected. I didn’t know many of the artists.
Very interesting.
Could be better curated, but worth the drive and the money.
This place is like an encyclopedia all the displays are the same basic information in the same block format same. It would help if I could hear a bit of the music on my phone. [ must use headphones ] Did the people in this display know each other and which recording studio did they most often use.?
It’s OKAY but they hold you HOSTAGE to watch some STUPID 7 min film at the beginning and they MAKE you WAIT for a “large enough” group to show it!! Be AWARE that THIS is the M U S I C Hall of Fame and NOT the ARTIST Hall of Fame!!
Not worth the price
12. VINTAGETONE Amplification LLC
Address: 107 N Main St, Tuscumbia, AL 35674 , Tuscumbia , Alabama , United States
Great amp maker. Ordered a brownface Princeton and builder was more than patient with all my questions and tweaks. I read forum reviews and saw photos of his work, and new the price for quality could not be beat. My amp would’ve arrived within the time frame if I hadn’t made so many changes, and this was during Covid with supply limitations to him. I could not be happier. I have several custom amps based on the classics and these are at least as good or better!
Outstanding guy with outstanding skills
Builds exceptional amps and super fast and friendly. Not to mention the pricing. THREE THUMBS UP!!
Highest quality hand made amplifiers from a truly fine person.
I will say it took a VERY long time before I got my amp. Then I will say, it’s some of the most beautiful hand wired work I have ever seen. It’s gorgeous and works flawlessly. I am planning on ordering other models as well as the 5E3 that I started with.
First off they lied about the time frame to
deliver the amp they advertised 12weeks which is a long time considering the size of the company i doubt they build more than one amp kit in two months i waited 17 weeks
Didnt start to build for more than 12 weeks
Poor communication did not use parts advertise did a poor job of amp finish
Had to take amp to a music shop to fix ground noise very bad experience do not use this builder plenty of other good ones. I regret doing bussiness with this guy
In reply i did offer a solution to repair or to return the amp 1/14/2021 he did not respond till I reviewed his poor workmanship
Anouther lie
ask him about delivery times on his ebay ads more lies i have an email from him saying so
If your OK with missed delivery date, endless excuses, and a lack of communication, then this builder is for you!
A prior review touched on this and there were excuses. Look in the online forums and see where this is a recurring theme including the slow repayment on a canceled build. The lack of communication is inexcusable, especially when the money is paid upfront. If you’re going over on a build time, it might be best to be in contact with the buyer and not “ghost” them when they try to contact. They’re over a month past the initial build date and I was asked to be patient but then there were no replies. Not like I asked for anything special in the build. I did ask for pictures to show progress and maybe that’s why the communication stopped. I’m almost sure there will be a response to this review with a list of excuses.
Research this builder. I can’t speak to the quality of the build (although others have). I can only speak to the business practice and concern when the money is paid upfront and the communication stops.
UPDATE: And there you have it… excuses… you’re 5 weeks past the 2 weeks you told me and yet you never contacted me to tell me. This is on top of the months I’ve waited. But you seriously missed the point. You don’t communicate. That’s not a circumstance beyond your control. You never replied to me until (like the other review said) you were reviewed and called out in public. Continue to ruin your “business” with the lack of communication you’re so good at instead of just owning up to the fact that you ghosted me (and others).
I had to contact my credit card company to dispute the charge. Is that your definition of you refunding my money?
After I canceled this amp, I ordered another and already have it. If you can’t meet the deadline you quote, then stop taking orders.
