Serving North Alabama's Stringed Instrument Needs Since 1979! Having started in a tiny storefront in historic Five Points, The Fret Shop has grown into one of the largest dealers of stringed musical instruments in North Alabama. We carry a wide selection of musical instruments, and our friendly and knowledgeable staff can help you find the guitar, bass, violin, banjo or mandolin that's right for y

ou. We also carry several lines of amplifiers, strings, effects, stands, microphones, PA systems and books. Our huge inventory includes brands like Fender, Taylor, Alvarez, Ibanez, Austin, Oscar Schmidt, Mackie, G&L, Roland, Ampeg, Crate, Tech 21, Boss, Eastman, Seagull, Gretsch, Shure, Rudolph Doetsch and Ivan Dunov. We take great pride in offering superior service -- both before and after the sale -- at the lowest possible prices.

Music education is a big part of our ecosystem, which is why we’re co-hosting a monthlong school instrument drive in partnership with Huntsville City Schools, Microwave Dave Music Education Foundation and Maitland Arts Initiative. 🎷🎺

If you have an instrument (think guitar, drums, your old high school tuba) sitting around gathering dust, donate it to a student in need by visiting the The Fret Shop, Inc. or Maitland Conservatory.

Backing up these two energetic vocalists will be Annie’s husband, rockabilly guitar superstar Danny B. Harvey of The Rockats, Swing Cats, The 69 Cats and more!
