From the reviews

Just bought my dream guitar here. The guitar guy, Erskine Milton, Was very accommodating and patient with me. I played several very nice guitars and he was all too willing to help me in any way. I love my new 58 VOS Les Paul Custom. Thank you Erskine for taking the time to help me pick my perfect guitar!!!!

★★★★★ — Joe, Feb 2020

WOW.. being from out of state and working in Birmingham I enjoy seeing new music stores and Bailey Brothers in one of the best in the country for sure. An amazing assortment of instruments and amps from the highest level to beginner.. no other place like it.. and the staff is fantastic!! friendly and knowledgeable..

★★★★★ — Bj, Jul 2023

Don’t be fooled by the website, these guys have plenty of Gibson guitars. Plus, the staff is more than happy to help you out, unlike some of the bigger chain stores. Waylon went and found me a J-45 out of the back when I didn’t like the ones on the rack, then gave me a killer deal on it.

★★★★★ — Shaun, Dec 2023

I've spoken with Waylon at Bailey Brothers just about every time I've ever bought a new guitar. Last time I bought an acoustic he worked one on one with me for a couple of hours and we both played the guitars I was interested in until I felt we had the right one for me.
