From the reviews
I had a bad experience after HB Woodsongs shipped me a Les Paul and UPS broke the head stock. The guitar was packed perfectly and UPS refused to compensate me saying the packaging was insufficient. This was a total lie. It was in the original hsc and then boxed with extra padding.
Woodsong’s has been a great local spot for me to go to since I moved to Boulder in 2020. They offer great services for college students in terms of short term rentals as well as accessories, which I used for my classes.
I can’t say enough good things about Woodsongs. Their selection is broad and quality, and their staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I am a fairly new guitar player and Julia and Hoyt treated me with such respect: asking questions and wanting to make sure it was just right and that I was happy.
This was my first time visiting HB Woodsongs. The employees working were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. This will be my goto guitar store from now on. It was an awesome experience and I found exactly what I was looking for🤘
Selling or trading gear at HB Woodsongs
HB Woodsongs comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
Lessons at HB Woodsongs
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at HB Woodsongs. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments and rentals on hand for exactly this reason.
