What players say again and again
“This Guitar Center location is a good one for several reasons: wide variety of price range in guitar inventory, competitive pricing, knowledgeable employees.”

From the reviews
Dave was very helpful over the phone locating an item I wanted to purchase. He actually went and verified that it was in stock before I took the drive out there. Josh rang me up and they are both excellent employees.
One of the few Guitar Centers I've been to where the staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and won't try to encourage you to absolutely waste your money. I go every few months to trade for other guitars or to just browse to find another guitar to take home.
Everyone was helpful, last 2 times I have gotten the same guy ,I can never remember his name but I know his face. He spent a good bit of time answering every detailed question about my guitar. I wound up with a LP that I love ,not even the most expensive but I love the color and finish. The tone is incredible.
Just wanted to say Josh is awesome! Great customer service! I called yesterday looking for a certain amp for my guitar playing husband for Christmas. Not only was Josh kind and helpful he made sure the gift would be delivered before Christmas! Will definitely continue to go here for all my husbands guitar needs!
Selling or trading gear at Guitar Center
Guitar Center 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 Guitar Center
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Guitar Center. 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.
