From the reviews

I had the absolute best experience working with Zach Dennison at Guitar Center in Brentwood. He helped me with my purchase of both a Rickenbacker and a Hofner, and his customer service was beyond top-notch. Zach took his time with us, answered every question we had, and made the whole process easy and enjoyable.

★★★★★ — Tim, Nov 2025

Got this beauty for an amazing price. Robert took care of all the details over the phone and had it waiting for me when I arrived. I've shopped other music stores and even other Guitar Center locations and didn't receive this level of service and attention. Very appreciated.

★★★★★ — Ronnie, Mar 2024

Couldn't give this location below 4 stars because of the inventory and resources available. I couldn't give a 5-star rating because the service was a 2 at best. Workers acted like I was irking them as soon as I walked in the door. (Sure hope it wasn't because I was wrapped in Blvck skin.

★★★★☆ — Heather, Jul 2022

Me and my son frequent this guitar center and are always glad to have Zach there to help us. He provides valuable knowledge of the products and knows how to help put it all together for us to be able to afford! Love Guitar center and glad you guys have Zach. Thanks again Zach and Guitar Center!!

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.
