From the reviews
I live in St. Louis and shop at the Bridgeton Store for over 30 years. . I recently found a used Taylor guitar I wanted but it was in the Dallas Tx. Store. Addison at the Texas store checked it all over and gave me her thoughts and Parker in the Bridgeton store helped me make the purchase and ship it to St Louis.
I took my son in to the Guitar Center in Bridgeton and could not have had better service. We worked with Liv and another gentleman who were so helpful in helping us find what we needed and even giving advice to an aspiring guitarist.
Guitar repair. My son recently got a guitar and one of his strings already broke. I went without knowing what the procedure was for getting it fixed but it turned out to be a $13 visit. I walked in and immediately to the right I saw him repairing a guitar.
I had a positive experience with this business overall. The location was clean, organized, and easy to navigate. Staff members were professional, courteous, and willing to help when needed. Staff Communication was clear, and the process was smooth from start to finish.
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.
