From the reviews

Update: Killing time and actually found a guitar I liked and bought it. The following still is happening. I've been to this Guitar Center location many times. My current job and position require that I travel extensively and normally visit other Guitar Centers around the nation and have purchased equipment and guitars…

★★★★☆ — Sam, Aug 2018

The Guitar Center is the only place I shop for my gear. As a multi instrumentalist, producer song writer/Artist I spend quite a bit of money here. Helpful and knowledgeable and when it comes to the younger generation getting into music they need a place to go to feel the energy! To see first hand!

★★★★★ — Alex, Feb 2022

Got myfirst electric guitar here. The Husband surprised me with buying a guitar that I could pick out for our anniversary! The sales person was very helpful and gave us the pros and cons of the pieces I was interested in, which really helped in choosing the right one for me.

★★★★★ — Miss, Nov 2021

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.
