From the reviews
Kind, considerate, and not overbearing staff. We were searching for a guitar for a beginner, and no one in our crew had any knowledge. The manager spoke with us first and informed us they were out of stock of the top two guitars they recommend but said we are welcome to look at what is available and one of his staff…
Big thanks to Kyle and the team at Guitar Center Denton for their exceptional customer service. I drove quite a distance to purchase a used bass listed online, only to find it had just sold. Kyle and his team showed incredible empathy and concern, helping me choose another instrument that I’m even happier with.
Big thanks to Kyle at Guitar Center for assisting me in a major purchase over the phone! I bought a used Marshall 1960BX 4x12 speaker cabinet from this location and had it shipped to Guitar Center Lawndale, CA.
I have had such great customer service here. Thank you Jake for helping with the piano rental. And I appreciate when a store is busy and they see you need help and they ask if you need something and then let you know there are a couple of people ahead of you but they will get to you soon. And they always do.
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.
