From the reviews
Brought my 12 string and fender strat for setups and they came out freakin amazing. They look, feel, sound and play fantastic. I think the techs name was Dante and he left my guitars looking brand new and even told me about modding the fender strat which I will definitely be coming back all the way from Odessa for.
Gotta say what I gotta say. #1 the workers are outstanding, personalities, talented, and friendly. #2 the repair technician is amazing repairing, he made my ugh guitar to close to perfection. #3 costumer service is 10/10 #4 the environment is warm and welcoming. Amazing work and teamwork from everyone.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Service from Daniel! I had a great experience at Guitar Center thanks to Daniel! He went above and beyond helping me with a drum set — super knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about music.
I love guitar center, it's probably in my top 10 favorite places to go here in El Paso where I went but I've been into many many guitar centers, I love the fact that you can pick up and play the instruments, that there are always demo sticks available for the drum sets as I am a drummer and the staff here is amazing…
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.
