From the reviews

I LOVE THIS PLACE NOW!!!! I've played the viola as well as the sax. I dropped off a run down guitar on Friday gifted to me for my b-day. I notified Mr. Chris at the counter that my birthday was the following Saturday. He made me feel reassured that he will do the best he can to have it back to me before then.

Needed to get a broken string replaced, and Nash helped me out really quick. Amazing staff and great experience!

★★★★★ — Parker, Mar 2026

Fayetteville NCs Guitar Center is jewel. Compared to larger stores in Atlanta, Dayton, Alexandria VA, etc., this store filled with excellent customer service staff, and the lessons department is run by the wonderful Ms Pat!. The musical and voice instructors understand teaching, and they are superb working musicians.

★★★★★ — E, Aug 2025

At this location, there is a wide range of instruments. As I entered into this facility, I noticed immediately how the staff was rearranging the items as the newer stock came in. This let's me know that they are continually gett8ng equipment in. Their product is on point.

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.
