From the reviews
Fantastic place! First of all - super friendly staff, then for sure a big choice of guitars and gear. Was a pleasure to check some things really in detail, placed comfortably. BTW there is an option to have some lessons with teachers right there.
Nick took care of us with an online electric guitar pedal purchase with store pick up. He went above and beyond. Shared his expertise, pleasant, and gave such helpful advice! We enjoyed browsing the store. Lots of instrument accessories, not just guitar stuff.
Kaden is a God amongst men, who truly cares about the customer experience. This is a PHENOMENAL LOCATION that is worth supporting. IMPECCABLE customer service by Kadan & staff. 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌 outta 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌
We stopped in here today for the first time to find a beginner guitar for our son. Dave helped us immediately. He was pleasant, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. We left with a guitar, amp, guitar strap, a stand, and some extra picks. The store has everything you could possibly need.
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.
