From the reviews
We went tonight to purchase a guitar for my son which is not something that my husband and myself know a ton about. Kyle was so helpful . We just thought if they are in store then they are good to go.
Guitar Centers' prices are on point (with the marketplace), I get good service every time I enter this store. They seem to always be well stocked with a variety of very nice instruments To choose from.
This is our favorite Guitar Center ever! The staff is amazing and always so helpful and kind. They offer music lessons and have a HuGe selection so there is something for everyone. We highly recommend this location for your jammin’ needs!
Great selection but it's busy with lookers. Standard out of the box setups. It's definitely quantity over quality on the sales side. Still, they have great selection at great prices if you can do basic maintenance and set up things yourself.
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.
