From the reviews
I’ve been to several Guitar Centers around the US and this location is a good one. Great selection of new and acoustic guitars, and various electronics. The staff was friendly and helpful. It is conveniently located on the outskirts of a huge mall and close to dozens of other local shopping venues.
I love this place a lot. I have been here 3 times now and the workers are already familiar with me and what I enjoy playing. They are super friendly and helpful whenever you need anything. The slection of guitars in specific is pretty good maybe about 200 acoustic and 200 electric a few a few of which are used.
I've been a loyal customer of Guitar Center for years and have always been impressed with their exceptional service and wide selection of musical instruments and accessories. Whether I'm searching for a new guitar, drums, or a simple set of picks, Guitar Center has always come through.
I purchased a used 2015 Gibson Les Paul Double Cut P90 that was advertised on their website.

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.
