From the reviews
Guitar Center of Glendora is great place for kids and adults! Large selection of music instruments and beyond. Friendly personal. Terrific music teachers! Love their quarterly performances - all students are welcome to share the love to music and be proud of their achievements.
I have no real complaints about customer service and I repair my own gear, so I’ve nothing to say about that. The checkout process is classically guitar shop slow. Service is classically marginal guitar shop service. It’s the same everywhere.
I went to check out some Fender bass guitars and Ron turned me on to a new RECHARGABLE Fender FLASH clip on tuner. The display is very visible and accurate and like I mentioned, it's rechargable. Anyone who is a musician will know the fustration of a battery going dead at a gig.
Fantastic staff on top of every chord of assistance, very well tuned and not just to a job but to a concert and concerto with their expertise dedication to customer service !!!! Loved it and will be picking up an Ovation 12 string electric acoustic guitar. Great pic and fit like a glove !!!!
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.
