From the reviews
Went here with my friend. He's the guitar player, I'm the photographer. Everyone knows their stuff. Great staff.
Great store in the Rivergate Mall. Fantastic selection of guitars, amps, and guitar related equipment. They sell other instruments as well, I saw them unboxing a drum kit even though I was focused on a new amp. They also offer lessons and the customer service is excellent.
Guitar Center is a consistent source for gig equipment and strings. The employees are knowledgeable and friendly. They have access too other stocked stores new and pre-owned with a reasonable return policy.
Bought a brand new limited edition item only to open it and find it covered in scratches, missing the foam, and missing cables inside because it was sold as either a used-return or a floor model.
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.
