What's on the wall
“My son and I went in and picked up an electric guitar, Amp and a keyboard.”

From the reviews
Went in to check out a few guitars, and Tristan was more than helpful getting me set up with an amp and a good tone. Both Connor and Tristan were both incredibly helpful. They deserve a raise
This Guitar Center location is truly fantastic. I have bought and sold many an item here over the years. The environment is warm and welcoming. The staff is great. Super helpful. Not your typical pushy salespeople. They just wanna help you find what you want, or whats best for your situation and budget.
They were the best my first time getting a guitar and they make sure I get want I need and show me everything to keep my guitar perfect this lady was really nice I wish I got her name and the dude at the cashier they had great customer service I wish I had gotten their names but they know who I am so THANK YOU!
Haven’t utilized any of the internal services, but good experiences ordering guitars several times. Nice, friendly staff and plenty of options to try instruments. A good selection and helpful with ordering what they don’t have.
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.
