Biggest guitar store in Louisiana! Huge. Big. Large. Really big! Gigantic. Did I mention it has everything you need for a guitar.
In my search for the perfect used J200 model Acoustic guitar I landed online on a used Inspired by Gibson. I am in Kentucky so I called and spoke with Randon who was able to locate the guitar and even sent more pictures of it being that it was used. I just placed my order and im so excited.
I traded in my orange for a katana. It's a year old but barely touched, and the cash difference was less than what I payed for. Was also helped by a new guy so it took some time and I was running late back to work. The other guy who was guiding him was knowledgeable though, and helped expedite the process.
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.
