From the reviews
I feel very lucky to have found drum lessons with Samuel at The Guitar Center located in Hialeah. Samuel carries himself in a professional, positive, energetic, patient, and charismatic manner which helps me to absorb the drum lessons thought.
My son needed to have the nut on his guitar repaired. We were fortunate to be assisted by Mr. Justin Bayles, who performed the repair quickly and precisely. The service was excellent: cordial and efficient. We also really appreciated the variety and quality of the products in the store.
The Hialeah location is very helpful. You can tell that everyone who works there is passionate about music and they are more than happy to share their knowledge with you.
Amazing service and knowledgeable staff. The Cuban gentleman, whose name I've forgotten, is great at his job. I've been in the store about three times and asked questions, and he has all the answers. Very patient with all the customers. If you're looking for products and need help, this is the place.
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.
