From the reviews
Good store & awesome customer service (Alex AW took care of me). Anything you could think of related to instruments, music etc. There's also a music academy for lessons. 5 stars.
Guitar Center in Huntsville is a go-to destination for musicians of all levels. Whether you are a beginner shopping for your first instrument or an experienced player looking to upgrade gear, the selection is broad and well organized.
I love this place, been going here for (my 7yr old son's) equipment and lessons. He loves this place, the people and being allowed to come here to grow his love for music. They let him try everything and to me that's important.
One of the best guitar center experiences I had! I ordered a used high end fender from this store (online) and the guitar arrived very well packed and in the condition described.
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.
