From the reviews
My son takes 30 min weekly guitar lessons at this location. He's on his second teacher and has shown great improvement. He started with no knowledge and now is really starting to sound like he knows what he is doing.
I had an amazing experience at Guitar Center yesterday! I went in to pick up a new cord for my guitar, and the guy working behind the counter (he was wearing glasses) went above and beyond. Not only did he help me find the right cord, but he also fixed my old one and even tuned my guitar for me.
I must say I have been shopping at Guitar center for years. I almost gave up i went out of my way passing the Willowbrook store to go to Katy. I arrived at the store and Sarah was super helpful with my purchase. The best customer service that I have ever had at any guitar center.
This place was great it not only had guitars but supplies for guitar. It also had keyboards and drums as well as woodwind instrument,however the amount of woodwinds are very small. You can also rent instruments, record and take guitar lessons and keyboards lessons
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.
