From the reviews
While shopping for a loudspeaker system at guitar center I was at first just walking around through the speakers shopping by myself. I was in approached by a salesperson who later told me his name was Eddie. I asked him if he was a competent guy when it came to loudspeakers to which he replied yes.
I have been buying at G.C. Kendall for a while now and there's a very friendly staff at the store. Very knowledgeable. Last time I got my first Gibson. One of the pickups is tilted forward so I have to go again and I'm pretty sure they can fix it in a minute. I highly recommend visiting this store.
Yesterday I went to this Guitar Center to buy a used Telecaster that was available on the website. I was assisted by the manager, Neno, and he reassured me about the purchase.
Walked in today to just browse around and for the first time in a while I was acknowledged by an employee who was working the counter. He offered me a pick while I was looking around and we even chatted about some of the guitars in stock.
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.
