From the reviews
I was thinking about getting a new guitar and was about to leave when the manager came over and asked what I was looking for. Long story short, Philip was incredibly helpful and worked out a great deal for me on a used EC-1000T. He has great people skills, was super nice, and very down to earth. No pressure at all.
Stopped by today to buy a few items and browse some guitars. I did not expect to find a Flying V!!! Phillip and the sales team (Jay) are super helpful and are there to answer any questions that you may have. On top of that they have an amazing tech, I believe his name was Josh (big metal dude 🤘). Thanks guys!!
This is one of my favorite stores to visit, the staff is always very helpful and kind! Today especially I had an issue with an online order, and Phil who has helped me many times. Took time today to help me figure out the issue and make sure everything was working before I left. I always get great service here!
I just started playing guitar very recently. Having alot questions Phillip answered every single one! He was very knowledgeable and took his time and patience with me. He is the ambassador of customer service and because of him I am a life long customer. Thank You and please make sure he gets acknowledged.
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.
