From the reviews
Found a great deal on a small amp. I am not a musician but there is a wide wage range instruments for all levels. I found a book with a recorder for kids. They have lessons here as well !
Decided on an adventure today. A friend told me to go to Guitar Center. Why not. It was a nice store well appointed with all sorts of goodies from guitars drums keyboards and their own brand of piano that sounded nice. Audio equipment Mike's and more. It was a nice adventure.
Fantastic experience, walked in without being hounded, found what I needed, then got helping finding a couple other things. Have been a regular customer for over a decade, and will continue to purchase from Guitar Center.
Best experience I've ever had at a Guitar Center. The staff were very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. I will definitely be back!
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.
