Went in hunting for a Les Paul Studio Ebony 50s special edition now that Epi stopped making them. On the floor they had a new stock 2024 Epiphone. I talked to the rep Bobby about how I was on the fence and left.
Best place to buy a musical instrument! I got my Fender acoustic guitar from this place and it was during my first visit to this store. I really like how the staff give their customers, their space to try out the instruments. They only step in when you need assistance or have a query and they are very friendly.
I love Guitar Center. I have been to them all over the country and this one is great. I wish they wouldn't push the extended warranties so hard. They looks like idiot saying an amplifier will for sure fail within 3 years. If I hadn't researched the product in advance and weren't an electronic technician who plays.
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.
