From the reviews
Recently visited Guitar Center in Mesquite 🎸. The store made a very good impression overall. The selection is wide – guitars, amps, accessories, even used instruments 🎶. You can find everything a musician might need, plus take advantage of repair and rental services 🛠️.
We had an excellent experience at Guitar Center in Town East Mesquite thanks to Ely. He was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and very approachable from the moment we walked in. He took the time to listen to what we needed, offered honest recommendations, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free.
Great guitars, I bought one and it ordered just in time, back ordered items are well taken care of and do not take too long.
This store has a good selection of guitars for beginners through advanced. Super helpful staff too!
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.
