From the reviews
For years I stopped shopping at Guitar Center because it always seemed like nobody wanted to be there with customers. I can say that for the other GC in town but the staff here at the Norman store have been nothing but professional with me in convincing me to part with my money.
I went to this store 5 minutes before closing time wanting to simply purchase an electric Guitar my son wants. Despite how late I arrived, both of the personnel who worked there were patient, courteous, and extremely helpful. They could’ve simply sold me the guitar and sent me on my way….
Jeremy has Platinum Setup two basses for me now, and most recently, this Ibanez BTB that I bought brand new back in 2009. In all these years, It has never shined so bright, felt so perfect, or sounded so great. Thank you Jeremy!
Great place to shop for musical equipment for all sorts of instruments but we primarily shopped for guitar necessities, i.e., strings, patch cords, picks, and a strap.
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.
