From the reviews
Thoroughly enjoyed my visit at this location. The store was clean and organized. The staff was absolutely amazing. Super friendly, warm, and inviting. I had a show in Myrtle Beach and needed some time tightening up some tracks. Not only did they allow me to play but even told me thank you for jamming as I left.
Went to the north myrtle beach location on December 3rd to look for a guitar for my husband. I was super nervous and almost didn't go, I even sat outside for a few minutes debating to go in because I knew absolutely nothing about guitars and can't even name brands and thought I was gonna look stupid but I'm glad I did!
My husband and I always go into guitar centers when we are traveling. This was a great experience. The staff was awesome. My husband plays drums. We asked if he was being to loud and they assured us he was not. They have a huge selection of demo kits on the floor. The store was clean and organized.
Very friendly, knowledgeable staff. Not pushy and definitely have a passion for guitars and players. I bought a nice Fender acoustic guitar with their help!
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.
