From the reviews
Cool place to check out any type of instruments, best thing you get to fully try them out and have a jam session or just play around to feel your groove. Friendly staff who knows their stuff and will help and guide you! Orderd Manchester Orchestra Vinyl Christmas Songs, and had it shipped to store.
I have purchased three guitars this past year at Guitar Center #488 in Oak Ridge North,Texas. If you are located near The Woodlands,then this is where you should go for a wide selection and excellent service and price matching to boot. Shout out to Jay and Christian,both have provided excellent service on my purchases.
Store is clean and well organized! The staff here always go out of their way to help and are very personable! I wish guitar center would staff the building better because sometimes it can be hard to get help due to the imbalance of workers/customers. Hands down best guitar center I’ve ever been to!
The staff at this location are always so helpful and they know what they are talking about. They greet you when you walk in and walk around to check on you! We love this store
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.
