From the reviews
My wife and I recently had an amazing experience at Guitar Center and I can confidently say it's the best music store I've ever visited! The sheer variety of musical instruments and accessories they have on display is absolutely mind-blowing. I seen things I didn't even know existed lol!
I really enjoyed my visit to this shop as the selection was huge and it felt like a playground for any musician. I spent quite a while testing out different gear, and the staff were actually super helpful without being pushy at all.
So I needed a guitar shopped the guitars on g heir site screen shot the one I wanted walked in during their busiest times showed an employee and was in and out in 10 minutes......great atmosphere great employees 👍 Jake B M. Was the employee helping us, great job young man representing your company! Awesome experience!
Went to guitar center today not knowing exactly what kind of amp I needed. Mike really hooked me up and helped me find the perfect amp for me. He was incredibly knowledgeable and patient even though I had a lot of questions.
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.
