From the reviews
Tyler, the store manager, is incredible! He definitely put me first. I walked in with my guitar, he helped me replace the strings, find an amp and get completely set up to Rock N Roll. I love this place. Calvin helped me look at some guitars as well, and he was very kind and helpful.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Great Experience Every Time Really enjoy my experiences at the Orem Guitar Center. The staff are friendly, approachable, and genuinely knowledgeable about the gear they sell.
I'm a full time performing musician. The problem is I know nothing about sound equipment. Raven and Averi were so helpful! Raven walked me through what I would need based on what gigs I perform. I got everything I needed! And it was a really good price too!
Wonderful place of happiness and joy just absolutely abounding in many many many different types of and styles of guitars and they can teach you how to play music and you can become the absolute best like Paul McCartney does he play a guitar?
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.
