From the reviews
If you are in to your music, particularly guitar, drums or keyboard this place is great. As a guitar and keyboard player myself, and my wife is a drummer, this place was like a pilgrimage for us. The 1 disappointment was there own t shirt was out of stock ad I wanted to buy a few for myself and friends.
Always enjoy taking my daughter to Guitar Center… she bought her acoustic, electric, and bass from this location and when we need strings changed or any repair, our go to guy Buddy is excellent with us! Always attentive and knows his stuff! Sad thing is he’s only there for a few days out of the week and limited hours..
Last two days I visited the store and was extremely satisfied. I got help by Mr. Sammy Hernandez, Marcus, Dio, and one staff that I forgot his name, but I remember that he is tall, long dark blonde hair and most of the time he's at the front desk. They where all awesome.
Guitar Center always provided a good service for me. I visit store and buy online, I have really good experience buying their used equipment. I would like to recommend Guitar Center. My review still the same but, please don’t let the guitars touch the floor… that hurts
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.
