From the reviews
Jesse R. at Guitar Center was truly wonderful to work with. He was so kind, patient, and genuinely helpful while I was looking at a Les Paul Custom. Even on a busy floor, he took the time to walk me through everything without any pressure.
Jesse is always friendly and compliments my pedal choices. I wish he’d stop doing that… reinforcing my addiction. J/k Great shop with a nice used gear inventory that keeps me coming back to see what’s hanging around. I should really just stay away though. Oh well..
This was the Best Experience Ever 🎁 I Got To Buy Me My Present For My Birthday 🎂 🥳 Thank You To Kurd And Dylan For The Service And Help And For the Help On Getting Me an Adequate Guitar 🎸 😊
Great selection of instruments and gear. Great staff. Great customer service and support. Don't buy online, come here and let them help you find just what you are looking for. I came in looking for my first electric guitar. I was greeted by Michael who asked what brought me in.
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.
