What's on the wall

From the reviews
Every staff member I've interacted with has been extremely friendly (ESPECIALLY Fernando! And Bill too!), any questions I had! Just recently got work done on two guitars with Bri(y)an, he was wonderful! (left to right hand conversion), and their prices are great!
We went in for a monitor, but they were having their guitar-a-thon so we left with an amazing PA set up. 2 large speakers, a 12 channel mixer, and a beautiful electric guitar 🎸. Bill listened to our needs and recommended the right equipment, plus we got 48 months 0% interest!
Walked in there looking to purchase a new guitar and less than an hour later I am learning to play. So fun! The service at Guitar Center was top notch and I walked away with a new Yamaha guitar, picks, tuner, stand and case.

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.
