From the reviews
This guitar center is nice and people are awesome. Jake was a very helpful person who helped me out in my guitar that i ordered. Aaron was awesome who is the guitar tec, set up my acoustic nice. Have some great guitars in stock most of time.
This is the best Guitar Center I've ever been to. The selection is comprehensive, with a wide range of gear, from budget to high end. Caleb is a rockstar - he helped me for over an hour, tinkering with different speakers to find the right combo, answered all my questions about drum parts, and even helped me haul my…
I’ve been visiting the stores for about a year and a half, which is also around the time I started learning. The staff is always happy to help you learn, and the management is truly wonderful. I’m still asking questions, but I feel more confident because I know I can count on the staff to always assist me.
First time visiting Guitar Center, and it was a solid experience from the moment I walked in. As soon as I entered, I was greeted by the gentleman behind the counter, which set the tone right away. He was welcoming, professional, and actually took the time to help instead of just pointing me in a direction.
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.
