From the reviews
Great local music store. Had a great experience trading in a vintage instrument for some new DJ gear. I’ve also had instruments shipped to the store for pickup a couple times. The guys were having fun at work and you could tell.
Every time I have been to guitar center they have been helpful and try there best to make sure my questions are answered. The only issue I would have is that this place is one of the smallest guitar centers . They could definitely use more room.
I had an outstanding experience at Guitar Center thanks to Nathan Hults. From the moment I started explaining my goals for my entertainment business, Nathan really took the time to listen and understand exactly what I needed.
The last two times I was in this guitar center. I received exceptional care and an abundance of valuable information. There’s an older gentleman there that was exceptionally helpful about a month ago, so I decided to go back in and today I talked to an exceptionally knowledgeable manager. I believe his name was Summer.
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.
