From the reviews
Marc and the guys at guitar center are awesome to work with!! First, I will say... Do NOT use Guitar Center.com to try and purchase a "new" guitar". If you try out a demo in the store and decide to buy one like it, let the guys know and they will make sure you get the newest model directly from a distribution center.
Robert gave me 100% of his attention on the phone helping me decide on a bass that would meet all my expectations. Once I came into the store, he remembered me by our conversation and again went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed.
Always a pleasure coming here. The staff is exceptional, knowledgeable, and very helpful. The store has always been clean and well organized with a great variety of instruments in every budget. Highly recommended for all your musical needs. They usually have great sales on guitars and equipment.
Great store. All the guys are really knowledgable about guitars and music. Great selection of guitars and gear. Used section is really good. Returns are easy. Lessons are great. Very helpful staff. Love this store. Glad its near me.
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.
