From the reviews
Guitar center helped me get more information about this awesome Yamaha acoustic I have. The staff is very helpful. Thank you again team
My son and I had an outstanding experience with TJ at the Taylorsville/Salt Lake City Guitar Center! TJ provided exceptional customer service and made it easy and enjoyable to select a guitar for his high school graduation present.
We have enjoyed our experience at Guitar Center in Taylorsville! They spent a lot of time with us letting my daughter try out multiple guitars as she had just started lessons. They were super helpful and gave us some good tips! Our guitar ended up having a defect and they definitely helped take care of us!
i haven't been to guitar center for many years. i loved the staff and their professionalism and passion. i was able to get work done on my new guitar. i did leave something i bought at the store and im from out of town. other then that it was super pleasant seeing kids and teens pkaying guitar, drums.
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.
