From the reviews
From the moment I walked in, the staff at Guitar Center made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. They were patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about music. I appreciated how they explained the differences between products without any sales pressure.
5 stars for Kyle & Jeff at the Webster Guitar Center location. I recently purchased a guitar that was accidentally tagged at $229 plus tax, but the actual price was $419.99 plus tax. Since I bought several items at once, I didn’t notice until after checkout that the total was much higher than expected.
I went in to try a few different brands of guitars, played for awhile and it was about 10 minutes until they close so I decided to get ready to head out. An employee named Justin came by and asked if I needed help with anything and I asked for his input on a certain guitar.
Bought many dj equipment and guitars and I use Ambleton suite and the now mpc3. After I got a fun machine called a MPC key 37.. I order mostly online for the new stuff. Not being charged full price for a used guitars and everything else at the guitar center.
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.
