From the reviews
Guitar Center is AMAZING! A music store for both novice and expert musicians. While specializing in a astounding assortment of guitars, they also sell a wide variety of drum sets, keyboards, and pro audio as well. It’s truly a sight to see, many of these instruments are works of art.
I went to Guitar Center in Arvada, CO today to just see a Gibson Les Paul Standard 60’s as I am considering one sometime. I was surprised to be handed one and asked what Amp I use. I told the sales rep and he set me up to try it out! I played for an hour. Got checked on once.
I've been shopping at Guitar Center for years, almost exclusively at the Arvada (Westminster) store. Today's experience – trying to get ourselves into a travel-worthy case that would fit a twelve string acoustic guitar – was the best I've had at this shop in my life.
Guitar center is a wonderful store, from the instruments they sell to their customer service. I have been taking lessons with Kris since January and he's very professional, I highly recommend learning instruments at 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.
