From the reviews
Guitar Center of Wichita is not only the best Guitar Center I've been to, but also one of my favorite places in town! I've purchased a few guitars, a tube head, a 1x12 cab, studio monitors and much more from this location, and the staff has always been fantastic!
This Guitar Center is such a wonderful place to shop. I have been here so many times over many years, and these guys are the best! I've never had a bad experience. And, its not just like, "Oh! You have to talk to John when you go there!" It is EVERY SINGLE PERSON.
An awesome musical equipment and supply store, at Kellogg Drive and Tracy Street. I remember coming here for their grand opening many years ago and it’s great to see this place is still going strong. I stopped in recently for a guitar tuner and used my rewards easily at checkout.
I took my grandson in to look for a guitar, as he had outgrew his first one. He had consistently been going up there to play their guitars, as this is something the Center allows. SO nice of them. He looked at several and had Celso, the sales associate , up and down the ladder retrieveing different ones to try.
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.
