This Guitar Center store is Amazing. It looks very clean and organized. They offer a large variety of instruments of every kind. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Don't forget to request a price match for the opportunity of getting a better price!
What other place can you go with genuine people who are kind and jam on a 2 thousand dollar piece of musical equipment and not catch any shit? Guitar center offers the youth and those of us "adults" who couldn't ditch the young dude within our souls a place to relax and unwind to exceptional quality and delightful…
Every time I come here I am greeted by enthusiastic men who know their shit! Literally every question that I had on this occasion was answered in a manner that I could understand it. I was shown a variety of products that were all exactly what I was looking for.
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.
