“Not for the beginners:) Great guy, super friendly!”
From the reviews
Best guitar shop I have seen in the area. All high end and vintage. Not for the beginners:) Great guy, super friendly!
Robby hooked me up with an OG Tube Screamer. It was exactly as described, I got fantastic pictures beforehand, and shipping was super fast. Will absolutely look to GW for anything cool and vintage in the future.

Loved the store!. Many Amps, Guitars and everything you'd like it's over there!. Exclusive Guitars, old and new ones. There's not many stores like this in the area, so it's a place you should go!
Selling or trading gear at Guitars West, Inc.
Guitars West, Inc. 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 Guitars West, Inc.
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Guitars West, Inc.. 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 on hand for exactly this reason.
