The employees are great here. Everyone has great knowledge about the items in the store and they always find a way to help you. There are rental equipment available upon request I believe and there are plenty of items to browse. I heard people trying out the drums so feel free to try it before you buy it. The DJ section is always kept well organized too. Trusty Guitar Center for years.

Good selection, easy access, but high retail prices. You can hold and try out many of the instruments, which often makes the trip there worthwhile.I bought one of their store-brand portable keyboard stands in a new box. It was not as well built and certainly not as easy to assemble as the high end name brands yet was also in the same price range. I only bought it because they didnt stock the high-end name brand model I wanted. I needed a stand that night. I will not buy Guitar Center store brand items again.Workers were helpful IN the store, but on the phone the ones I spoke to were flat out either lazy, incompetent, overworked, and otherwise unhelpful. I asked them whether a specific item, by make and model number, was in stock and whether a demo instrument was available. The first woman put me on hold for over 10 minutes and never came back to the phone. I called a few hours later, reached another female voice, possibly the same woman, and she gave me bogus information. She simply did not listen to what I was saying. I called back several hours after that, reached a man who understood what I wanted but gave me the wrong info on the items status. He and the woman or women seemed rushed, too. I dont fault them for that as the place can get busy.Their return policy is good, but read it closely before you buy.

Very happy!! We needed a Acoustic guitar gig case as soon as possible and called a few places and couldn’t find them called this place and they had them, when we went in we decided on a hard case which was not that much money and was beautiful the sales guy was incredible and the store is clean and well stocked and well educated staff

I found myself here, after going to another GC location, as well as another big music store nearby, neither of which had a great selection for the price, nor good customer service.My experience here was great. Sales rep Erik was helpful but not pushy, and he helped us find a great starter acoustic guitar for my daughter. Selection and ambience was great. Id drive past my closest GC to return to this one.

Review №24

Guitar centers usually look good and are clean. Problem is, they are nearly always populated to some extent by noodlers who *never* buy anything, preventing any actual buyers from hearing an instrument they are interested in. Every dept., it is consistent, every guitar center I have been to. Used instrument selections are often small, more are online, so one must attempt to find a near match at a local store. Employees can be helpful when not busy.

Guitar Center used to be an exciting place. I was just there yesterday. The sales representative in the pro audio department should have been a little bit more professional. Instead of ignoring the customers waiting in line while he helped one customer. He could have said. I will be with you shortly. Instead he just ignored us all.

Mostly improved since having very little inventory due to COVID-19, but the percussion department lacks inventory. Pretty depressing walking in there. They need new equipment and allow people to play with atleast fake drum sticks so there can be life in there.

So I go & checkout & my card gets declined TWICE!! JEREMY JOHNSON says dont worry and calls the bank for me and things resolved within the next few minutes! This young man went out of his way to resolve this stressful problem for me.Not only that he was super knowledgeable & he handled 3 more customers simultaneously while he delt with my BS lol. Do yourself a favor & ask for Mr Johnson, if hes busy please wait you wont be disappointed.💯

Eric, my guitar associate, was amazing with his knowledge and sharing his musical skills. He knew appropriate musical terminology as well as having had excellent composition skills/guitar chops. This guy was so very helpful and spent about 45mins with me as he tried out a product he wasnt to familiar with. He was open and honest about that part of his time with me. This guy deserves mucho credit.

Being a long time Guitar Center customer, purchasing thousands of dollars in guitars, keyboards and equipment, I find the lack of customer service at this store,, is getting worse. I went in to buy a simple volume knob nut for my grand daughters electric guitar. While waiting for an associate at the repair desk, I clearly see a compartment with alot of old hardwarel, as well as the nut I was.looking for. When I finally get assistance, the guy checks with their guitar specialist and tells me the nuts only come with a volume control assembly l, but that I could go to Ace Hardware and find one. Which they do not have the thin nut required...True FAIL at Customer Service!!!

Review №59

I hadnt been in a guitar center for several years. Mostly because Im a left handed player and they rarely stock any substantial lefty guitars and their customer service leaves a lot to be desired. I went in today because I needed an item and didnt want to order it online and wait for it to be shipped. I was shocked to see how bare their guitar selection was for right handed players. They mostly had budget guitars and even then there wasnt much to choose from. Likewise the amplifier selection was sparse. I realize the pandemic has impacted the supply chain but it was in stark contrast to how Im used to seeing their stores present products. They also seem to really be pushing lessons and have re-purposed a lot of their floor space for lesson rooms. I know they have had serious financial problems over the last few years and it really starting to show.

Review №76

Recently purchased a guitar here, and I love it. Ryan, the salesman who helped me was knowledgeable and friendly, super happy with my purchase. There was a small issue with fret buzz, but JD the guitar tech fixed it right up. He does some amazing work, and even if you buy your guitar elsewhere you should take it to him. Hes straight up, no bs, and a true craftsman. Repaired my acoustic a few years back which ultimately led me back to this guitar center to purchase my first electric. He fixed that buzz no problem. Big shout out to him! Also Nick another salesman is very helpful. He wasnt my salesman for this purchase, but he has helped me in the past and knows his stuff. This guitar center is great 👍

Im a guitar addict so I have bought 4 guitars from here. Obviously due to the pandemic you have to wait in line but what can you expect ? Its for the safety of the employees and customers. So no need to complain there. If you want to get in the store, arrive early.As for the online orders, Guitar Center does a good job in having the product ready for you. I have waited maximum 15 minutes for my instrument and other ordered parts to come out to my car. The employees are very respectful and professional.

It is really sad watching guitar center go out of business. Its gotta be management because I watched the employees enthusiasm go down hard over the last 10 years. Yesterday I went to buy a guitar, never once did someone try to help me with that but their manager seemed to have all time in the world to scold my on the way I wear my mask. Sorry Im not gonna be scolded by the receptionist at guitar centr

Placed an order online on 10/23. The website said that the item was in stock and ready to ship. I was told that it would arrive approx 10/26. I checked the status today and it shows it will be at the store on 11/3. I tried to cancel the order but they wouldnt let me until the store receives it. Very disappointed with the customer service.
