Guitar Center: what do users think?

Young Park: Went in to try out some acoustic guitars. This location has a nice inventory of guitars and the acoustic room is really nice. Lots of low, mid and high range guitars. Service wasn’t that good. I went in three different times to check out guitars and each time, the salesman would pull a guitar down and then disappear. One time, I waited 20 min. for the salesman to come back and check on me, but he never did. So I left. When i found a guitar I liked, I tried to haggle on the price and they wouldn’t budge from the list price. I’m addition, they had some used guitars listed with prices that were the same (when you get a case) as new.

Daniel Harper: It’s a Guitar Center. If you’re looking for guitar or rock music-focused music gear, this is a good place to go. It has a better selection than most other rock-focused music stores. It’s neat and well-organized. If you’re looking for classical or band music gear (violins, woodwinds, brass instruments, etc.), this is not the place for you. Overall I recommend it.

ben glowasky: Had a really good experience with Kevin F picked up a speaker from him on 6-13-2022 and he was very informative really good sales and really wanted to help and really friendly

Maryna Broussard: Love this store! Here you can found a big choice for your needs and even take a lesson how to play the guitar!

Ciara Long: This must be a good GC. My husband told me he was running in for a quick second and 40 minutes later I’m still sitting in the car. I guarantee he comes out with half the store. Great location, friendly and knowledgeable service he said and well stocked.

Guitar Center: what do users think?

Irish Car Bomb: This particular store is an embarrassment to the music community, and Guitar Center alike. Everything is cluttered, off shelves, out of place. The floors are absolutely filthy. There are broken instruments just laying around. There are items out of packages. You can tell staff doesn’t take pride in their store. I visit guitar centers around the country frequently, as I’m represented by a pro rep, via guitar center professional. I am a drummer, so I will include the photos I took of this establishment in my area only, I didn’t venture into the other areas as they were just as bad from afar. The used selection is just in piles all over the floor. Who would want to spend money here? The employees seem nice when you’re paying but there was absolutely no engagement with me until I was at the counter.

Sahil A: I would give this Guitar Center 0 stars if I could. Ben and all the other employees seem nice over the phone but in person they give you smart answers especially Ben, when you ask about the return policy Ben gets very offended. I asked for the return policy cause I was buying a used controller without it being tested. Ben then says if your gonna return it then don’t buy it, then why the hell do u guys have a return policy. Never shopping at this store again and I don’t recommend it to anyone!

Chris Scuderi: Warning. This guitar center is selling used items as new. Purchased 2 “new” KRK 8 inch studio monitors at almost $300 each. When grabbing them off the shelf I noticed one of them looked like the box was retaped. I asked if this unit was used and the salesman Zack assured me it wasn’t. When I got home (after 2 hour round trip) the unit that I thought was opened was certainly opened because the power cable was missing. I immediately called the store and the manager was prompt to tell me he would over night the power cord. I raised my concern about the item being used and he assured me it wasn’t. Well, it’s used. There is a white scuff on bottom left (like it was hit on a white wall) and there are what appears to be soda that has dried on bottom. Now I get to spend another 2 hours swapping out this unit with a new one. A complete waste of my time and money.

Michael Fortenberry: Great location close to a lot of attractions and other shopping areas. They have a wonderful selection of music equipment bass, electric, and acoustic guitars. I think what a lot of people don’t know is Guitar Center also has a great selections of equipment keyboards, sound, lighting and turntable equipment. The staff here is superb, helpful and provided a lot of great recommendations I didn’t initially considered. I highly recommend this location to anyone passing through this area or are visiting.

Quentin Workman: After a mixup in shipping, and UPS losing my guitar, I was refunded for the price of mine and sent a new one on them. They are a great company that I will continue to frequent!

Hasan ibn-Sabah: Decent stock, helpful and friendly employees who seem to like what they do. Minus 9ne star for the horrible parking lot situation.

Ken Pierce: I bought a new Álvarez guitar is it place so good in the Customer satisfaction is excellent I love shopping at this place

Travis Roland: I brought my martin custom X guitar here to have the bridge re glued down, and have a neck adjustment. My first issue was that i was told the total cost was going to be 150$ which included putting elixer strings back on. When i went to pick up the guitar I was charged extra for strings and they didnt put elixers back on. Not too big of a deal to me. When I got home and proceeded to inspect the repair I was immediately shocked by the lack of attention to detail, the bridge was crooked and not flush against the body. I returned the guitar to have this corrected, when I went to pick it up, I inspected it in the store, there was glue all around the bridge and looked even worse than the first time! I spoke with Steven H. Who conducted the repair and he said he would address the issue. Im thinking third time is a charm, wrong! I picked it up 20 minutes ago and it still looks like garbage. At this point my guitar has spent almost 3 weeks at guitar center and I have lost all patience so I brought the guitar home.

MOHAMMED DALOWAR HOSSAIN: This an amazing place to buy a guitar and necessity of the music world instrument

She Fancy: These folks are just AWESOME. The young lady (the only young lady- pardon me for being absent minded) educated me on my desired purchase and went above and beyond to select the very best electric drum set available. She helped me prank surprise my husband with the drum set for his bday. She purchased balloons for him at zero cost to me. I can’t say enough. Extremely satisfied with the value AND service.

Guitar Center: what do users think?

Jake O: I’ve had a few good experiences here. Connor in the repairs/services department is absolutely excellent, great at communicating about your instrument and what the options are for your issue. And he’s good at the repairing or setting up your instrument. Dropping a star just because the store seems a little unorganized, communication between the front and the repair guys could be better. And it seems like they’re understaffed; the employees are being pulled in a thousand directions so sometimes there’s just not someone to help you. But yeah it’s p good, would let Connor adjust my truss rod any day

Brian Loffredo: Why sell drums if you have no interest in selling drums? This is the second GC I’ve been to in a month and both of them look like the place is being packed up for a move. Boxes everywhere. Merchandise out of order and strewn about like toys on Christmas morning. Missing tags. You name it. It’s terrible. All of the snare drums on the shelf (in the Fredericksburg, VA location) were way out of tune. The top heads were barely tightened. The cymbals were not stocked well and there was no section to look at hardware. A few high hat and other stands were place sporadically around the “showroom” but there was no way for me to actually try anything out to see if it was worth purchasing. I was there for 30 minutes and did not see a single salesperson enter the drum area (unless someone was hiding behind the pile of returns next to the cash register. As a drummer, I am truly sad. I miss the heyday of Mannys Music and Sam Ash.

jfeownfew rewfew: Horrible service. Every time I come, I gotta wait for so long to just ask if something is available. Back order never shipped and wouldn’t even refund when I come to the store. I once bought a bass which was said to be a floor model but sold at retail price and had a big scratch on the surface.

Guitar Center: what do users think?

Nate Fields: Spencer did a good job giving me all the info I needed over the phone. Came in the next day found what I was looking for I think it was even less than Spencer mentioned. Dennis hooked me up with what I needed and there was no snickering, drama, or stress. Guitar center seems different now.

Steve Williams: Rented amp [Hot Rod] for the 2nd time for Kidd Funkadelic. Crew there were polite and courteous. the amp performed well but most of all they were quick

Jason R.: Awesome store. Very courteous staff. I had pick ups installed in my guitar. Excellent work & they were completed before the estimated time.

Emily Reid Campbell: This place is huge. Pictures don’t do it justice. There is a large open “main” area devoted primarily to guitars and accessories and sound systems and sheet music and whatnot. Off this main area there are many additional spaces with all sorts of cool stuff in various adjoining rooms, halls, alcoves, and other curious display areas of varying size and shape. Acoustic gets its own special room with a door and everything that you can access at the back of the main area—I didn’t go inside because it looked a bit too exclusive for me and too dangerous for my little kids to go near of course, but if you’re looking for acoustic stuff you’ll probably love it. You’ll also look really cool going inside. Other areas and offerings: a huge drum section filled with drums and drum stuff and related accessories and all sorts of things that I have never even seen or heard of because I do not play drums, all located in a large room/additional area just to the right of the entrance as you walk in the store from the parking lot (with potentially more spaces located off of that first “drum area,”—I didn’t venture that far in). Another several adjoining areas off the main space are similarly dedicated to pianos, keyboards, and synthesizer type stuff. Further back into the distant corners adjoining piano land, you’ll find another room or two full of speakers, amps, and all sorts of sound systems and devices for DJs and sound engineers and audiophiles of any sort. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a secret entrance to another realm entirely back there, with dancing elves playing trumpets and harps and accordions and other strange creatures of that sort, given how many corners and alcoves and sections they had there already. It’s pretty cool. On the other side of the store I saw additional rooms and areas for music lessons and rentals and a few other doors to miscellaneous realms of musical store excitement. I’ll have to check that side out next time. You get the idea. This place is BIG. In fact, the “main” area alone is as large or larger than the entire square footage of the few other guitar center locations I’ve seen before. Granted: size is not the primary determinant of quality, especially not for specialty stores of this sort. But if you need music equipment, this is a good bet. It’s a cool place overall and makes me want to learn more about everything there and maybe learn to play a few more instruments in the future. I don’t have enough experience to comment extensively on the quality of their actual stock or their prices in comparison to other stores. But they have a TON of stuff there for musicians and DJs and sound engineers and audiophiles and anyone else seeking musical instruments and music related goods. And they do price match other stores, so if you find something cheaper at another store they’ll give you that price (up to 45 days after purchase, with some exceptions of course). As for customer service and sales and whatnot: I have only purchased one thing from them thus far, but my experience was positive and the sales process was smooth and nicely handled. Overall, the sales associates are nice and unobtrusive. They’re not necessarily going to greet you enthusiastically when you walk in, or even greet you at all. They’re probably not going to ask you if you need help right away either, or perhaps at any point, and they’re almost certainly NOT going to follow you around the store just to see if you need help later. If you need or want all that, this might not be your type of place. Personally, I prefer this approach. They’re there and quite helpful if you need them, but otherwise they’ll let you explore and do your thing. If/when you do need them, they’re happy to help. Just ask. It works. I’m a fan.

Todd L: I like the store a lot it has percussion and the staff is friendly got a decent choice of ancillary services and boxes and supplies and you got a national system behind you

Luan Nguyen: I stopped by this store to purchase 2 bose L1 pro 8, the first one is ok but the second one when I open everything very dirty and the power cord is already opened, look like they sold the open box for me with the price of the new one.

Jacob Ferguson: This place has *excellent* customer service. I had somewhat of an emergency and needed a small tan windscreen for my Countryman mic. Jim Hodges called almost every music store in town and finally we figured something out. Thank you so much to Jim Hodges and Guitar Center.

Guitar Center: what do users think?

Sarah Simpson: Terrible customer service, 6 people waiting for help and all the associates disappear. Everyone walking around looking for employees. Good prices but this is why even worth higher pricing amazon is beating these places in business.

MJ: Don’t waste your time here. Horrible customer service. There’s no order in how they run their business. Went in to purchase some items and just needed them to pull the stock so I could check out, but we waited for approximately 25-30 minutes before we decided it was going to be a never ending wait and left. They would rather spend their time playing around and testing out guitars customers are there to sell rather than assisting customers who are there to spend money. It would be more efficient if they ascertained whether or not you’re there to buy or sell upon arrival in order to expedite the process.

Mike Hales: Great selection of products. Was able to get bass, amp, case, and other gear. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Paris E Brown: Staff are always helpful and pretty knowledgeable. The repair center is the bomb... They took an almost impossible repair, and did the repair very well. (Second time we used the repair center).
