User Reviews for Guitar Center

Yep, it’s the Walmart of guitars! I’ve been there several times and talked to several of the staff before – some of them made my soul hurt, but at least one of them was helpful. The key is to know what you want before you go in there! It’s just like going to a Best Buy or any big box store, do your research beforehand and TELL them what you want, don’t ask their opinion. Don’t buy an $800 guitar if you’re just starting out. Don’t pay $40 for a chromatic tuner when you know that the $15 one will be fine. Know your guitars, know your strings/amps/accessories before you go in and you’ll do great. You can get better prices online, but if you need to try something out (like a guitar) then head over here they’ve got so many that they’ll probably have what you want at a good price. If you buy it there or at a real guitar shop is up to you. If you’re looking for a guitar on the cheap and don’t know much about them, I’d buy here over a pawn shop. 30 day money-back and manufacture warranty on all guitars.

Pros: They've got soooo much stuff

Cons: Agressive sales tactics, preying on newbies

Editor's Review

A humming, beating, vibrating, music mega store.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

Look Good

Feel free to plug in any of the store's guitars and take them for a test drive. Just don't play "Stairway" or you'll look like a newbie.
