Guitar Center offers a huge selection of amps, drums, keyboards, recording gear, and more from top brands. Reviews on the experience are mixed. Some customers report super nice, educated, and amazing staff who are really helpful, providing good customer service and allowing time to test instruments. Others find the service pretty bad, stating employees actively try to push up-sales and misinform customers. The equipment available is also described inconsistently; while there are lots of cool guitars and some decent microphone stuff, many mention low quality, beat-up display items and pricey cables. The store is recommended for those looking for cheap gear or direction, but with noted cautions about product condition and sales pressure.
