Guitar Center reviews
13Ignorant sales people, just want to sell, same brands of cables half price at Sam Ash. Just about given up on Guitar Center.
Brandon was a huge help and so nice to work with. They had a good selection. No pressure. Thank you!
I had a great experience here buying an expensive instrument. Austin in particular helped me out a lot. All staff I interacted with were super friendly. Support these guys.
Hardly any customer service. I stood around for a while at the cash register before I got help. I am going online to get what I needed. GC lost a customer today.
What you would expect from guitar center. I was looking for higher end basses, but they did not have any. Great place for the entry level musician.
This was a clean and pleasant store. Pianos, cymbals, drum kits and more. They had individual rooms to test some variety of instruments. I didn't see any wind instruments, but lots of electronics (mixing boards, speakers, ect.)
Great selection of guitars and equipment. My son was given excellent advice & customer service towards his guitar purchase.
Nice store. Clean and items clearly on display. However staff had little product knowledge, I was looking for a specific guitsr, the 'Lazerus' Epiphone just released and they knew nothing about it. Also when I had some questions about amps it was clear they had no knowledge of many common models.
Today, it was a busy Saturday and I went in and had to make an exchange with a D’ANgelico that was giving me multiple issues. Brandon help me pick out another guitar and the whole experience was super pleasant. Now one of my new favorite Guitar Center locations. Thank you
This store is convenient for me to get to right off Hwy 10 and Warner. The selection is thin, the pricing is also not competitive with Amazon as well. Even the online prices lag behind. However, if you got to have it right now and they have it, then you will purchase it there. I am thankful it's at that location.
It's a guitar center. We went here to grab drum sticks and blue gels which they had. Friendly reminder to any beginning musician or parent looking into getting their kid an instrument that Guitar Center is not the place for woodwinds, brasswinds, or bowed strings. Beginner guitars, basses, and drums may be okay, but it's also likely you'd get a better instrument and deal at a local music place or a second hand site. Don't be afraid of a used instrument; it's really best to get the best instrument that can be afforded. Poor instruments lead to a disappointed learner. Guitar Centers are good for small accessories you need last minute and that's about it
Amazing Interface, AMAZING customer support. I'm so impressed with Antelope Audio's ZenGo Synergy Core interface I just bought. I had an engineer friend point me toward it after I said I was thinking of buying a Scarlett unit. He told me I'd end up having to upgrade whereas the new Antelope gear is high end studio AD converter quality. It really does sound amazing and the build quality is first class. What really surprised me is their customer support that is available almost 24 hours a day Sunday to Thursday (they're based in Europe). They help with any question you have from basic setup to complex routing questions.
Also! I'm not sure about other interfaces, but I'm astonished that Antelope does full 'onboard' processing of its affects. That means my CPU is totally unburdened and I can even use it as a standalone effect processor in live performance with full access to all of the plugins!
Also keep an eye on their website for package deals that include plugins like their current deal that I received. $499 for the ZenGo interface INCLUDING $1600 worth of their most popular effects. I literally have a high end studio recording platform for $500.
Oh yeah, it works great with Reaper the FREE DAW created to knock ProTools off their high horse ;)
I purchased online with Guitar Center / Musician's Friend which has always worked great for me.
