The store in Palm Desert Ca. is very small but considering the smaller music scene here does it need to be bigger? They pretty much cover all the bases with a little bit of everything and adequate stock of the every day essentials such as strings, cords, pics and doodads. The staff has always been welcoming, friendly and the "appropriate amount" of helpful in that they ask if you need help and if you say no or just looking they leave you alone. But they are always right there if you do ask for assistance or information. Seeing some of the reviews stating "no body to help" or "I was ignored" makes me wonder because I visit frequently and have never found that to be the case. I've made two sister store purchases shipped to the Palm Desert store and everything went smoothly. One guitar I decided I didn't like and was able to return no hassle-no questions asked. I know that is store policy but I've never had to do that before so was pleased they are true to their word. Only disappointment I've had in the 6 years since moving to the area was I needed some string tree retainers for a Strat I bought off CL and though the website said they were in store stock, they weren't. And I can say that was my bad for not actually calling and confirming first. But the location is only 10 miles from me so no biggie.

There are so many different time of music instruments, music sheets, cords & anything you need or if has to do with music they have it! I needed to find music protector sheets, I had no idea what I was looking for . So Josh could see I was troubled , he asked me if I needed help, I said yes. I told him what I was looking for. He said that there none in stock and he said maybe staples would have them too . I love the fact he gave me options, Inside the store or even outside the store . His willingness to help me was so very kind & thoughtful! I really do appreciate his time and efforts & his suggestions ! Josh was super sweet,kind, caring, thoughtful, super down to earth, very genuine! I would like to Thank Guitar Center for making my visit so wonderful! I would especially love the Thank Josh for Making my day so memorable! I'll definitely be back again & for advice! I'll tell all my family and friends to come here !

But most importantly he, and his band are absolutely incredible musicians.

Three of the bandmembers are brothers and the chemistry really shows through in their performance. Their pricing was what i believed was a bargin, and you could tell they enjoyed playing as much as we enjoyed dancing. Bottom line, very easy decision to hire these guys for any event. 5 stars, thanks fellas!
