I am in the process of restructuring my studio and guitar rig. Ruben has taken the time and effort to help with choices. Showcasing and demonstrating new gear and options. Everyone at the store is extremely helpful in that process. I am grateful to the entire crew for professionally helping me with my on going project involving getting different gear in different departments. read more

I understand that buying used gear comes with some level of risk. That's part of the deal. What's not part of the deal is being misled or served by someone who doesn't know what they're doing. I purchased a MiM Jazz Bass that appeared nearly new -- it still had the factory stickers on it. It played well, sounded good, and everything seemed fine. Before completing the purchase, I went to the in-store luthier and specifically asked him to give the truss rod a small turn just to confirm that it moved and functioned properly. He appeared to do so and even made a couple minor setup adjustments. Two months later, while restringing the bass, I noticed a bit of neck relief and went to check the truss rod myself. The nut is completely stripped. Not slightly worn. Not "a little rough." Completely stripped. So now there are only two possibilities: 1. I was told it had been adjusted when it hadn't. 2. The person adjusting it didn't recognize that the nut was already destroyed. Either way -- that's unacceptable. If it was dishonesty, that's trash service. If it was incompetence, that's also trash service. Had I been told, "Hey, the truss nut is stripped," I could have made an informed decision. I could have negotiated the price, replaced the nut myself, or walked away. It's not an expensive part. It's not a complex fix. What matters is transparency. Used gear is one thing. Misrepresentation -- whether intentional or careless -- is another. That's the real issue here. read more

Maureen is amazing! I went in to buy a used amp that sold minutes before I got there and she immediately offered to help find new options and took great care of me. She was there every step of the way to make sure I had a great experience and to get what I wanted at the best deal she could offer. Working with her was a great experience and I look forward to the opportunity to work with her again! read more

Bought a Soundcraft Gigrac that was listed as GREAT condition and NOTHIN' !! Would NOT power up...I've had this happen a few times now at different G.C.'s...an item listed as GREAT or EXCELLENT and it arrives dead as could be...I've really had enough of this bullshit... a minute or two to test would save ME a TON of hassle and my money in LIMBO...it would also save G.C. time and money... read more

Back in middle school, I used to swing by this guitar store after hanging out at the mall. Walking in, you immediately felt the energy of a place that genuinely loves music. The walls were lined with guitars of all shapes and sizes, amps humming softly in the background, and the smell of polished wood and strings--it was a small escape from the usual mall chaos. What made the experience even better was knowing one of the employees. They were always approachable, happy to answer questions, and genuinely excited to see someone trying out an instrument. Even as a kid, it didn't feel intimidating to ask for advice or try a guitar out. It wasn't just a store; it was a little community for anyone interested in music. Whether you were serious about playing or just curious, it was a spot where you could feel at home among the guitars and amps. Looking back, it's one of those places that made middle school afternoons feel a lot more memorable. read more

So much for ordering online. I put in 2 requests for a specific guitar they had in stock via the Guitar Center online portal. Even after receiving an email from their portal that "someone would get back to me within 24 hours" - I have heard nothing. They just lost a sale and in my opinion, have too much business if they can disregard a client's request. read more

The staff allowed us to walk around and explore the store before asking questions. When we were ready, Dan was able to answer all of our questions and help us make a decision. The staff is very knowledgeable, welcoming, and pleasant. It turned out to be a wonderful experience and my father couldn't be happier with his selection. Will definitely be visiting again soon! read more

Guitar Center - QSC K122 12" powered sub. - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Cherry Hill, New Jersey

See all

I was in the market for a new acoustic, and wanted, in particular, a Martin. Decided to swing past Guitar Center and see what they had. I walk in, and there was only one guy working. I told him what I was looking for, and asked if I could play a few to see if I liked anything. He lets me in the acoustic room and leaves me to my playing. I grab the one and only Martin off the wall and strum it and......it's absolute shit. Like, sounds like a toy ukulele. It's fret buzzing and the tuners are wonky. Apparently, they let the clientele just straight ABUSE the $900 test guitars. I figured I would just try the Taylor that was on the wall, but THAT one was locked. I look, and apparently every guitar except the obviously damaged Martin, and two other cheap-os were locked up. I go to see if I can get the guy to unlock some more, but when I come out, he's dealing with a group of people, and again, was the only employee there. So, I just peruse the electric selection, which is basically just a HUGE wall of the same guitar 60 times, then another of the same guitar 20 times, then another of the same guitar 18 times, etc. I will say, as a place to BUY a guitar, I was thoroughly unimpressed. But as a place to TRY a guitar, it was a little better. Sure their Martin acoustic was ABYSMAL, but they seem to be real laid back about letting you grab something and give it a whirl. read more

Came in looking for a mixing controller and Chris in the audio department was sooo helpful!

Went in here looking to get my son started on Drums. Matt in the drum section was extremely helpful at showing me what they have in stock. Was able to find a couple pieces of gear as well as some for myself (electric guitar). Would come back. read more

We walked in here the Saturday night of Thanksgiving weekend when it was pretty busy, knowing absolutely nothing, to buy a beginner his first guitar. Quickly overwhelmed we asked for help and Vince was sent to us. It would have been easy for him to be condescending or pushy and he was neither. He asked thoughtful questions, gave good answers even to our most basic questions, and was more concerned about my budget than we were! Everyone working there was as friendly and welcoming as could be - it was a great experience. read more

Stay away! Shady business practices in this store! I ordered, a guitar online and they sent me the wrong one. When I inquired into the whereabouts of the guitar I ordered they told me it was gone. I think I got a bait and switch. Never again! read more

100 percent customer satisfaction guaranteed. My experience was great. I made an order when I called the store 3 days after my order to ask for an update they checked it for me and gave me an update. Very helpful my order arrived exactly when they said it would read more

The guy in the audio section just answered 3-4 of my questions like I was a complete moron and should know all these technical details. Asshole, I'm a novice customer, it's literally your job to answer questions like mine. I'm sure he's angry because he's working at guitar center at 40+ years old and not actually doing sound work. read more

My experience with Guitar Center in Cherry Hill NJ was positive in every way . I found the staff friendly and knowledgeable . I dealt directly with Rod and it could not have been better - helpful , friendly, knowledgeable within being condescending. I bought an amp after demo of several. They had it in stock when others didn't and they even met the lower price of the competition. Highly recommended. read more

Pro: Great service from this establishment! I admit that it's tough for me to write a review on a large commercial chain. The enormous size of a business makes their operations seem like a lot of "givens" with regard to their product value. What makes one place stand out from the other is the service one receives with their patronage. This leads me to give a very big shout out to sales associate Chris, who was amazing in all my ventures to the Cherry Hill Guitar Center! He is not only knowledgeable about the products he sells; he also took the time to explain the benefits and differences in product options. Whether it was the best "bang for the buck" when considering studio monitors, the potential loss of sound quality when bridging XLR cables, or why the Electro Voice PA speaker was a better choice than its rival from Mackie Thump, Chris definitely smoothed out the purchasing process for me! He also was quick to apply discounts for military members and talk to his hierarchy about offering complimentary products as a consolation for opting for an extended warranty. BIG THANKS to Chris for everything! Con: As a "bedroom DJ" who occasionally plays at events as a favor for colleagues, this is a potentially expensive habit! I need to make more money! Maybe it's time to go "pro"... :) Bottom Line: Chris at this Guitar Center branch made the task of buying some awesome gear even better. See for yourself! read more

Have to say very disappointed in this store today when in looking for a few things....not one person said hello or even how can I help you.....used to go here all the time but you lost this customer today...went right up the sidewalk to Sam ash were the were polite and knowledgeable and did I say cheaper by $10 on the couple things I needed. I.had a guitar setup by guitar center and that sucked also even after taking back to guitar center now that guitar is basically unplayable...dont waste your time your hard earned $$$$ here. read more

I went in there were about 3 workers . None said "hi how are you ? let us know if you need help" I was shopping around for a guitar. Went to the guitar section was in the store for like 20 minutes no one came to ask me if I needed help. they stood around talking not doing what they were hired to do. as I was leaving None of them said " thanks have a good day ". I went to Sam Ash in the same plaza had a better experience. They acknowledge the people who walk in and ask if I needed help. They got my business. I expected better from this company and the workers need to be retrained or relocated to the storage room cause they aren't customer friendly ignoring people who come in. read more

Good reliable and knowledgeable people. Yes it's a chain but it's sooo much better than Sam Ash.

No offense to our beloved Blue Bond, but honesty dictates that a guitar lover must admit the Guitar Center, a mere 10 minutes from Center City, is an impressive mecca. Selection and prices really can't be beat, and despite being a big chain the service and knowledge-level of the staff is usually very impressive. read more

Amazing service, we went in and they were having free lessons for bass that day, which was awesome. The staff were extremely respectful and even came right up and taught me how to play Another One Bites the Dust. read more

Definitely an awesome place. I've spent thousands of dollars there and have never been disappointed. A lot of great high quality gear. Their selection is huge. They have a pretty decent selection of used gear as wel. Gregg, in guitars is definitely the guy to talk to! read more

I play and collect guitars but my trips to GC are limited to buying strings only when I need them right away (guitars I buy I setup myself and sometimes run out of strings)...couple things you need to know before going into a GC...expect a lot of punk kids working for min wage....expect to be hounded by punk kids if you even appear to be browsing (for this reason I usually stand by a register)....and if you buy in-store you'll be getting ripped off. If you can make it past those barriers, by all means, go to GC. LOL Guitar Center corporate is in a cash crunch and probably will end up closing down at some future date. There are two positive aspects to the business model for consumers: 1. their return policy, 30 days no questions asked, pretty good. 2. Their huge used gear online search. Most of the stuff they list will be overpriced (and their descriptions/pictures suck), but it's worth looking through their huge inventory of used gear. The place is so poorly managed you can usually find a few incredible, mispriced deals. If you're not rocking you're not living. Please maintain some standards in your life. JMP read more

Alex in the guitar department is the man!!! When you go there, ask for him. He's the nicest and most pleasant to deal with. Not saying the other guys aren't great, but Alex is really top notch and has never done me wrong. Tom, Assistant Manager, is great too!!! read more

Amazing time at this guitar center. The vibes were immaculate. The employees were very helpful and friendly as were the other customers in the store. I had absolutely zero issues in finding the electric guitar of my dreams. PLUS it was on sale. read more

I recently got back into music again after a long hiatus and have been in this store a number of times over the last year, purchasing various things including an expensive guitar. I am impressed with the staff in this store. They are all so friendly and helpful. I don't get the usual "too cool for you" vibe that can sometimes exist in music stores. The guys in repairs are particularly nice and helpful. The last time I was in there, Alex fixed my guitar issue on the spot, which I really appreciated. This store has a good selection of merchandise and you can also order from Guitar Center's web site and have the item shipped to the store or to your home. read more

God I love this place - I think everything in my studio is from here...If you are looking for any sort of dj equipment and pro audio/studio equipment this is the spot. Ask for Chris Udoh and tell him Pappas sent you. Chris knows his shit about every single vst plugin, DAW and all out board gear. He will definitely hook you up and not give you the bull shit sales pitches. Their prices are by far the best around - I coud literally spend hours in this place. My bank account hates me whenever I go but its def worth it! read more

Great selection obviously, but the service is slow and barren of information. My suggestion is that you do you research and check out your mom and pop shops before visiting this Mcmusicstore... read more

I love this place. Bryan in guitar pedals and Bill in guitar repairs have been super helpful and they're the reason I keep coming back. I've been going to this store for years and I've never been disappointed. read more

I've gotten my share of guitars and musical supplies from these guys but when it comes to selling your guitar to them, they will give you the lowest offer that's not even respectable. Sadly that would be the last time I walk into a guitar center. read more

Going to update my review since Jesse the manager helped me out after seeing my review (their insurance and return policy still sucks though for the record). He ended up replacing the $500 mic and told me I will probably have to replace it yearly (which is a lot but that was not the expectation set when I first purchased it). He did everything he could to get me a new one and it was much appreciated. -------------------------------------------- I would give no stars if I could. I own a fitness studio and I have purchased THREE mic systems from them since sept 2015. Their policy sucks as you must break it to get a replacement vs the equipment malfunctioning. THREE MALFUNCTIONING MICS and a "well you'll have to buy another one." The last one I bought was over $500 and I was told "you'll never need another one." GO ELSEWHERE read more

I love this place! Chris in Pro Audio is the best. But everyone there has been helpful at some time or another.

Alex Kiedaisch the Assistant Manager is one very awesome reason to come to this store. I am from NYC and I *always* buy my gear from him and GC Cherry Hill. Whether buying guitars, audio Interfaces, effects or sound proofing for my home studio, he has been the only one I trust, and the dude I call He has helped me get in touch with GC store managers all over the country when my gear has failed when touring, has helped my band members, students, and friends with their gear purchases.. I highly recommend this guitar center to everyone ! read more

Over priced and horrible customer service! I ordered a technics turntable headshell 3 weeks ago and I still haven't received the item yet. They said "It shouldn't take long and we will call you". BULLSHIT! DO NOT HAVE THEM ORDER ANYTHING FOR YOU!! First of all, you have to make a full payment of the ordered item in the store and they do not ship it to your house. You have to wait forever and call them to tell you that the item haven't been received in the store yet! NEVER AGAIN! It's back to Amazon for me! read more

OK, I hate writing a positive reviews about a place run by nasty corporate overlords, but I have to say that I had good dealings with Alex while buying a vintage guitar. Negotiated price was fair, and they replaced a faulty switch at no charge when I brought it back in, while I waited. The repair guy had a lot of tricks for working on a hollow body guitar with no access panel, a job I wouldn't have wanted to tackle. read more

I've shopped here for decades and I've never once had a bad experience. The guitar selection is better than Sam Ash and associates allow you to browse without hounding you. If you need something, they'll be happy to help. If you have a question, just ask. The guys in the repair department have helped me out on a number of occasions. They've even stopped what they were working on to fix things for me for free or give me spare parts if they had them at no charge. Try getting that kind of service from their competitors and see what happens. For a big box store, this is pretty much as good as it gets. Just don't try selling your gear to them. They'll lowball the hell out of you as all big box chains will. read more

this place is amazing as well. they have a lot of high grade equiptment and their prices are pretty good. check their serato prices and mixer prices - totally on point. read more

I make all of my major purchases (guitars, lighting, pa) at this specific location. I've never had a problem that they couldn't easily remedy. It is a very comfortable environment to browse and shop. I highly recommend purchasing the equipment protection plan with any big purchase; it has saved me hundreds of not thousands over the years! read more

put my guitar in for a set up on oct 12 and it is now nov18 still not done, i called 3x during this ordeal the first time about 2 weeks ago and was told that some employee's were sick, ok understandable it happens. the 2x a week later called again and was told again that employee's were sick but the guy told me he would get around 2 it 2day or the next day ok fine. now another week later 2day, i called again too see where they were at on this it sounded like the same employee that told me the week b4 that he was going to do it that day or the next and guess what? now i am next on the list says it will b done 2day or 2morow. whats going on here gc??? i personally think they should knock at least 10 bucks off the price 4 the service. if not done by 2morow i take my biz to sam ash as everyone told me too do so in the first place. if they can not knock some cash off, then i will b doing biz with the neighbor mr. sam ash couple doors down! read more

I wish I could give this store no stars if I could. As a frequent guitar center customer, we were so disappointed that this store was so awful. Customer service was nonexistent.. I could go on and on.. what a shame..oh no! This was the Mays Landing location- not cherry hill! Apologies!! read more
