My family has been shopping at GC for decades. We've spent tens of thousands over the years and most of the people we know shop GC as well. The Dallas areas stores have been amazing, but now I find myself living near Corpus Christi. I'll keep it short and simple. I have never heard of a GC this crap. Were I the boss, I would fire the whole crew and start over or shut the doors. I don't care to explain the incompetence, lack of motivation, and utter ignorance of every member of the sales team. Will I go back. 100% YES. I will use them as a return hub. I will order online/shipped to house. If I don't like it, the Corpus Christi store can deal with the return. If I want to audition a new instrument. I won't go into the store. I'll order online, play for 45 days and the Corpus Christi store can return it. They are now just a UPS return center for Guitar Center.I won't go past the front register unless I have to use the restroom; in which case, I won't flush. read more

The work staff seems a little uninformed about what there selling. And seem to have a bad attitude about helping the customers.

I have spent hundreds of dollars at this store over the years. It was a great place when it first opened. Made a recent stop to buy strings then noticed how bad their service has become.3 staff guys were standing around a computer not even aware I was there. It looked like they were in training? One other staff was behind another counter. This store was reorganized,with no accessory counter, I finally found what I needed. I asked about a new model Fender guitar.I was told they would not have it because it cost too much. I asked who would buy it if they can't test it? I had issues checking out paying in cash, clerk had to ask for help from the 3 guys getting training, seems like no one really cares about customers. read more

I have worked for a music store so I know dealer cost on Fender, Gibson, Martin, etc. When I go into our local Guitar Center they always quote me MSRP and when I make them a offer they don't want to deal with me at all ! Seriously in 2011 I wanted to buy 1 black & 1 white Gibson Melody Maker Flying V so I went to G.C. and they quoted me $539.00 for one. I told them they were on ebay for $399 and they said they did not honor ebay's prices and these guitars were made for G.C. only which was a lie, so I went to another Gibson dealer ( Sound Vibrations ) and they did not know about these guitars believe it or not they said the Gibson rep did not tell them about these guitars ( man he was upset ) I asked for one and they said they would sell me a black one for $399 but the white ones were already sold out so I took the receipt I had for the black one and went back to G.C. and told the manager if he did not get me a white one for $399 from another store I would go over his head and go through another G.C. and get one for the price that I wanted to pay, and two days later I had the guitar. Sound Vibrations is not a Gibson dealer any more. Can you blame them for dropping Gibson? A good employee is worth his weight in gold and a bad one will cost you money. I have not bought a new Gibson since and I wont even buy strings or a T shirt from G.C. or even picks! I have had several other bad experience's with them also like when Jack in pro audio said to me he did not want me wasting his electricity when I was playing over an amp that I wanted to buy and testing it out for the first time, and after this happened I said to myself I will buy another guitar from them when they have a going out of business sale! read more

Not only are the employees asking more questions than me, but you have a better chance of driving 2 hours to the valley or san antonio because that's how long I waited to trade in some speakers with nobody in the store. Walked in knowing what I wanted and this was still the worst experience... The total on the screen was wrong 3 different times. Employees walk away for 15 minutes at a time. The are extremely un-informed. All the employees sitting around and could of been helping the one employee who's too friendly to walk away and ask for help. Better off going to Sound Vibes -- support local. read more

This is not a place for band practice little kids!!!

I do not know about any other part of the store. But if you are a Drummer ask for Paul always helpful and I travel long distances to come to this location. He makes me feel like I am an important customer even if its just sticks I am buying. Not a bad thing in this day and time! Be nice if all retail service people were like him!! read more

Put a pair of used Congas in layaway. Had to evacuate due to Harvey. Called the store right after the hurricane, I offered to pay the balance of what was owed, verified my contact information, I was assured that my layaway would be held until I returned back to the island. Called two more times while I was away and again offered to pay the balance both times and again was assured my layaway was being held for me until I returned to the island. I returned week and half after my last call. Early October I was able to return to the island, went to Guitar Center to pick up my congas and found out my congas had been sold. What a lousy way to treat a 20 year longtime customer! Definitely have lost my business! read more

Everytime i've been here i've had a pleasant experience. Since I moved to Corpus, I have spent thousands here(Baby Taylor & Orange AD combo amp) and i'm not disappointed. Yes, it is a smaller GC, but it still has everything I need. I usually get help by not one, but multiple people. Sometimes they just chat it up awhile with me. And when there was a problem with my amp on the delivery, they kept me in contact all the way with full disclosure. Only a 4 star because the hidden anti-large corporation part of me would scream out in defiance at a 5 star. Plus i've heard nasty things about GC being in debt. Bad. And yet I still buy from them. Probably for the same reason I still shop at Walmart. Well...just remember to support your local stores as well! read more

They tried to charge us after they said they wouldn't charge us. We had warranty. Won't be paying y'all 30$! Won't be back. You are horribly rude and truly unprofessional. I would try another store. read more
