    Nice Guitar Center, pretty big. Has an upstairs and downstairs. Employees are helpful and nice. Not too crowded as well which I appreciate. I would recommend coming here for anything music related.

    My son recently started guitar lessons, so we decided to purchase a guitar before his in-person lessons began. I called the store three times to inquire if they carried half-size guitars. During the first call, I was placed on hold for 15 minutes without anyone responding, so I hung up and tried again. On the next two attempts, my calls were completely ignored, which was already frustrating. Still, I decided to visit the store in person to make the purchase. Upon entering, I politely greeted the staff and explained that I was there to buy a half-size guitar for my son. The employees not only acted extremely rude, but their behavior felt discriminatory. It was clear they were judging me and making assumptions about my ability to afford the guitar, which was both offensive and disheartening. I was shocked by their lack of professionalism and basic courtesy, and I left the store feeling unwelcome. I would not recommend this place to anyone based on my experience

    They now (Feb 2025) lock up ANY acoustic guitar $700 or more. Total hassle and won't come here again. I've bout $10k of guitars from GC.

    Selection wasn't great. I thought it would be something Spey, given the location.No better than any other GC, though.

    THE very best guitar tech in the five boroughs. Matt Brewster transformed a vintage Gibson Firebird…read moreI'd picked up for about half price, because it had been tampered with, wired wrong,and just all wrong. In just about 2-3 days, he found a big issue that the last tech had missed. I got phone calls on the progress, he asked permission before doing a fret level and polish, and replaced the tuners, full setup, fret level and he transformed it from a "player's project" into an Instrument that played like a new Gibson. The price I paid for the work was so fair, I know him and his techs worked on that thing for days. Everyone at the shop knew about its progress, and they all seemed proud of their work. Good Vibes, Honesty, and integrity along with getting a tech that's mentioned in Rig Rundowns, he works on Rock Star's guitars, and you'll get the same quality work as those celebs on Rig Rundown for the same price a local music shop charges. Matt, Chris and everyone working at 30th street always greet me with smiles and warmth. That is the cherry on the sundae. Retail professionalism along with the best setup man in NYC, these are rock solid fellas.

Called Matt and he said it was my problem because I lived near the beach?. Truss rod not functional, how is that my problem?. Accused me of having buyer's remorse?. Finally returned the guitar but it left a bad taste in my mouth. He's great with name players, but he's really an A hole!.

    Rudy's Music - The actual tuner was not broken so I don't know why they kept my original Martin hardware and used this clearly inferior product.
