I haven't been to Guitar Center in forever! There was an ad for a free guitar lesson/open house and…read moreI will forever do something random that is free. The air wasn't working and Jacob (my instructor) and I were definitely sweating like we were in a sauna. Lol He was great though as far as answering questions and being patient. I didn't necessarily get far, but I did get an idea of how to play a few notes on an electric guitar and I actually had fun learning. He also helped me pick out a couple of starter guitars that were cheap if I wanted to just grab something, but not feel like I wasted money if I didn't use it often. The manager, Brandon, checked in before my lesson and after. Both individuals were personable. Tip: Go ahead and have an idea of what you would like to play and have a song in mind. I was under the impression that they had select guitars that they would allow you to use and that there were set songs to choose from but I was wrong. It is nice that you have choices though!

For an update The Guitar Center manager call me shortly after my original post and said he would…read morehelp me if I would come in and see him. He said he had only been at that store a short while. To make a long story short I went in, and he was very nice and helped me pick out different guitar and I am very pleased with it and the service he gave. I'm sorry I forgot his name.

****UPDATE***** A representative from Wade's called and said…read morethey wanted to make things right. They resolved the situation in a completely satisfactory manner. I was relieved to receive the call because I enjoy shopping at Wades. The employees are great to work with, the store is always immaculate and they always have a great selection. I made a point to speak with the Manager to let him know I appreciated dealing with an organization with integrity. As a result of the outcome, Wade's will be my "go to" shop. Purchased a firearm from there. Had problems immediately. Sent it back to the factory and was told the ramp on the barrel had been "severely" altered and would not fall under warranty. Took it back to Wades, spoke with the Manager he said he would do nothing about it because "I" sent it back to the factory. What's the difference the barrel has been severely altered, the factory would have told him the same thing. He said they could give me a break on my "next gun". Fat chance of that happening. I now have a $700 wall hanger because of Wades Pawn Shop. DO NOT BUY GUNS (or anything) FROM THEM.
