We came to sell a guitar and unfortunately had a pretty rough experience. I went to use the…read morebathroom right after going in and it was a downright horrible experience. The toilet had urine all over the backside, and there was no toilet paper! Our problems only started there after I opened the guitar case up and the guy Bob working the register was overreacting negatively on the condition of the guitar. It needed to be restrung and was missing a pin but otherwise the guitar was in great shape being over a decade old. He was acting like the guitar was banged up. The body and neck of the guitar have 0 damage and tuner worked fine. A coworker remarked that he had a pin laying around for it and it's a guitar shop so getting strings in bulk prices doesn't seem like a good reason to give me such a big lowball offer. He stated a reverb price he saw that I cannot find for the life of me but can easily find my same guitar for 200 more than he found it for and that's for a used condition. I saw 799 mint condition, 600 used. I got offered 200. I only expected to get 40-50% of the guitars value and I might have sold the guitar just to get it off my hands but his demeanor ended up being the reason why we couldn't bear to sell it to guitar center. He made negative remarks about his other coworkers to us for some reason. Needs a new job. Honestly I wouldn't consider even shopping there again.

I totally love this store. I've been to Guitar Centers all over the Southeast and I must say that…read morethis is the cleanest, most well organized one I've seen. The staff are super helpful and friendly. I just needed a stand for my Theremin and almost walked out with a new Moog Synth and Theremin. Also, I needed one tuning key for my Telecaster. Brandon the manager gave me one out of the back instead of up selling me a set of 6. I could have bought a single one on eBay for like $8, but he just gave me one. That's why I'll be back often and spend more money. I'm a terrible musician but with practice and the right gear, 2024 might be my year.
