I'm not sure what's going on with guitar center these days but this particular one sucks. I ordered…read morea five string precision base used from the store and all they did was tune it and shove it in a box no polishing no new strings no set up. Far away one of the worst stores in the guitar center chain. I've ordered a number of guitars from this particular store to be shipped to Virginia and every single time the guitar arrive with used beat up nasty strings dirt all over the bridge and all over the pick ups. Musical go around seems like a healthy alternative to this piece of shit company! I spent over $500 to get a dirty instrument

Went in hunting for a Les Paul Studio Ebony 50s special edition now that Epi stopped making them…read more On the floor they had a new stock 2024 Epiphone. I talked to the rep Bobby about how I was on the fence and left. guy knew his stuff, we went through a bunch of Gibsons and he revealed he had a gorgeous gold top Gibson 50s with the p90s and he said "it was the best pickup", which I agree with and rarely hear. Went back to Epiphone to see how many they had left and the p90 was off of their product page. I left but had a bad feeling. I wasn't the only one looking. I called and Andy, the manager picked up. I said "I was looking for Bobby" and he asked if I was Brock. Now I'm just impressed. I come back after work, grab the guitar. I barely get the words "it does have some cosmetic wear" out and Andy hooks me up with a deal and a case. I walked out way under sticker. Not only that, but Bobby and Andy know their stuff. We joked the whole time. Joked about common tropes with Gibson and Epiphone. I was out the door in 25-30 minutes. But moreso, I know this store better now and my Epi looks and sounds unlike any other guitar I've ever had. I was so excited I left my phone and wallet at the counter, which was hilarious. Bobby and Andy, thank you endlessly for this. It was an unexpected surprise.

As a director and a parent, Marks has given me extremely competitive deals for instrument purchases. Their repair shop is excellent- we have a Buffet R13 worked on there (also purchased there). It came back this time playing better than it did when we first got it out of the case. Marks often hand picks the instruments they keep in stock- a huge deal in the clarinet world. They have great instructors for private lessons. The care they show cannot be matched by online retailers. It is always a great day stopping by Marks Music.
