    Picked out a $500 nice acoustic I was interested in - brought it out, associate asked me if I was…read moreready, I said I would like a gig bag included with this. She said let me check tag, oh, there isn't one offered on the tag. But I can give you one if you sign up for some lessons!! I said well, I actually am also looking for a Telecaster, so you work on finding me that gig bag while I check out some more guitars. Found a Telecaster I liked for $900 after playing many models. Carried it up to the desk, and a different associate says did you want to purchase that? I said yes, also that acoustic you have behind the desk, but I want two gig bags included. Mind you, at this point, I was the only customer in the store. Four associates and a manager working - do the math on the overhead on that one alone. I did not question paying their ticket price, but I said for $1400 I want a gig bag for each guitar. What does a gig bag cost somebody like Guitar Center wholesale, $5 maybe $10?? I also asked for picks but said I would pay for those... The first associate asked the manager, who stared at her computer and said if the label does not include it, we cannot do it. I was being very personable and laughing and smiling throughout this negotiation, by the way. At that point, I said, OK seriously, you're going to let a $1400 before tax sale walk out the door over a demand for a couple of gig bags that might amount to a whole $25-$30 loss to you guys? Manager stared at her computer, the associates didn't know what to do. I did - I walked out the door. Bought both guitars with hard cases instead for the same initial price of $1400 combined from your competitors online. Good luck and happy trails!

    I really loved this guitar center, it was really clean and well organized. I could tell the workers…read morecared, they were really nice, chill people. it was not weird and I didn't feel rude when I was asking questions, because I knew they wanted to help me out. If I didn't live so far, they would be the only music store I would give business.
