Great service and prices. Paul and Adam provided patient and courteous service despite being overwhelmed by customers and phone calls. Large selection of guitars, acoustic and electric; electric pianos, drums, etc. Convenient parking. Easy to get to via the Meadowbrook Parkway. We will be back when our kids want to trade in for better equipment.

I've been coming to this GC for years and about 4 times in the last month. It's nice be able to pop in and try out a few guitars and amp without feeling any pressure to buy. The staff are very helpful and will answer any questions when asked. I love going into the back rooms and playing with some of their exquisite $1-2k+ guitars. If I lived closer, I'd probably be here at least every other day.

Mr. Tyler rocks!

Many thanks to Ms. Dana C. and Mr. Tyler for helping to make my son's birthday extra special. My son wanted a "Guitar Center birthday" and Tyler did a great job helping my son and 5 of his friends explore different percussion instruments while jamming along to different rock and indie classics (Beatles, Weezer, Harry Nilsson, Neutral Milk Hotel, etc.). Staff went above and beyond by making special "staff" badges for the kids and supplying kazoos, shakers, and bottles of cold water. I know that Guitar Center does not typically do birthday parties, but I appreciate the Lessons team for helping to make my son's birthday unforgettable.

I am not really sure why this store get so many low stars. We have visited here a few times an have found the staff very attentive and friendly. Unlike the store of he similar type in the area, the guitars are right in front of you when you come in the door. WOW! They are every where, duh, the reason the name Guitar Center. Back to the review.... We were looking for a Bass guitar and were having difficulty finding one that was light enough for G to hold comfortably. Alternative Bass Acoustic were being offered at other stores which were lighter but were not what G wanted. Amazingly here the sales associate went over to the wall and found the perfect Bass guitar for G and it was light. I don't think I have ever seen G happier to find a new toy. It totally brought out the 14 year old in him. The store was relatively busy, and we were sure that making sales was important so we gave the salesman permission to help others while we discussed price and accessories etc. The laid back experience allowed us time to look around at guitar strap and other thing that G would need to accompany his new toy. During the visit we also inquired about the in house guitar lessons. G opted to call back and reschedule his lessons because they did not have the actual guitar in stock. When the guitar finally came in, G took his free lesson and was very impressed with the quality of the lesson and was looking forward to taking actual hour long lessons. We were very pleased with Marty who was our salesman and would recommend anyone starting out to contact him if you have any questions. He can definitely guide you in the direction you need to go as far as your first guitar and staying within your budget range. We were very pleased with the transaction. I am looking forward to hearing G play many a tune in the man cave.

Classic Drum section, electronic drums in the rear.

I wasted so much time here and still didn't get what I needed. Extremely unprofessional staff and understaffed always.

Good items can be found but they won't accept trades after telling you to bring in everything! I was not happy in Commack

My family was very happy with the service we received here last week. Our original intent was to…read morefind a rental violin for Kid2, as well as see what they might have in stock for kid1. Upon entry we were greeted by Omar, the store manager. He immediately sized my daughter, and went to the stock room to find a few that were her size. For a full school year rental of a junior violin, the cost was $90 + $20 service fee (tuning cleaning) + $5 rosin, a total of $115 before tax for 9 months rental ( End Sept to End Oct). Additionally, there is a grace period of 10 days after the final June 20 contract date that you can return the instrument without penalty. That takes a little bit of stress off our backs to rush to the store for the return. Given that Kid2 had never played the violin, but now needed one for school, I appreciated Omar's knowledge and feedback on things we needed, and unnecessary, there was never any pressure or upsell here. Meanwhile, another staff member, Ricky, was patient with Hubs and Kid1 as they were perusing the guitar section. While the store had a nice variety of full size acoutic & electric guitars, they only had 1 type of junior-size guitar ($79 in 2 colors, red & blue). Both Omar & Ricky were very patient with all my questions, and even allowed me to see what they had in stock when I asked about accordians (which, FYI, they generally do not carry new, and they only have old accordians in stock to sell AS-IS). We were happy with the service we received at this store. Highly recommend them if you're in need of a rental instrument, especially for kids.

As I walked in, an associate greeted me right away and ask if he could be of any assistance. I was…read moregiven a catalog to show an alternative for my request- it is for an alto sax reed (mouthpiece). It is not currently available at their store. They could order it for me but it won't arrive to the day I need it. The associate explained to be the difference between the two. He suggested to me to ask my brother if what they have can be an acceptable replacement. He mentioned what's available in their store and the price for the piece. It was a direct to the point service. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. The store has a good old fashioned appeal. I wish I could browse what's in their store and stay longer for today. I am seeing myself coming here again. Good location. Metered parking in front of the store.
