Guitar Center - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Evansville, Indiana

Probably 8 people working in there. Like 1-2 other customers. I stood in front of the cases wanting help. No less than 6 employees walked between me & the cases. All had their heads down. No one said a word to me. read more

GC is a national chain. From coast to coast you find them. I was amazed Evansville had one centrally located. As a bedroom deejay and electronic musician I visited this branch often. I found the staff as expected friendly and helpful. I purchased a set of reasonably priced congas and was helped by a drum specialist who even had experience with latin percussion. All this in Evansville who knew? read more

All Guitar Centers are not created equal. As a keyboard player there are not many options in the Evansville area. I live nearly an hour a way. I called the Evansville store to see if they had a Roland Fantom 08 and asked for the keyboard department. When the guy came to the phone and I asked him if they had it is stock, his question to me, "How to you spell Roland." Are you kidding me? This is your keyboard salesperson. How unprofessional. I will continue to call Sweetwater I suppose. Would like to spend my money locally, but Guitar Center Evansville doesn't deserve my hard earned money. read more

I have people who frequent this store. I'm still a little mad they jacked me out of $10 and gave me the wrong sized skin. You are like 1 hour away...thanks for making me go back and screwing me out of my $10 read more

Gretsch has Evansville Guitar Center listed as an authorized sales and service center. They will not do warranty work on my Gretsch because I did not buy it from them. Going to contact upper mgmt and see what the problem is. read more

Good store for guitars. But when it came to keyboards. Synthesizers and dj equipment.. Nothing was hooked up no power to any of the gear. Hard to buy something if you can play it. I asked the guy to hook one up and had to search the store for a power adapter for the synth and the speakers (took about 10min) read more

They were fine until I tried price matching with amazon for the same drum thrown and acted sketchy.

Staff was completely nice and courteous. I never felt like I was being pushed into buying anything. For a beginner musician they made us feel comfortable and answered every question without making us feel like we were out of place. Prices seemed very competitive. We will return for more business read more

Pretty nice guitar center. Really helpful staff and pretty good layout. Alex and the dude with the beard (dont know his name) are both pretty cool. UPDATE: There selection has gotten a lot worse and they've removed the shelves amps used to be on so they're all in the middle of the floor. It's hard to try out a guitar when you can hear everything everyone plays very loudly. They need some shelving to block sound. read more

This is the best music store I have ever been to, if you are new to instruments or have been playing for along time there are large varieties of instruments and it's good for buying a starter instrument and also nice and expensive instruments, the prices are good the instruments are high quality and the employees are helpful and nice and it's a good place to hang out and maybe learn something new about an instrument. read more

Hey Guitar Center, Maybe Bigger Isn't Better We have all heard the claims that big business has stolen away part of what makes our country great. Discounted prices have become so overwhelmingly important, that service and integrity have been thrown to the wayside. This is what many of my elders and others who remember fondly "the better days" would have us think. After a visit to the local Guitar Center, I began to recognize there may be some truth in those statements. In May of this year I went to a Guitar Center store to look around. My birthday was coming up and I felt like buying myself something (pathetic, I know). I looked around at the extensive amount of merchandise they carry and decided upon the right item for me. It was a Martin X0001, a very nice and somewhat expensive guitar. I made my purchase, grabbed my new toy, and headed off. I have to say the visit itself was not unpleasant, aside from my wallet being quite a bit lighter afterwards. The problem began once I got home. After playing the instrument for a longer period of time, I began to notice that it had a string that did not ring clearly on a particular fret. The guitar came with a thirty-day guarantee, so I wasn't worried about any potential issues with return. I decided to take it back to the store. Upon speaking with the manager, I was assured that the problem would be fixed within a couple hours. After a short period of time, the manager called to let me know I could come by and pick up my guitar. As I walked in the door, I noticed a previously unseen employee standing beside the manager, waiting for me. When I approached, the manager smiled and handed me the instrument, but I couldn't help but notice the other employee glowering at me. As I began to walk out he said, "What did you do to it?" Having just bought the guitar a few days before, and obviously not having the skills to work on them, I was somewhat surprised by the question. "No I haven't worked on it, that's why I brought it here," I said. "Well this bridge has been filed down and glued in and Martin (the guitar manufacturer) doesn't do that. And we sure as hell don't." Well if I didn't do it, and they didn't do it, I guess that only left one option. I asked him, "So are you saying that someone snuck in my apartment in the middle of the night, and tweaked the setup of my guitar?" "Yeah, I guess they must have," was his reply. I paused for a moment, being a little stunned by not only his arrogance but also by his manager's lack of restraint. Composed, I said, "Honestly, I don't appreciate the way I am being spoken to, and I will never be back." And I haven't. I admit, it is nice to go to a store and have all the choices, better prices, and flashy advertising. But never once have I been to a local musical shop and received treatment like that. I must also admit that Guitar Center as a corporation cannot be held completely responsible as they cannot monitor every single employee. But the purpose of the hierarchy of employee, manager, supervisor, etc., is to make sure that these individual mistakes are taken care of on a micro to a macro level. The manager had witnessed the entire situation and did nothing. To me, that speaks volumes about Guitar Center as a whole. I'm sure most of you are like me; you work hard for your money. I don't want to pay someone to treat me like garbage. I also don't want to go broke trying to support every small business that has its doors open. But what I can do and what I will do is stay away from the places that take my money, then turn around and treat me as though my business does not matter. If that is the case, then I will gladly pay a few more dollars to receive the respect that I give and deserve in return. read more
