    My Martin
    Richard N.

    Phones are a mess. Don't expect proficient customer service. Not enough staff. Ordered my Martin, wrong one came. Had guitar lesson and the drums were so loud in next room, even my teacher had to go tell them to quiet down. And they gave me 8 days to put a pick up in my Martin and it's day 7 and hasn't been touched. I'm so disappointed in this location.

    This Guitar Center is THE primo store. Based in Hollywood so you never know who you could see shopping there. Very good selection of drum kits, keyboards, guitars, & anything else for the musician. Be sure to walk out front & check out the famous hand prints & plaques.

    I would like to start by shouting Vega out from the location off Pico in the Westwood area. I went over there not knowing they closed that location down and he was cool and talked to us for a bit. This Sunset location is awesome. It's huge and has so much selection from every instrument. Everyone that has approached me has been super cool and I spoke to one gentleman about guitar lessons. I actually plan on buying a new guitar soon and picking up some lessons. Highly recommend this place to come see some fun signed guitars or the band handprints from bands as you walk in. I got to play some drums and it really brought me back to some good old days. I look forward to coming back with my kid so she can play some instruments.

    Mike Great person to work with! Very efficient and fast he clearly loves what he does. His prices are reasonable, and he's extremely accurate in his observations. He adjusted my bass and fixed my pickups perfectly. He really knows his stuff!

    Guitar Center repair shop offers great customer service. I came in at one in the afternoon with an intermittent wiring issue on my acoustic / electric and Zach was there and took care of it in less than 15 minutes. The other repair shops make you wait a week before you can even call them to see if anything's been done on your instrument. Guitar Center charged the fair price of $45 which I was happy about. Their excellent Customer Service is better than other repair shops I've gone to for repairs. GC is my new go-to for service and repairs.

    If you are looking to purchase a guitar don't look any further just head down to Guitar Center. They have it all. Any budget any size and quality. What a great selection of electric guitars and acoustic as well. The staff is knowledge and will help you choose the right one. They also have other instruments and accessories. They also offer classes on the second floor. Overall a great place to shop from

    Came here for a simple repair on my Les Paul and got it back perfectly! Zack was friendly and got the job done quickly.

    Is there a trick to getting someone on the phone? I've been calling for a couple of days as I can't make it to the store and it just rings out every time. Not even an answer phone.

    you're going to have to go in person sadly. if you call a specific department (super niche) then ask to be transferred to the correct department you may have more luck. if you can, i would go in person -- however you mentioned that you can't make it… Read more

    Does anyone know if they sell turntables? specifically the lp120?

    yes they do

    Does anyone know if Guitar Centers are open for in store shopping? I called two GC's but no answer so not even sure how the curbside pickup would work if no one is there.

    Yes they are, I am waiting in line at the Hollywood location. They are limiting the amount of customers that are in store at one time. But they are open for in store shopping.

    Also Cory, and Dracy, both, were quick to give me help with an exchange and a return with no attitude, just easy help.

    This place stole my equipment all my vintage guitars and amps ,mind you I was in the hospital at…read morethe time and sent my family to get my things and they lied about having my gear .I was lucky to survive my hospital stay ,do not use them ,family I think not !be warned

    Drastic times call for drastic measures…read more If you need to hock something, this is *the* place to go! First, they are open on Sundays, unlike pretty much every other pawn shop in town. So there's the convenience factor. Next, it's family-owned, not some big corporate offshoot of BofA or whoever, and their payday loan subsidiary that's staffed by surly unshaven bums. The Brothers are actually brothers, and their mom is often there, too. She'll come out from the back occasionally and pass out candies. The shop itself is a fun browse - they seem to favor old radios and antique-y things - usually one of the vintage vacuum-tube radios is playing the Classical station, depending on which of the brothers is in that day. Rudy tends to go for the classical. Ernie seems to lay off the radios. This shop also tends to have more art than others. There is a very nice bronze sculpture there now. Musical instruments are also a specialty at this shop. Of course, jewelry of all kinds is available, and always welcome if you need a loan. They really know watches. The really good thing about this pawnshop, what really sets it apart from the others, is the guys who work there. Particularly Rudy and Ernie, the "Brothers" who own the place, and Cameron, who's been there a long time. They actually care. They are friendly and understanding, not cold and brusque like you'd expect from a pawnbroker. They aren't there just to take your stuff - I think they actually want you to get through whatever tough patch it is that brought you there with your jewelry or whatever. If they can't give you as much as you want for whatever you bring in, they actually sound a bit apologetic about it. These are nice people, and when you need to hock something, that goes a long way, too. One of the guys there told me that they have a very low percentage of people who don't eventually redeem their stuff, and he was quite proud of it. I don't recall exactly, but I think it was something fewer than 10% who don't manage to eventually get their things back. I've bought stuff there, and I've pawned stuff there, for probably 10 years. So, if you find yourself in need of a pawnshop, I give this one my highest recommendation.
