I knew y'all was on the level by the way I was treated the first time I went in a year or so ago just to get some strings. XLNT salesperson not a high pressure "oh that's all you want, over there". I didn't have to listen to a resume or someone telling me what I wanted. I was treated like a customer with respect for my needs. It might be 60mi to your place, but you have a customer for life just from strings, picks, and a cheap music stand, and will be seeing ya soon when I get another amp or guitar.

Unbelievable Got a…read morecall from Guitar Center in Tyler Texas Friday night. Connor told me not to bother coming in the next day for my guitar lesson. He explained they had a new policy that they only offer lessons to those that commit to weekly lessons on the same day and time of the week. Apparently my every other Friday alternating to Saturdays on the other weeks is not good for their instructors. Our question to the asst manager was how can business turn away paying customers? Their response was that they are the #1 of 250 stores in their region and don't have to worry about sales. I work in business and predict they won't stay at #1 very long with this new policy. There is however good news. Sweetwater is thankful to Guitar Center for today's order of my new Taylor CE 314 and a rumor that a Vox C15 amp for my Strat might be under the Christmas tree this year. Thank you Sweetwater.

I have been double business with them since 1994. If they don't have it they will get it for you. I will always shop here for my music needs before going anywhere else.

Steve spend an entire day installing a pickup on my pedal steel guitar (he'd never worked on one before) and only charged me a couple hours labor but saved me the trouble of shipping it or driving it four hours away to the nearest pedal steel tech I could find.
