So I had a Strat that needed to get the saddles adjusted and this guy named John fixed it perfectly and even did more than that. He also showed me an Amp and sold me on it. Everybody else there were friends with each other and super nice to all the customers. Thank you John and everyone else here. GO HERE, it is truly an amazing place to get repairs and they have a very wide variety of guitars, keyboards, microphones, basses, etc. 5 stars isn’t even enough to account for my experience. 12 stars.

I have to say that the people at the Guitar Center in Allen Park are very nice! Helped us pick an electronic drum for our son. On this most recent visit I signed up for guitar lessons and since everyone was so nice and helpful we signed our son up for drum lessons! I hope you all keep the mindset you have. I’m grateful.

My son and I visited the Allen Park, MI Guitar Center on 6/5/21. The mission was to find a new 5-string bass for my son. While there, I headed into the keyboard area (I took lessons as a child but havent played since 1989 or so). Kyle approached me and we just started chatting. I appreciated his easy going, relaxed nature. As we talked, he asked if I ever thought about playing again and my answer was all the time, but I dont have a lot of free time. He explained to me that they had some great keyboards without a lot of money out of pocket. So, I ended up purchasing a Casio CDP S350 that they had on sale. Im glad that I did! I love this unit and have already downloaded an app to help be get reacquainted with the keys. Thank you, Kyle, for your assistance and your calm and reassuring demeanor. Your kind words about playing an instrument struck a chord with me. If youre Kyles manager and reading this, please mentor him and help him grow. I work in sales and see a lot of potential in this young man!

If you need to grab a cable in a pinch, building a bedroom demo studio, or looking to buy a guitar or drums; its a good place to go. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the stuff they stock.If youre a beginner or just need to pick up little odds and ends (cables, picks, tuners, etc), its a great place to go.

Worst customer service EVER! Sales rep 1 went to the back to see if they had the gear that the website said they had, 10 minutes later I see him leaving and saying good bye to sales rep 2, who by the way was clueless and couldnt answer the simplest questions. Manager was downright rude and offered no help either. If I HAVE to have something today Ill drive the 30 miles one way and shop at the Canton or Roseville stores. But honestly, I went home and ordered from Chicago Music Exchange and had a marvelous experience. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE.

This place is awesome, I have been going to this store a couple times a week for the past 2 months. The sales team and workers here are very knowledgeable and will go out of their way to help you have the best experience possible at a music store. A special thanks to Jerome, Scott, Amy and Nate. They have been so helpful in helping not only pick out some good equipment for my grandkids but also answering every and all questions that I have. I plan on taking my grandkids up there just to meet them so I can tell the kids here is the team that made it possible for me to get your equipment.Great customer service and very polite, service like this makes you feel like family and will keep me coming back to this store for all my musical needs. Once again I would like to say thank you and I will highly recommend your store to all my friends.Guitar Center Rocks 🎸

Review №13

Nice enough store. However, felt like any question I could have asked would have been bothersome. Additionally the delivery of any answer to said questions was rather rude, perhaps more careless is a better description, and tonally void of quote friendliness.The associates name was Nate.I was buying a $299.99 Banjo to try to get into playing. Something to learn on. A Savannah. I couldnt justify the $60 2 year insurance.Nates response to me declining was, I dont know man, looks like alot of small parts. Like something could go wrong.Again in a very annoyed tone...I also asked about finger picks and he just pointed at the rack and said anything theyd have would be at the bottom.Then I wanted to look at a boss loop pedal for my electric and asked about it. He was slightly willing to guide me there but didnt offer to stick around to answer questions. Which I had...My visit feels tarnished so hopefully my enthusiasm for this hobby sticks when I get my Banjo home.Also when I asked about a box or a case, they had neither. Id have to leave case less or with a guitar case that wouldnt fit.Left the store with it in my hands feeling even worse about my visit.Thanks guys.

Well, this is a great place for artists of all levels to come hand in hand and learn from each other. Where else can you go with such a large selection of instruments and devices and play them for free? Try it before you buy it!!! I just wanted to say something before I go. To be inspired means one must desire to inspire another. The best musician is the one who desires to be the best they can be and not see themselves as being better than another. Great life philosophical tool to engrain inside the brain. Spread it onnnnn!!!Team AP, you guys and gals are great!!! Peace!!!

Review №23

I haven’t specifically been in person to this store, I’m sure the employees are fantastic and helpful. I have, however, received a guitar from this store along with a call from the manager Alyssa. I purchased a $750 Breedlove Organic Granadillo guitar and shortly after received a call from Alyssa. She let me know that the guitar had been in their humidified acoustic room and was in excellent condition. I expressed my discomfort with receiving a floor model while paying the full price for the guitar, however, she assured me that the guitar was in excellent/like new condition. On top of her assurance, she let me know that Guitar Center didn’t have many of the model left so the odds I found one in box were slim. I received the guitar today and upon unwrapping I found multiple deficiencies in the finish, cracking where the neck attaches to the body, and a large scratch on the back completely ruining the granadillo aesthetic. Needless to say, I’m disappointed with my purchase.Edit: the manager reached out personally via email which was a nice gesture. The cracking around the neck could’ve been shipping but the scratch was probably. Moral of the story is to only buy guitars you’ve seen in person. I have since ordered a new, in box version from a separate store.

Ive got a short timetable to get some pickups for my strat. I saw on the Guitar Center App that the ones Im looking for were In Stock and Available Today. Placed the order. Several hours later I called just to see if I could get a time table that I could plan my day around they came back with its on the truck, wait for the email to say that your order is ready. 4 hours after that my window for being able to get them is closing quick, I called back and the guy I talked to said he had no idea when theyd be able to get these pickups off the truck, it could be tonight, it could be tomorrow. I ended up cancelling the order, Ill go elsewhere. Regardless of whether or not the App/Site made promises it couldnt keep or the Guitar Center employee wasnt willing to go out of their way to help me out, Guitar Center let me down.

They have a great selection of guitars. The instruments are sometimes in rough shape. Many have well warn strings. Staff is helpful for the most part. Not too excited to make deals but ask anyway. Pay attention to the guitar you want and make sure it leaves the store with you how you want it. The greatest thing is the 45 day return policy. Every guitar sounds different when you get it home. You no like? Just return it.

Great place to buy instruments and accessories for your instruments. Always a great experience. Employees are very helpful and experienced.

The employees here are all knowledgeable and passionate about music. If you need help theyre always ready to assist you, even if youre not buying that day. Ive never felt badgered to make a purchase or open a line of credit by any employee. In fact most employees are just as happy to give you information as to sell you something. Everyone here is polite and helpful.

I literally just wanted to buy a laptop stand. Pro audio guy was pretty busy so naturally I asked one of the other 10 employees in the store to show me where they are. He said Id have to ask pro audio. You cant help me find where something is located in the store you work in?? I just wanted to grab one so I could pay for it nothing more. After not being able to get a word in with the pro audio guy for twenty minutes I left. The best part is the store manager walked past me few times while I was waiting for pro audio to finish his transaction. No hello or is there anything I can help with. Sad because Allen Park is much closer to my home but I will gladly make the trip to the Canton store if it means somebody will actually want to sell me something.

As Guitar Centers go, there are better locations than this. You know what youre getting with the big box store: great prices on strings & most accessories, & lots of instruments. Less variety here. Many instruments are far out of reach & service is a little distant. Be ready to do a lot of tuning.

Visited today on 7-12-2020. This place is great. The staff here are super helpful in every way. I had a return from Christmas for an incomplete bass package that was delayed due to covid19 and finally got in there today to get it straightened out. They went all the way. Lisa took care of the exchange like a pro, and both John and Bubba took care of the instrument to make sure it was on point before leaving the store. If you have any questions about if Guitar Center in Allen Park is where you should go, then take this review as gospel. You wont leave empty handed or with regret. Big thanks to lisa, John, Bubba and the gang at Guitar Center. Youre the best. 🤘❤

Review №84

I dont want to say lower quality than other guitar centers but you can tell people dont visit it as often as others. There are very few used items in the store which can make it hard to find a good deal. They havent had a tech for a while but now I believe they have one, you should call first if thats what youre going in for. Store is decent size but is usually pretty empty (maybe thats a good thing). But you probably wont be able to crank anything even a little. The setup is actually pretty nice but Ive visited better guitar centers.

Staff is super friendly at this location, maybe even more so that the other locations Ive been too on the metro Detroit area but they have all been pretty cool.

The parts counter usually has the parts Im looking for in stock as well.

This place has really come along way... Its my home of homes for guitar center.. a far cry from what is was a couple years ago.. managment has really turned things around with getting good help and people who care.... Now if I could just get them to carry more equipment and better selection in store like the other 3 in the metro Detroit area this would make em perfect.... I guess we can try wait and see... But overall they are the best a customer service, and if they dont have it they will help you get it... 5 stars all the way.. Been going here for years, and its at its best!!!

Lisa at Guitar Center Allen Park MI is the most understanding staff weve ever spoken with. We had a huge problem with our order, a gift for our sons 18th birthday, and found out his gift would not arrove on time. Lisa listened, empathized, and was very kind to my husband and I. She immediately sought for advise from her Supervisor, and took care of our problem so quickly. She even said she will be the one to help pack and ship my sons gift to ensure it leaves on time, and then called us back a few minutes later woth the tracking#. She didnt through all the lengths, but she did, with a very kind and professional manner. She was happy to help. We felt her eagerness to help solve the problem...which we will never forget.We are definitely going to be repeat customers. Eventhough we live in CA, we will make our attempts to place our future orders at Allen Park MI because they exceeded our expectations.Thanks so much GC Allen Park MI!!!Guitar Center is extremely very lucky to have Lisa and her team working for them... they are awesome!!!
