LARRY IS THE MAN FANTASTIC SERVICE!!!I have never had a better buying experience in my life than working with Larry on choosing a semi-hollow/hollow body guitar. Larry knew every single detail and more! FANTASTIC COMMUNICATOR, highly intelligent, logical – yet creative. I can’t stress enough how imperative it is that Guitar Center promote and compensate Larry to the highest degree. Good help is hard to find, great help is Larry!!!Thanks again my friend. Keep showing everyone what service and experience is all about!!!Paul

This is a great guitar center. If youve had bad experiences at other gc, go here. The staff is good, good selection of gear and some high end options. The only reason I wont give it 5 stars is because of one salesman who wont stop talking about his band long enough for you to ask any questions about the 3000$ amps your looking at. Other than that its a top notch store.

We were greeted at the door. Employees were helpful and nice. Lessons are reasonably priced. Employees are knowledgeable yet humble. It was a very good experience for a novice parent!

Good vibes here, sales people arent pushy, always willing to help when asked though. Pretty good selection of everything, wish they would branch out a little from the major brands, even though it seems like recently, especially with electric guitars, they have.

Very Great Costumer Service! Even if they are busy they will take care of you as You deserve! But if you are the next costumer be patient if they are busy cause usually they are.

I went to 4 guitar centers in the surrounding areas and this one was the most complete one. It had a variety of very high end guitars from Fender/PRS i couldnt find in the other ones. Also, the amplifiers they sold were very good ones too (Orange, Fender, Vox) compared to other GC where there were just a pair of old digital fenders or Boss amplifiers.

Worst customer service ever. I walked in and asked the guy standing at the door playing guitar a question. He gave complete BS answers and then told me that they didn’t have a product that I found out later they did actually have. Then he walked me to show me the ones they did have and literally left me on the way to go handle something else. Didn’t even say a word, just walked away from me. THEN he comesBack, I have to actually get his attention and can’t answer a single question about the product I found. He’s completely oblivious and I lead the conversation. I found out more from YOUTUBE than this guy. And I would love bought it there but I ended up ordering it somewhere else.

Never!!Never come to Guitar Center in Dallas Location. I bought a QSC 10.2 Speakers at this location very expensive speak also bought full coverage Warrantee plans for $99 each piece, sale person informed anything going wrong within 24 months bring it back to store where I purchased they will switch out for me the new one. My speak was no power I bring it back and talk to Slate a store manager in Dallas location he told me call 1800. He tried to kich us out and not even try to help solve the problem.Very bad customer, not recommended to no one.Plano Located Ted store manager will 200% better to handle problems!!!

Review №38

The store was very small compared to other Guitar centers. The selection was just okay seems like they cater to beginners now more than anything. The staff was friendly but not as attentive as other GCs they did give us a discount though for a torn box and explained the warranty for a powered speaker which we got a 2 year. Overall I would go to another location.

I remember hating Guitar Center for destroying the smaller guitar shops. Usually they had people who didnt know what the heck they were doing running the stores. I havent been back for close to a decade. I went to this store several times over the last month and found nothing but the best employees that seemed to actually care about their jobs and what they were selling. I will still support the small shops that are open but I didnt really get that icky feeling the Guitar Center used to give me. I recommend this store

Review №44

Helpful staff. They have hand sanitizer around the instruments in case you want to try something out. But mics and things of that nature are covered up. Overall one of the most organized places Ive been to.Update.I went Saturday Jan 10. I was walking close by the microphones and I saw a man in a small enclosed room pull down his mask and talk to his buddy like nothing. And he saw I saw him. And he acted like he didnt see me. Luckily a guy who works there goes up and talks to him and ask him if everything is fine and the guy I saw with his mask down now pulls his mask up. I guess he thought he was going to get in trouble. Im glad the employee was there to talk to him. Because there is a VIRUS spreading.

They have a good selection of guitars, but everything else is low on stock, mainly from Covid 19. Like most brick and mortar stores, everything is going online. They carry less and less in their stores. Pretty much, they are the only game in town though, so love them or not, you are stuck.

This place is a joke.. I bought a mic 9-3-19 got a 24 month replacement plan because the employee advise me to get it. My brother brought it in yesterday and was told since the coverage was under my name I had to come in and show id so I did and now they are telling me I have to call some other number and follow some procedures which the first employee never told me I had to do or the second. I don’t want my money back I just wanted a simple exchange cause this mic just stopped working. These employees shouldn’t just try and upsale without lying to customers

The lady with Black hair and glasses was very rude. Their was a homeless guy in their looking around and one of the guy store clerks was nice enough to let him stay even though he did have a smell. A little bit later the lady I mentioned just came out and started spraying febreeze while the man was still their in the keyboard section. The thing is, they should have politely asked him to leave instead of treating him like he was a nobody. I was in shock!! Please talk to her and the staff to let them know to be sensitive to every single guest. Thank you.

Guitar Center is one of those places where you pay more than you would if you bought it on Amazon, but you get so much more through the experience. There staff is very friendly and tends to be quite knowledgeable. Being able to play with the instruments makes a huge difference, and they often have used items at reasonable prices. There are certainly other stores that have earned great and week deserved reputations, but if you dont know about them Guitar Center is a good start.

Review №74

Have been in last two times and several of the keyboards are not even plugged in. No power. No sound. What is the point of having boards available to test before buying if you can not even play them???For some reason at this location; there is always a random dude playing a piano at maxed volume. No way to even hear yourself think or play. Had to leave and go down the road to Sam Ash to be able to try the Yamaha Montage!

These people did great. Had what I was looking for, got a really super low price. They seem to be able to beat competitors prices, but you have to ask. More inventory than other stores. Managers note: I think the salespeople could stand to be a bit more personable.

Man I came here to do a return. Then they told me about the credit card and how to apply. I applied and got approved so I was like why not get something. This dude name Eric was super funny and very helpful to me. He recommended me these headphones for mixing since I am a producer. And boy am i in love with them. Thank you so much Eric for the kind hospitality you had towards me and my wife. I definitely recommend this place. Very nice staff

Went in just to look and walked out with a beautiful Washburn cutaway acoustic electric. The salesman was so friendly and helpful. It was the last guitar of that kind so it had no box. He found me an extra box and when he noticed I was struggling with the box, he rushed over to take it to my car. This is the fourth guitar Ive bought from Guitar Center. I would post a picture of it, but my husband and I are driving home, and its in the back.

Normally this place would get 5 stars thanks to Chad. My hubby has been doing business with Chad at this location for many years and has spent thousands of dollars at this location. But unfortunately his conversation with Carlos did not go well at all. My husband was told by Carlos that he did not have time to assist him on the phone and was extremely rude. Not impressed at all by this behavior. Learn better customer service skills or dont work with the public!!

This location has better staff than Plano. I asked for a type of pick i wanted and the guy that greeted me let me use a pick he had in a small pouch he had around his neck. Then got the guitar down that i wanted to play. Answered my questions about the amp i was playing then checked back with me a few times times to make sure all was good. I didnt even buy anything. Plano, you dont get anything close to that
