Reviews of Guitar Center

Russ

I did an in-store return of a guitar purchased online from another location and I purchased a used amp. The staff made my return painless and were reasonably helpful and friendly. I would definitely consider stopping by / buying a guitar online from them in the future.

Guitar Center at Plymouth Meeting has a very good selection of guitars again post-pandemic. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Some inventory is still low like luthier supplies, pedals, etc. There are some expensive Martins and other guitars locked up, but you can easily find many budget and mid-range models here.

Robert Jones

Consistently inconsistent. Been going here since they opened this location, I don't know, 20 years ago? They were the cooler alternative to Sam Ash back then because it was younger musicians working there, they had much more to choose from, and the prices were a little better. That changed though, and over the years they've definitely become pretty much exactly like Sam Ash, and I'd even argue that for certain things, Sam Ash is preferable. I've had good experiences there, I've had not good experiences there. Never extraordinary enough for 5 stars, never horrendous enough for just 1. I think my experience today exemplifies this. I went in specifically for a pair of drum sticks for my son. A pair that his band teacher recommended. They had them in a pack if four, but not just a pair. Ok, no big deal, I know they'll be used. So I took them and walked around the store to see if I could find any gift ideas. In pro audio I found a Warm Audio WA87, I've been looking at getting a WA67 for a while now. It was used, and priced low enough that I was going to buy it, just wanted to find out more. I waited a bit, someone came in and went behind the counter, so I was like, "hey, what's the deal with this WA87? It's pretty cheap." He goes, "I have no idea..." and I just looked at him confused and said, "oh." After a few seconds, he started walking away and says, "I work in guitars, I was just dropping something off." And that was it. He didn't grab anyone to help me, he didn't offer any help or solutions to get help. I spend a good deal of money on musical equipment, and I was about to here today, but after that I put the sticks away and left. They had what I wanted, but not the people willing to help me get it. This visit was more of a two star, but overall they're a 3. I'll be taking a break from guitar center for a while. I'll get the sticks at Sam Ash, and I'll keep using Sweetwater and Reverb for pretty much everything else. Don't have high expectations going here, and never use them as your only option. You will be disappointed.

David Makowski

I've been shopping at Guitar Center Plymouth Meeting since the store opened. Lots of changes but still there and that's a good thing. My catalyst for this review is my wife Deb of 25 years and good dudes in my experience. I have bought so many electrics from under $1,000.00 to maybe $3,000.00. I like Gibson Les Paul Customs but as great as they are and they are really great electric guitars I have found Explorer style, Strat style, Tele style, and unique guitars that are cool but maybe not something I would play on stage. My Acoustic is really really nice and I don't even like playing acoustic so I always say "yeah I found it at GC" as a part of sharing that axe with friends. Thank you! Dave Makowski

Diana Bower

Service is good. Instructor is great. Check 'em out.

justin heilman

Very helpful and friendly staff. They were very eager to look at our electric guitar and show us how to tune it and work on it. They sold us a set of strings and an amp to go with the guitar and showed us how to use it. I will definitely go back.

Kevin Derr

Friendly and helpful staff. Lessons for guitar, reasonable prices and a great teacher. Highly recommend the knowledgeable and helpful staff. Update: students get a nice discount on purchases. Very positive experience.

Austin Melly

Staff showed immense care and aptitude and helping me find my first guitar. Tommy is the man, deserves a steep raise!

Lee Jackowsky

Great experience. Went in to buy a new amp as I was unable to make my purchase online with a stack of VISA gift cards. I still had to order one cause I was being picky and wanted it brand new, but the Sales Rep Jay not only input them twice when it didn't work, but was able to have a great conversation about basses, difference between the electronics styles and rigs. Glad I went back to this location for sure and you won't be disappointed either. Most gear still has the plastic wrap on it and they have a stellar selection for any musicians needs.

Steve DiRocco

In present time… a store with what I found to be great customer service! This seems to be part of the equation missing from a lot of businesses now a days. Like i said I have ordered from Them and have done returns with pretty much no issue what so ever and always found the customer service in house to be pleasant. A real refreshing experience! Nice work guitar center

Diante Lamborghini

At the time I went didn’t seem to have enough sales people on the floor to help with customers. But they have a wide selection of merchandise to look and try out, so that’s something. 🤷🏽‍♂️ …

Grady Rollins

I had a great experience. I've been to Guitar Centers in several different states. They have a great selection of guitars and a very friendly helpful staff. They also have a beautiful hollow body guitar I sadly had to walk away from. Music aficionados should come give this place a look.

Grey

The sales staff at this location were so much help and went above and beyond to help my sister find exactly what guitar and amp she was looking for. You do not always get that kind of service at music stores, so it is greatly appreciated and I will be giving them more of my business in the future. 5/5. Would recommend!

Casey B

Good store, service was nice. When asking about a product, they did seem a little bit set on the one they thought I should get (which was far more costly). Decent selection and they had a small sale going on for labor day which was cool. Went to look at headphones and ended up getting what seems like a better set for a better price at best buy though, so know your options.

Rodger Perry

Great service....the staff is super friendly and helpful. I would give the store 5 stars, but I feel like the selection and inventory - especially in the drum department - has dropped off in recent years

Kareem Shaikh

I bought a used amp from this GC over the phone from out of state. Having had a very bad experience w/a different amp at a different GC a month prior, before I called to order I looked at the reviews for this GC and saw the great things people had to say about Jay. When I called, I asked for Jay and the the rumors are true, lol. Jay was super cool, super professional and very helpful. If you visit this GC, ask for Jay and you'll be good to go.

Isaac Ramos

I've historically received horrible customer service at pretty much all guitar center locarions(it ususally takes a billion years for a sales person to approach, then when I finally get helped they start kissing a** after they see how big the purchase is) They barely carry any pro audio gear in stock nowadays and it seems like they mainly focus on selling guitars. Not nearly as many customers are in store as in thier hayday so sales has no choice but to help you. Mainly it is a good place to go to test out studio monitors or other gear before you buy. The gear card is good, because you get free money everytime you use it. Order online and pick up in store.

Jett Burgess

This guitar center seems like it would be great until you get inside and realize that a lot of the floor space is opened up and there are very few employees. I stood in line for about a half hour just trying to buy a pack of guitar strings. It wasn't the person who was working's fault it was the company's because the guy working was working every single counter in the entire store by himself. the man working was very polite and complimented my girlfriend and I and thanked us for waiting but the store needs to work on their scheduling and keeping their store stocked up. I understand that they sell out during the holidays but I went about two weeks after New year's and there are only about five guitars left in the store three of which were beat up terribly and I actually had the money and was willing to make a purchase of a guitar that day but decided to just order offline.

Jin Captis

This is a GREAT store with GREAT people who love music and their customers! Jordan from the lessons is absolutely wonderful. He's professional, friendly, and patient. My daughter loves her guitar lessons with Bryan who is also wonderful and talented. My family always have wonderful experiences when we visit the store and impressed with everyone's great customer service. Highly recommended!!!

Jim Plenderleith

If your serious about GOOD gear, this is your place. The luthier there is top notch as well. The sales people are really cool too. They share the same passion for music as there customers, and happy to help get the rite geat to the rite Coustomer. I personally haven't purchased anything there, I didn't absolutely love.

Thomas Ryan

Great selection and friendly, knowledgeable staff. They let me play a bunch of guitars before I made my purchase. Very helpful picking out an appropriate amp and other gear as well. Highly recommended to check out this store.

Jeremy Frank PhD CADC

I'm sorry it's going bankrupt because I always really like the folks, the employees, who work at Guitar Center. I don't love the huge corporate strategy and I think its closing will be a much needed boon for the mom and pop shop which should drive guitar and music sales for musicians. We need to find a way to merge large corporate music sales back into the mom and pop local shop for sure.

David Adoff

I had been thinking about getting a new acoustic guitar since I have been trying to learn finger picking. We were driving by guitar center and for some reason my wife agreed to wait in the car while I ran and plucked around on some guitars. I walked into the store and headed back to the acoustic room, which had a few people playing in various locations around the room. I walked around 3 times and felt awkward trying out my new finger picking skills in front of strangers so I left the store without doing any plucking.

ChiEf TiffNaw

Great service and awesome guitars. Got a beautiful case I can take on my bike, & a new black Matt guitar Tanglewood. Happy all around.

Robert Silver White

I had my axe (a 2000 Fender Am Std Jazz Bass) set up. The service/customer service was on point. It's like having a new axe! I didn't realize that I've had it since 2010. It's recommend to have your guitar checked 2x a year due to the constant changes in the weather, temperature, and humidity. After being without my guitar during the period it was being taken care of (not even 24hrs), I pulled out an axe that I have, I purchased from a guy who attempted to make it fretless. Hopefully the neck isn't too far gone. Gonna have it regretted and such. I CAN'T BE WITHOUT A GUITAR AGAIN!!!!

Enrique Varela

Bought my first guitar here and I have to say, amazing staff. They were helpful with any questions or concerns I had buying my guitar. Looking forward to coming back

Nicholas Turner

Staff was very friendly and there was a great selection compared to other guitar center locations I've been to.

The 2nd WiND

The more music centers the better. Guitar center is another known music store with various instruments, pro and beginner, new age and traditional. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Keep up the good work!

Bruno

Ok stock. Ok attention to clients. Ok prices. Not much noteworthy.

Seda Margaryan

Great selection and friendly, knowledgeable staff. They let me play piano before I made my purchase. This is a GREAT store with GREAT people who love music and their customers!

Cynthia Womack

Love the place if you need any instrument they have it new or used

David S

Great selection of guitars and every other mainstream instrument. Decent prices and knowledgeable staff. I've never been disappointed at any location.

Dulcet B

The associates were very helpful and knowledgeable.

Barry Grody

The customer service was unbelievable fantastic remarkable they was pleasant con respectful when I left out that store I left with a smile on my face 100% thankful for the service that they gave me

Desmin Peifer

Great place and amazing staff! I was looking to test a specific model drum set, and while it wasn't on the floor, Matt assisted and gave me the info of when it'd be available! Very helpful and friendly service!

Andrew Lezzer

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. They have some really cool toys. Music lovers can spend a good amount of time here.

Debora Session

Great place to buy any kind of instrument video or sound you can buy, plus the staff was really nice!

Mark Wagaman

Great service dept. Took two guitars in to be evaluated, cleaned and tuned. They did all this and explained a few things and didn't charge a penny!! Love this service, will definitely return!!

Jocelynn Palmer

Fantastic service!! Guys at the front desk were knowledgeable and super kind. Just went into the store today, never touched a guitar in my life, they made it so easy! I wish I remembered the guys names but I was too pumped about the guitar, Haha!

Scott Stern

It's a Guitar Center. They have all the standard music sections. The only reason I left out a star is the fact that I'm tired of tuning the acoustic guitars every time I go there. The service is fantastic from the staff and they always have great suggestions.

Marc neocaster

Came in to sell a guitar. Thought I’d have to push for the price I wanted. I didn’t. Great guys. Fair offers. People are great here. Will keep coming here for odds and ends and an occasional new instrument.

Ben Handy

We've used this store 3 times now. Each time the sales people were extremely knowledgeable, and friendly. I never felt as if I was pressured or being upsold. Every option was laid out for me and in the end I have been happy with each decision I made with their guidance.

Lindsey McKay

Updated review: Went to Guitar Center this past Saturday, 06/01/2019, and experienced fantastic customer service! The difference from my past experiences there was tremendous! I was given space while walking around and looking at some items. Then, a kind gentleman asked if I needed help. He was attentive and answered my questions. He was helping another couple out at the same time, so he made sure another employee would take my item to the counter for me to get me rung up. Absolutely awesome - thank you :)

KC D.

The best in the area, The staff actually knows what they're talking about as unlike other big box music store, and they care about finding the best match for you. It's just an all around good place, with good people, and good times.

Timothy Kerns

Took a minute to get approached but once I did I got very helpful and friendly service.

Lorna Dunbar

This place is honest and friendly. The people who work there genuinely love music and instruments and it shows. I am taking guitar lessons and my instructor Josh is fantastic and patient.

Marie Battle

The Guitar Center is a music place where you can get all instruments and lessons and it's like absolutely wonderful my grandson wanted drumsticks so that he could play the drums and he didn't want to leave the Guitar Center I will take him back

Lawrence Penny

One of my favorite places.

John Corney

Friendly staff, engaging without being too pushy. Pretty good selection but they kind of hide the used gear. It’s in a small dark room as you come in. The nicer stuff is hung on the wall outside the room. Just feels like an after thought.

jim crossley

They are knowledgeable, and nice. Guitar selection is nice, and normally have what's needed in stock.

J. Eliot Mason

Outstanding employees. Those guys, and girls, really care about music. No complaints. Ok, maybe one. They didn't have a dean from hell in stock. Sorry, you gotta have one on the floor to get five stars.

matthew krezel

Who doesn't like a music store. With a great staff that will bend over backwards for you and I seen this staff do it. Keep it up ☝.

EJ Rossetti

GREAT! Fixed my guitar for free, and were very helpful in selling me a keyboard. Extremely friendly staff and a great selection of merchandise.

Donald Pierce

Been buying strings and things for years , as far as tech work I use #modshopguitar , 🎸👍 …

marcel domond

They make the effort to satisfy you. great selection. They even have a music studio. Bought a pair of speakers, came in damaged which sometimes happens, returned on of them the other one i kept for an offered discount because it wasn't functionally disabling. And within a week I had the sub intact. Mark and his manager did an awesome job at getting me my birthday gift.

Lynda K.

Friendly knowledgeable staff and generous. They fixed my grandson strings no cost and let the other one play on all the drums with different sticks until he found a fit....not to mention when I brought the guitar last year they gave him a case for free....my free thing. The guitar was pricey enough so mom mom.

Greg

Good experience. Everyone I passed asked if I needed help. Was just there for a strap and they had a thousand to choose from.

Kin Cheung

Friendly and knowledge staffs, very helpful. They have guitar lesson too.

Thalia

Love this place. I Did have a problem with buying a bass for a Christmas present. They said it was in stock but it was not.I was also keep waiting over am hour while they searched for it in the back stock room...it was 3 days before Christmas so I understand the stress. I was told someone must have stolen it? So I ordered it online and received it to my home in good condition but it was not under the Christmas tree as I would have preferred. Otherwise I'd give this place 5 stars. Some staff was rude... others very friendly and helpful.

Jf Hamilton

I drive past at least three Guitar Centers to get to this one; it seems to be the only one east of the Mississippi River to have knowledgeable & friendly sales staff. Excellent

Joe Mc Clure

The staff was very pleasant and helpful. You didn't have to hunt somebody down to ask a question.

Gabe Gowen

I had Kent set up my Martin (which I also bought from this store). He us a great, friendly, intelligent guy who clearly knows his way around a guitar. He let me watch and explained everything he was doing in depth. It took a very little amount of time and now plays much better. Thank you!

Andrew Leventhal

Staff was extremely helpful but unfortunately many of the displays were set up just as displays and I was unable to interact with many of the recording and DJ gear set up there. This is unfortunate as I was shopping for many pieces of equipment and I could not try any of them. It is useless to have a set up such as they do with no drivers on computers that seems to be dedicated to give a try to any piece of Hardware that you can buy there. Short of opening the box there is no difference to shopping for this type of equipment there or online and they will price match in the store that's a bonus I suppose but if I can't try out the gear besides just feeling it it doesn't really make it worth it to me. It is clear that guitars and other musical instruments are their main goal as you can try pretty much any combination of instrument and amplifier on that side.

Bru Cheese

Have all my guitar needs and they let you try out drums.

Scott Akam

This is one of the nicer guitar centers I've been to. They have a good selection of guitars to try. Not just Epiphone and Mexican Fenders.

Colin Underwood

I had a fantastic experience here when stopping in to trade a few pedals and head units for another I had seen on their website. Gwen was fair, friendly and quick to help me on my way. I would definitely recommend considering GC for trade ins.

S. Piergrossi

The staff here are attentive without being overbearing. They are friendly and knowledgeable and the prices are reasonable.

Kelly Bonnell

Awesome sales reps!! Mike was so helpful!! Love this place

Tyrone Ru

Rep understand and helped me purchase what I needed for an audio system.

David Byard

I love going to this store. Yeah, it's a ride from Philly but worth the trip when u get there. Anything I need they have it!

Andrew Zammetti

This is a great guitar center store. The problem is that it's a guitar center store. Positives first, the staff is amazing, and have helped me out more times than I can count. The store is always kept clean, and there's always a way to demo something without needing to call over a staff member. It's a great music store in that aspect. My biggest issue with the place is the selection of gear they have. I use a rackmount guitar rig, and needed a new case, so I stopped by and saw their section of cases. I found zero. Many accessories and things advertised on their site were also missing. I understand not everything can be fit into one store, but there seems to be more throwaway items than actual gear I and many others need. Still, this problem becomes more or less mute, because of a free "Ship-to-Store" option online. I can't complain too much about that. It's a very nice store, and if I'm in the area, I definitely stop by, but I prefer to selection of Sam Ash to GC's.

William Hemenmway

Knowledgeable and helpful staff. I bought a friend a guitar as a present and Gwen was awesome. She asked me helpful questions and didn't try selling me the most expensive guitar but the best guitar . Thank you my friend loves his new guitar.

Nadav Goldberg

Nice and professional staff. The bass section could be more interesting.

Bradley Hove

Super friendly and helpful staff, had my acoustic set up by Joe and it plays better than ever!

Daryll Davis

Tried to surprise my girl with a new autistic electric guitar and got the wrong one. I came back in and the one i needed was gone but they found me a better one and the in a case.

Jader BeatsINC.

Good store, social distancing was in effect, though at this time I would not allow customers to play keyboards.

Keith Szczesniak

Great store friendly staff. Constantly changing inventory.

Jan Klincewicz

Great brick and mortar (one of the remaining ones) store. You can order anything online and have it shipped there in a few days.

Curtis Holmes

Great customer service and friendly staff 👍. …

Bill Tux

I bought my bass, case and strings from this place. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and their prices are decent.

Brad Robinson

Often times in retail these days it’s difficult to get real help in the store environment. The gang at guitar center saves me time and points me to the appropriate products for my skill, ability, and needs.

Art Armani

Always a good deal on Sound and DJ equipment but the selection could be bigger. Definitely get the no hassle extended warranty.

Cary McCall

Awesome Place have good deals and they work with you

Sean Tucker

Pricy but quality items. Good variety of items. Knowledgeable staff. You can touch and play the instruments. They offer lessons.

David Carr

This was my first time at the Guitar Center in general and at this particular store, and it was a great experience! The personnel were experienced and professional, the store was well organized, and if you're in the market for a student guitar that's of excellent quality but at an affordable price, the Guitar Center is an excellent way to go. I'm a brand new student of the guitar and I am Quite satisfied with the bargain that I got and some very good and patient advice on the care of my 🎸. And, yes, the have every type of instrument that you can think of besides the guitar. Check them out and I'm quite sure that you'll be satisfied.

Cody McLaughlin

I've come here for years and have had great service but just recently in the microphone section I had a employee with horrible manners eating while talking to me giving me short one word answers when I'm trying to get explanations and all in all try and just get rid of me but one bad experience wont stop me.

Antonio Alstom

Guitar Center is Kool & the Gang always love could Guitar Center Tony few phone calls and I would buy from Guitar Center since they open and they all cool everybody is cool

David Haney

Staffs were nice but no in-store product available...

Mr. Ken Jones

Great sales associate in the Langhorne store. Did a party last night and was rocking with my Pioneer DJJSB3 Serato!

Michael J.

Great place for guitar lessons. My son loves it and sounds so good playing!

Ajibola Rivers

I love Guitar Center, the atmosphere is cool no matter which one you go to, but this one and these guys are the best. I've gone back to this spot every week for almost two months, trying stuff out and occasionally buying, but always coming with plenty of questions. They've given me answers, advice, tips, and the most pleasant gear-huntingexperience I've ever had. Guaranteed, until I hit it big and start getting stuff custom made for me, from now on I'll be getting everything music-related from THIS Guitar Center. Good thing I live close by.

Blaine Weiner

Mike G was extremely helpful and a solid guy. Knows the products and gives excellent customer service. See Mike!

Notch Music

Jeffrey Schnug

Great customer service and highly knowledgeable staff.

Tracy Tang

Really nice shop

Laura Kemp

They had nice acoustic guitars in the budget price range, but the air freshener scent in the showroom was so strong that we couldn't stay very long.

Darin Hudson

Always meet the coolest people there. Some of the coolest sales reps are musicians!!!!

Joe Niszczak

Selection is minimal. Staff is limited but helpful. Allows in-store pick up of online purchases.

simon mcivor

I would have given Guitar Center 5 stars if it wasn't for the the guy who approached me and asked if I need help and then disappeared. I asked him if they had a certain guitar in stock which according to their website they had he replied that he would go and check. We waited about 10 minutes and then we saw our forgetful friend helping someone else. Then he went to another customer and proceeded to get him something and check him out. We were then approached by another employee who asked if we needed help and I told him I was waiting for the other guy who was allegedly helping me and when he approached him about it he looked confused. Anyway the other guy was very nice and very helpful and took care off us very quickly. Overall a great place to by a guitar or other music needs.

Joy Lee

Signing up go violin. They have classes in every instrument. They also tuned my guitar and changed one of the strings for free. Nice staff.

Nice place to learn and buy music instruments

jacqueline kerns

I liked there selection of merchandise!! And the employees were very helpful too!!

Chad Jordan

Great for buying instruments that have great quality

shandon willey

Catalogue with walls. Probably 98% of stuff you don't need and the rest is stuff that's probably already on your wishlist from Amazon. Try a guitar out but make sure it's got a good set-up. These stores are notorious for having high quality instruments with low quality playability.

Luz Mendoza

If you love music here is the place

Mr. Rogers

They were very helpful and the establishment was very well maintained.

Riot Chords

Very very friendly and helped me a lot best guitar center near me!

Stephen Hinkle

If you're looking for musical equipment, you can't beat Guitar Center. They've got everything you need at competitive prices. Yes, the workers are paid on commission, so they'll try to upsell you, but you can also negotiate a bit on cost.

Robert Irwin

Great service by the guy in the drum dept. 👍👍 …

Judith Deoliveira

They do under pay for used guitars but friendly staff clean and organized store

The sales clerk Gwyen was pretty cool. She helped me figure out my husband's father day gift by schooling me on all things drum sticks! With the help of Gwyen & my husbands band mates we figured out! Super friendly & understanding that this wasn't my scene but made me feel comfortable!

Tom Kraemer

After dinner on a weeknight is when you want to go here. Fewest number of other customers.

David Tillman

Awesome place, great staff.

Andrew Grove

I stopped in to have my Martin DX1KAE looked at for some fret buzz issues. Upon my arrival I was directed to Kent who was the repair man. He was incredibly helpful and did very in depth work. His actions show that he clearly knows his way around a guitar. He allowed me watch and explained everything he was doing. The visit took a short amount of time and allowed me to get back to playing my guitar. Thank you!

Brock Degiorgis

Awesome place. Maybe a little expensive on the cables

Robert Hauge

Friendly staff, good product selection considering the times.

Duane Case

I only looked at acoustic guitars, so this posting is strictly in reference to the acoustic guitars offered in this location. They have a decent large acoustics room with two smaller rooms, one closet sized that is all classical, the other a medium sized room for Gibsons, Martins, etc... The rooms are great and the guitars are offered in a variety of price ranges. Most of the classical guitars were cut aways with electronics, although there were a couple of decent not cutaway classical. Fairly limited supply, but much more than almost any other store I have visited. More variety with the steel strings. The main room offers mostly intro lemme laminates, some banjos, mandolins and ukeleles. A good selection. The back room offers the real Martin's and Gibsons, but with the exception of a few lesser instruments, a sales rep will have to unlock these for you. I did notice that some of the instruments are out of adjustments and the buzz is so bad they are unplayable it the action is so high that they don't play properly in tune. Also, some of them needed to be restrung. It's hard to get a sense of an instrument when the strings are that dirty.

It's a typical Guitar Center store.

Walked in on a Saturday morning, needing my axe for Sunday, I was having 'grounding issues...' Kent, the luthier is a #GodSend🙏🏿. He just went right into it, cleaned, tuned, polished, and re-strung my Fender Jazz Deluxe all right there in less than an hour, while having a room full of jobs to complete, he could've made me wait till next week, he definitely made a special accommodation for me, #RespecT ! I appreciate you guys! 💪🏿🙏🏿🤙🏿 Wealth of knowledge here, these guys are all super helpful also in health and technique if your having issues!

I wanted to purchase a new guitar from this place. Was looking for a Seagull and called the store to see if they had any - which they did. I went into the store and met Aiden, who is manages their lessons. He took me to the acoustic room and let me try out basically every single guitar they had that was in my price range as well as the Seagull that i originally called in for. Due to Philly's constantly changing winter temperature, some of their acoustic guitars didnt sound right and he kindly let me know which ones needed some work. After playing the Seagull rustic entourage for a bit, I decided to purchase it and Aiden helped me with all the accesories i needed and gave me information on the store's lesson plans(They are cheaper than every store near my location, and they also have the kind of music i want to learn) It was a great experience, and I cant wait to do business with them again. Thanks a lot!!!

One Complaint (of management) & One Compliment (of staff) Complaint: I suspect the staff is coached to pushed extended warranties - perhaps even multiple times. But for a solid body guitar? It's not an amp, having a hundred precise components and not always being transported in a case. If you're selling a solid guitar you think might actually 'break' in two years then dump the brand. I just don't think a Fender solid body guitar is going to stop working in 2, 5, or 25 years any more than my golf clubs will. Compliment: After struggling to find a comfortable semi-hollow electric guitar online I decided to compare as many as possible in person. Quickly offered help by a young rock gal (St. Vincent - Annie Clark) who knew her inventory as well as the world of guitars (she owns an impressive Thinline Tele' with P-90's, which I never knew even existed) and suggested several guitars with a thinner neck. We even made a little compare/contrast station making it easy to settle on a perfectly comfortable $200 Squire Tele ... an option I never really considered. Great great utility guitar.
