Guitar Center Lessons

It is an amazing to enter to this store. I love it! You could find any music instrument that you are looking for. The employees are friendly. They also offer music classes there. People were practicing. I love the store. Also is in the Times’ Square heart. Everything is amazing in or outside the place.

This is by far the best place for any hard core musician on the planet. The range of instruments and the variety found in the instruments are surreal. One can easily get lost in here for days trying out all the legendary models of guitars and finding their sound. The employees are very friendly and are supportive of choice. As a guitarist dreaming of playing high end models, guitar center has given me the opportunity to do so.

I have been to a number of different guitar centers throughout Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan and this one is very well designed. The way the guitars are set up as well as the other musical instruments are a joy to see and hear. The customer service is very good and the accustics in the store are excellent. You enter the store through an escalator that goes down.

Great quiet and cozy place as compared to crowded Manhattan GC stores. Easy to find an available amp and cable to check the guitar.

Friendly service but they don't have many electric guitars to choose from. They have two cool "expensive" guitar rooms that are awesome!

This place is massive...and has a genuine "try before you buy". It's logically laid out, with 100s of guitars to try. There's something for everyone ....talent and budget. Don't forget to check out the used stuff for some bargains. Also make sure you don't miss the celebrity guitar showcased at the back. It's quite an odd shopping experience to be playing on a 2nd hand epiphone staring at eric clapton's blackie. In today's online society it's very easy to overlook that not all guitars of same model play the same. I tried 8 Gretsch 5420s and all were different. This is why you NEED to physically try and not just click and buy. The downside of course is the bloody awful noise of competing guitarists of varying talent rocking out. be aware it's a noisy experience!!! Brands....usual Fender, Gibsons, epiphones etc. Oddly no charvels cmonnnn they are cool again!. The higher end section usually has a few Friedman amps, better players noodling away....but huge prices.

We visited New York, NY's Guitar Center in November 2018. The customer service was lacking. We waited in the electric guitar room for at least half an hour. No one came. We were polite on the way out as my cousin told them how lacking in customer service they were but in a very tactful way. Also, that they were losing out on a nice sale as he was expecting to buy a guitar that beautiful Saturday afternoon. The just seemed lazy. The great thing, though, they had a bathroom!!

awesome store with a vast collection of celeb guitars/instruments. playable demo versions of everything from dj equipment to electronic drum kits, all guitars/bass guitars can be taken off the wall and taken for a test drive. awesome vibe and friendly, knowledgeable staff who have helped me with mic issues on multiple occasions.

Are you kidding? It's guitar center. If you play guitar, or any instrument, this remains one of the few places where you can spend more hours than you care to admit trying out your purchase before you buy it -- and that is priceless. They match prices from other vendors, so if you buy anywhere but here, you are doing it wrong! No, I don't work for them, I'm just someone who will die inside if brick-and-mortar music stores ever cease to exist. They have a ridiculous selection of used instruments, too, and they'll ship whichever one to whichever location you happen to frequent for you to buy but try out first. The one in Times Square is huge, and if you can make it there, it is absolutely worth a trip. What they sell, besides instruments, is the experience of buying one and trying one -- and that, to me, is priceless.

Stopped in while visiting my Mom. I have been to many guitar centers. I figured I had to stop in the one that is in the heart of the big Apple. I was turned onto one of the wildest basses I have ever seen! Ibanez now makes a fretless/fretted bass. 7 strings, 3 of them fretless, and 3 fretted. Go figure!
