Guitar center is a horrible place to shop for your music needs. Much better to shop at a local spotty.
But it's a fantastic place to let your kids play every insturment in the store until they are pooped beyond imagination. Coming from a musical family, my son and I can spend hours and hours going from room to room and playing every set of drums, guitar, keyboard and so on and so forth. Walking out with nothing but a good day well spent.
Cheers. I'll drink to that.
