| - Free beginner guitar lessons every Saturday at 10am!!
I am writing this specifically to tell the world that my opinion on Guitar Center has been greatly improved by recent visits to this location.
On this particular visit, I was going in to get a guitar stand and to show my wife some of the intro size guitar that our daughter could play. I was given assistance on finding exactly what I asked for, and left alone one we said that we were just looking to plan a future purchase.
Then, at check out, I WAS NOT asked for my phone number.
I have been shopping in these stores for 10 years. I have worked in them. The WORST part is that you are asked to provide personal information, associated with a phone number, for their marketing purposes. This goes for buying a $3000 guitar (in which case, you should for warranty purposes) or buying a pack of picks for $3, which you would never try to return.
When I was visibly shocked, the cashier said "we stopped asking for info on small purchases. It seems to make people much happier."
You're GD right it does!!
I will now go to this location over Sam Ash for my regular purchases, such as strings and accessories.
Note: Always get your larger purchases from independent stores. There is more flexibility on prices, variety in options, and better support after your purchase.
