Reading the reviews below, I was a bit surprised. I have gone to this same GC for my latest 2 instruments...an acoustic Yamaha guitar and a Fender bass, and in both instances, the help I was given was tremendous. Both guys I spoke to were musicians, and both were willing to answer any question this relatively new guitar player had. They guaranteed that their prices would beat anything out there, including on-line. In fact, they have a computer hooked up there that you can search on to see if someone offers lower prices. And as a full-time salesman myself, I really valued 2 parts of my experience: 1) both guys sold me guitars that were LESS expensive than the one I thought I wanted when I walked in and 2) they both called me a week after the purchase to see if I was happy with my purchase. BOTH guys were enthusiastic when talking to me. I absolutely love going to GC. Yes, there are times when someone will be in there testing a guitar out, and they might actually be good! That doesn't scare me off...it inspires me to get better. Man, it's a music store! And I wouldn't consider myself a young kid...I'm 50 and I dig this place. (they aren't asking me to write this review...I just know that it's not often when review sites get anything but negative experiences recapped. Not saying the people below are wrong to express themselves...I'm just saying that it wasn't my experience and this location rocks.
