Got a great deal on a Lefty Alvarez Acoustic Electric with Tuner Used. A charming and cozy Lefty Fender. Good lefties are hard to find in my opinion. This guitar center had some options for me. I couldnt decide so I bought both guitars. Best decision Ive made in Nashville Tennessee.

Guitar center at the 100 oaks Mall is fantastic. The one on moores Lane is, well, its like I am invisible... I dont think the staff even though Im in the store. But, again, the one at 100 oaks is always great. Its a bigger store and there are a lot of friendly, helpful and attentive staff. Love going there with the kids... They get to play the drums, they get to play the pianos, and they get to play the guitars... our regular visits to Guitar center is so very helpful in fostering their love for music.

Very rude. Like he was bothered I wanted to play this Gibson that had a big price tag on it He even asked sarcastically if I was looking to buy a Gibson as if I was a peasant to him. This is why they wont get my 5 grand. It will go to a mom and pop shop that deserves my money and time Wont be back either way.

I was looking for a new acoustic guitar and JD hooked me up. Made me feel at home and customer service was top notch. Gave me a good deal with some trade-ins. Nothing but Kudos - highly recommend dealing with him, I’ve bought quite a few guitars from a bunch of different stores and this was probably my best experience.

They have a huge selection of musical instruments. The staff was very friendly and took the time to hook up a set of electronic drums that I wanted to try out. Max was sure to check back with me as I was leaving to make sure that I did not need anything else, and offered me some more of his knowledge of the electronic drums in order to help me make a decision on which set I should focus on. Very satisfied with my experience.

I bought this guitar from guitar center in Nashville back in February.. It was an online purchase. The guitar in the first picture is the guitar I bought but was sent the guitar in picture number 2. You can see these are different guitars. The guitar was listed as being a Fender American Standard but is a cheaper American Professional model but I paid American Standard price. I think this is called bait and switch and false advertising for saying this guitar is a different model than it is. Guitar center has lost my business forever. I just purchased a PRS CE24 from one of their competitors. I got exactly what I paid for with the PRS.

They still have a great selection. Service has fallen. I wandered the bass section for 20 minutes, and no one offered in to help me.

First visit first interest so picked up a few things. Little to no effort made by host helping. Actually had to hunt him down to plug in electric. Spent money so just be helpful to a young man trying to figure it out! Everyone has to get there some how.

Review №36

I could hardly believe that I had forgotten so much about visiting the music stores. I took my time walked every wall. I got interested in so many new things, like having my own Sennheiser Mike pocket amplifier. Someone stole my d18 Martin guitar I purchased in the early 60s. Also stole my fender base back in the early 80s. When I looked at the prices of the other things including my hummingbird that I traded in on Congo drum in trumpet I realized I had a gold mine. Now the guitar center over at 100 oaks Im digging again. Never give up.

Best place to shop for instruments! They have amazing customer service instantly greeting you and asking if you need help the second you walk in. They have a great selection of instruments for every skill level musician and they genuinely want to help find what youre looking for. Huge shoutout to Zach for helping us find the best keyboard in our budget(Yamaha P-125),it was also the last one in stock and he hooked us up with a 3-yr warranty for half the price:D. This place had the best customer service in all the stores ive been to and I couldnt be more satisfied!

The place is easy to find. I was looking for a moderately priced guitar to practice with. They had a ton of guitars. The store was packed with shoppers. A salesman found me quickly and asked if he could help. I told him what I was looking for and he promptly showed me the $3000 guitar line. When I explained that was not what I considered moderately priced and told him my price range he promptly disappeared. At least he left me alone so I could browse.

Review №48

I like to go here and look for musical gear but I dislike the small selection of drums and the fact the drums I put on layaway this past Christmas season was sold before I finished paying for them and I was not offered another set with as many drums in it as the one stolen from me, through it being sold to someone else.

I worked at Sam Ashley Music store in Melville Long Island New York. I worked in the software department. You have to be knowledgeable about all programs being sold. Ive own my own recording studio since 1985. Ive produced, mastered, and engineered alot of major, independent, and overseas projects. I came in to your store this past weekend to pick the heads of your software department about an apple product that I do know that Gituar Center do not sale, but at one point a couple of years ago, you did sell, and no one was knowledgeable about the product as well as the poor attitude and service. I do know from experience that it can get hectic in sales. I went to your DJ controllers first and was asked if I needed any help which was great, but then said to the sales assistant that I had a question and proceeded to ask about the apple produce. The answer was short and as if he did not want to help me. I went to another sales assistant and Shed the same question and the professionalism in assisting me was even more poor. My company, the company I work for as well as the big name producers from Nashville to New York and LA spend millions of dollars with Gituar Center. I do know your district coordinators in your areas and will not speak about this to them, nor will I mention the names of the sales assistant that brushed me off. Please, talk to your employees and have them trained on customer service ethics as this should never happen again in your Nashville store. Thank you and please continue to have a great day.

I went to this location today on 02/27/2021. I was able to find the guitar I’ve been wanting for a long time. It was brand new and over 1000 dollars, but with my military ID I saved over 100 dollars. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because of customer service. They have a ton of staff always running in every direction. The guy who sold me my guitar didn’t even include the Allen keys or trem arm. I know it’s cheap stuff but to me it’s principle. If I had of ordered that guitar, I would have gotten those things.

Biggest guitar center I have ever seen. Unfortunately, being in Nashville means that the place was crawling with wannabe music stars.

Review №66

They have good selection for a guitarist or bass player as I am, but I just dont like being watched by staff with that eye like Im being judged to whether I should even try out a guitar or bass guitar, Sam Ash on other hand always welcomes me to try anything out that I want to, never no one rushing to me like a car salesmen do

This Guitar Center is a HUGE benefit to this pet of town!! Located just on the outskirts of Berry Hill in the Thousand Oaks shopping center, this location has you covered.. From hard drives and hardware, to instruments and stage efx rentals, I was impressed by their selection of products. I’ve bought several instruments here, stopped in for strings and batteries, and rented fog machines for video shoots.. Their staff has always been helpful to me and my productions. They’ve offered me discounts to show good character and good faith, and they keep their prices competitive in general.. All in all I’ve been thankful to have Guitar Center as a resource in Nashville. Give them a try and see if they’ve got what you’re looking for..

Review №86

Called today to buy a $4200 guitar and I asked for 7% dicount and I was flat out told they would not at all, not even a penny because this is nashville we will sell it this came from there store manager named Mark. This is after I just spent $2000 at another of there store. I will never deal with then again. No customer service what so ever. Its like who I am going to be able to screw out of the most money today just because we are Nashville . Dont waste you time and money on a stingy store who only give you 60% of your value on your guitar but cant come down 7%. Plus they have the same guitar online brand new for $4600. They forgot that the love for music is why they have a job.

Guitar center is a cool place for a corporate music store. Its a good place to pick up strings and used pedals (usually to high priced for used). A great place for a beginner to pick up an inexpensive guitar and amp. They have about everything you could want. The classic guitar room is full of custom shop and nice antique fare. The staff has always been nice.

Review №91

Overpriced cables cause your in Cashville and need them for your show and all the vocalist need vocal ease because the elevation and the pollen takes weeks to acclimate too. Singers fork out for some LOCAL Nashville Honey and overdose on it with some lemon and whiskey, it may not make you sing or breathe any better. But you wont even worry about it.

Big, but a bit unfriendly and kinda sad for as many people that come through. Music is about connecting and sharing so why shouldnt all music shops be a haven from the storm... Places of inspiration and positivity. I hope shops go back to worrying less about profit and more about humans.
