Editorial Review for Guitar Center – by Steve Coulter
The Scene
Guitar Center burst onto the American music scene in 1964. Since then, the chain has grown to become the premiere choice for equipment. Today it boasts hundreds of outlets across the United States, but the Hollywood store is the flagship. Fronted by a Mann's Chinese Theater-style "Rock Walk" and an impressive memorabilia display, the Hollywood location embodies everything Guitar Center has to offer.
The Goods
A trademark of Guitar Center stores nationwide is the close attention paid to departmentalization. All locations are similarly designed to meet the needs of every category of instrument--guitars, drums and percussion, keyboards, amplifiers and beyond. Most stores also offer quality vintage gear for collectors and enthusiasts. Add a knowledgeable staff and a vast selection of brands, and you have a musical equipment superstore that is truly super.

Good deals....but that's about it...terrible atmosphere - I hate having to listen to loud 80's metal when I'm trying to test out guitars and basses....doesn't seem intuitive...nevertheless, I usually get a good deal......

Guitar Center...in many cases the best place to get a good deal or get what you need fast and cheap. They have a revolving door of experienced to moronic employees running through there. Maybe they stupid ones are just stoned...or stoned and stupid...who know and who cares. For those that are serious about music, you just have to deal with it. For those new to music...a piece of advice. Get your instrument, amp...whatever. Then get your you heiny out of guitar center and get some lessons and start practicing! Only slacking loosers hang around the place!
Pros: Price, Selection, "Convenience"
Cons: Weekend Crowds, Posers, THE NOISE!!! and finally the gimp employees.
