Free beginner guitar lessons every Saturday at 10am!!\n\nI am writing this specifically to tell the world that my opinion on Guitar Center has been greatly improved by recent visits to this location.\n\nOn 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.\n\nThen, at check out, I WAS NOT asked for my phone number. \nI 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.\n\nWhen I was visibly shocked, the cashier said \"we stopped asking for info on small purchases. It seems to make people much happier.\"\n\nYou're GD right it does!!\nI will now go to this location over Sam Ash for my regular purchases, such as strings and accessories. \n\nNote: Always get your larger purchases from independent stores. There is more flexibility on prices, variety in options, and better support after your purchase.
