I love this store.

I don't care if the sales people are commissioned, at least they're not slimey used car sales people. The employees at this store know when to leave you alone and when to hover. They do a good job at finding the right mix of products for you to preview.

I have spent hours (and lots of dollars) in this store playing high end bass guitars. Not only can you preview guitars that you normally would never be able to play or buy unless you win the lottery, but the store is a a great meeting space for aspiring musicians. It's cool all around.

Granted, every now and then you get the Bon Jovi fan in there... rot in &%$#  Bon Jovi fan!!!

The store is a little cramped, but well stocked. The prices are right where they should be. Only a FEW bad experiences with commission sales people - what do you expect from them... each sale is food on their table. They are two types of commissions sales people - jerks that don't take no for an answer and the ones that build relationship over time, know when to leave you alone and when to check in with you.

This store is pretty cool all around. I typically don't like chains, but when you go to a family guitar shop you instantly get the evil eye from the owner if you even touch a product... Here, they don't care. That makes things a lot more comfortable for me.

I found the guys at Guitar center very willing to help and trying to accomadate any concerns I had. Even let me use the customer serivce computer to check out the reviews and stats on some items. Granted, I didn't have a kid....everyone knows expensive musical equipment hates kids. Many a Stratocaster has been know to magically move under it's own power and trip small children when it's owner isn't around.

On the downside, I found their DJ equipment selection to be alright, although not very expansive....if one is buying that gear, then going online or Audiolines in Chicago is a much better deal.However, the guitar center guys can bend their prices for you if your persuasive.
