Editorial Review for Guitar Center – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Just as the electric guitar started gaining popularity in the '60s, so did this once-modest, now monumental music store chain, which has grown to become the country's largest retailer of musical instruments. The store is packed with merchandise hanging overhead, crowding the aisles and monopolizing the walls. Contrary to its name, it's not just about acoustic and electric guitars; it also serves the needs of keyboardists, drummers and horn players.

Insider Tips
Look GoodFeel free to plug in any of the store's guitars and take them for a test drive. Just don't play "Stairway" or you'll look like a newbie.

We're neighbors to the north of this Guitar Center, but have been to the Edina store as well....and had more help than I knew what to do with! Whether by phone or in person in the stores, the guys have been GREAT....and more PATIENT with my lack of knowledge than any other place I had checked for equipment and music....including bass guitars, strings, amps, music, especially sound equipment....THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS MUSIC JOURNEY DO-ABLE AND EVEN FUN! One suggestion.....don't walk into ANY STORE and expect them to "do your homework for you!" READ UP ON WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR so they really CAN help you when you get there! GREAT WORK GCs!!
Pros: Helpfulness....and Patience
Cons: Not enough hours in the day to spend there.....luv the stores!
