    This Guitar Center SUCKS!!! First of all, the selection is not so great. I could not find a single Washburn in there. Sencond, most of their guitars are out of tune, so you have to tune them first. Third, most of their guitars are missing parts; like the lockdown hardware on the Floyd Rose Tremelo system equipped guitars. I would love to able to compare a Washburn to a Jackson to a Schecter, except that all those guitars are MISSING PARTS!!!

    Watch The Price Stickers and refund Policie: I had the worst experience in the Guiar Center. Yesterday I spent $800 cash for merchandise including a keyboard that was allegedly priced at $239, + I was to get a 10% discount for buying the display. I got it home and noticed they charged me $279. Went back today and it took an hour and a half just to get it straight and I still didnt get compensated for the full amount. The guy at the counter told me there was no way it could have been that price. When I told him go pull the sticker it was mysteriously gone. He then told me that the keyboard was originally $299 and that the $279 was with the discount. Now not having a sticker how would he know not to mention.. a 10% discount on a display that was allegedly $299 would not been 279.. it would have been approximately $269 (general math) not to mention as he explained this to me he wrote the price $299 on the originally receipt. I didnt say a word as I was already getting mad that they would think someone would not even catch it. Now paying cash of over $800 in merchandise and just wanting the proper discount on one item wouldnt be a hassel, They issue me a CHECK for $32 on the price of $279.( PS the receipt showed no discount key or anything) I was also returning a bench and told them so. Another guy wentto the cash registered and handed me cash.. The point being is if you pay cash, you should have cash completely returned...after all I wasnt financing anything. 2nd while I waitred for an a hour an half just to get a couple of my dollars back. I noticed on a strat pak. They were advertising a strat pack for $249. The 4 was a sticker and if you look at the sign from the other side. It said $279. Knowing these peole work for commission.. $10-$30 may not seem like much..but the whole idea is an honest business. If they dot his to everyone just imagine how they chehta people!
