I went to a GC about 10 years ago and their staff literally knew nothing about guitars, or really even music. This was in Nashville, where there's really no excuse. Meanwhile I know the guys at my local mom and pop, stop by to talk shop sometimes and just goof off, and when they don't have it, my Sweetwater rep calls me every few months just to check in and see if there's anything I need.

So yeah, I don't really have any desire to ever go to a Guitar Center ever again.

When I was actively playing Sweetwater was amazing.
