Good GC experience

I have seen plenty here with bad experiences at Guitar Centers, but I just wanted to give an "atta boy" to the GC in Greenville, SC. I went there yesterday while passing through town and got great service buying a used guitar. Richard the guitar tech went out of his way to help me with a couple of issues, and the regional Martin rep happened to be there and strung the guitar with a new set of strings.

Nothing wrong with GC in general. I have had good and bad experiences at GC. But, I have had good and bad experiences at mom and pop music stores too.

Same here! I don't really get the whole bashing GC thing. Some people brag about where they shop and I just never understood that type of tone.

I think it's a kind of backlash against the seeming adage that bigger is always better. Bashing verbally makes some feel a sense of power over the seeming Goliath of guitar stores while religiously shopping the sales....

Craig - thanks for posting your positive experience. So you bought a set of strings and the Martin rep strung it up for you? Great!

Dru, He bought a used guitar. He's letting us know that the tech at this location is helpful and the Martin rep strung up his guitar for him. Maybe with free strings. I appreciate knowing about his experience since I travel to GSP quite a bit and may want to stop in there.
