I reached out to Guitar Center's customer support for assistance, as I was looking to purchase a guitar for my husband's birthday. In trying to keep this a surprise and knowing next to nothing about guitars, I was in over my head. I didn't call with the intention of receiving a ton of personalized assistance - I just wanted to ask about their return policy, as I figured that if I picked the wrong one being able to return it was extremely important. The gentleman who answered the phone, Dalton, was immediately very nice and seemed excited to help. I asked my quick return policy questions and I was ready to hang up when he started asking about what exactly I was looking for. This turned into a fairly lengthy conversation in which I explained that this needed to be a surprise so I had very limited information and zero experience looking at guitars - and he jumped at the chance to help. I was able to send him links to the specific listings I had found and he did a lot of research - even calling the store to confirm that the frontrunner was in fact in the excellent condition shown in the photos. We ended up exchanging over a dozen emails and multiple phone calls over two days as he answered my million inane questions and walked me through exactly what he was looking for and ultimately held my hand through the checkout and shipping process. With so much less stress than I had anticipated, all thanks to Dalton, my husband now has a guitar on the way. I truly can't say enough good things about this experience. As someone who knows almost nothing about guitars, the idea of buying one online was somewhat terrifying. Dalton was incredibly patient and beyond helpful. I would absolutely recommend that anyone considering purchasing from Guitar Center who isn't entirely confident in what they want reach out to the gear specialists, as this was by far the best customer service experience I can ever recall having. I can't wait for my husband to have his new guitar and get to chat with Dalton about the new amp he wants to go with it!
