AND MUSICIANS FRIEND ran by the same company and did this same crap to me a week before i ordered to blue toms they sent a red one and orange one so avoid but.

I'm a 50year old male that has been shopping at G/C for nearly 2 year's for accessories for my two guitars and have referred several other friends their who bought acoustic and electric guitars, amps, strings, pic's. Many items are needed to keep a guitar and guitarist stocked so they can enjoy playing. I have been married for 28 years to the same woman. We joined her credit union when we got married years ago. In the past a credit union was a private bank and saving corp. In my wife's case her Dad was Fireman and belongs to a City Credit Union. My wife as his daughter made it possible for us to join. Later on in the mid 90's? or so Credit Unions dropped the private part due to some law of discrimination and now allow anyone to join. We joined to get lower loans which is why credit unions were popular back then. Our checking account tied to the debit card is in joint checking. When she applied for Debit card for the account they put her name on the Debit card. I don't think there is room for two full names First, middle, Last. I have made purchases on our debit card for years. Sunday May 1, 2009, I went to buy Elixir strings and a fret board cleaner at G/C. The people who work their know me when they see me. The guy rang up the price I gave him my card he looked at it and I saw he was puzzled. I tried to tell this kid who's half my age why the card only had my wife's name, credit union rules etc etc. He then asked another guy who probably didn't want to work that Sunday, (this guy who's seen me many times who might me a manager of sorts) and he OK'ed it reluctantly . I then said Credit Unions only put...he then said I worked at a bank in fraud detection and that's basically fraud but I'll let it go this time. I bought the strings because I was going to jam that afternoon with some friends. Now I wish I had of told him to fuck off and fraud my foot up his ass. This isn't the first time I was miffed at G/C . The last time I was getting a Breedlove down from a a rack to try it and was told by this lard ass who was walking by the glass door leading into the room, that I should get some help getting a guitar down. I told him he ought to have his helpful self in the room and be helpful. Walmart and G/C are neck and neck with lousy service and no help to be found and if found they have attitudes.. Oh check out the Breedlove Testimonials and you will see I left and went around the corner and bought Breedlove from the helpful staff ( Brandon) at ART'S MUSIC, they are helpful without being a bother and close enough if needed to give you a hand or a answer. I don't appreciate a punk telling me I was committing fraud when was using my debit card. My wife had credit cards with my name on them but they are in both our name's. Maybe Jr needs to go back into banking and learn what fraud is before gets his button opened by those kinds of remarks.

The Guitar Center is a major ripoff store for refunds!!! READ THE BACK OF THE RECEIPT CAREFULLY!!! The problem is, you don't have the receipt until AFTER you have made the purchase and AFTER the salesperson has already lied to you about returns. I purchased a speaker system and was told I could return it within 30 days. I returned it a week later and was told there was a 15% restocking fee. That was never explained by the salesperson! When I returned the item, he turned over the receipt and showed me the miniscule print that explained the actual return policy. BEWARE!! They also said they could not accept a returned wireless microphone, but that was not told to me in advance either. After fighting with the salesperson and then the manager, I got my money back 100%. Don't let them rip you off!! Better yet, DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE OF BUYING THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Do not use this company/Outfit. I ordered an Epiphone dot 335 ($399) and a case ($80) by credit card. I got an email a few days later saying there was a 3 month backorder on the guitar but they have sent the case??? I mean what idiot in their right mind would send a guitar case without a guitar? Its all about getting your money!

I was told to go to a hardware store to purchase screws for a guitar. This, of course, was after they told me that they had the screws and come on down to purchase them. I wasted my time and my gas! I got screwed!
