text: Guitar Center comes to the east valley I have to say I have been so excited to know that a Guitar Center was going to be so close to my house I have been going to the Tempe location for years I am hoping that soon I can add a few more stars in a future update Today was a BIG disappointment I think the new employees need way more trainingnnPros A Brand New Guitar Center in the East Valley A large selection of amazing guitars drum kits and a variety of other instruments nnNeeds Improvement I interacted with over employees and I have no idea who they were they never introduced themselves or even welcomed me to the new store The Tempe store was a great place to go there is just a cool welcoming vibe I sure hope that this location grows into that type of place The employees are new and they are just learning they were not very up on what grand opening specials they had and then when I asked about a special on some software Like what exactly does the software do multiple employees had no cluennThis is just a young store and I hope that it will get better over time right now if you are someone who has been to the tempe store the new mesa store is a bit differentnnAs someone in Pro Audio I was really excited to see how they were going to showcase the PRO equipment I do not think that the corporate office really thought this through There is no room for monitoring speakers the pro audio section seems like an after thought by corporate I cannot believe that they do not have a separate room for DAW demos like in Tempe They have one for the drum cymbals nothing for the PRO equipment I think they really missed the marknnI was really hoping that this would become a place where they would have Avid Demo nights and special clinics It does not look like that is going to be the casennLike I said before I will be back and I hope that can add a few stars today is all that I can give
