Oh what better place there is to make you want to commit suicide than Guitar Center! Seriously, how do their employes stand it? A bunch of whack "musicians" coming in and wanking off on equipment all day long. I can't stand to be in there any longer than ten minutes. How can someone put up with it for an 8 hour shift? I pity the employees, I really do. For that reason, I have respect for them because they've always been kind to me despite how annoying their job may be.
There's not really much else to be said. It's the Wal-Mart of music equipment. Go there and buy whatever you need, I guess. Personally, I'd go with a locally owned business first.
