Fairview Heights Guitar Center is the… Fairview Heights Guitar Center is the best! It is a great group of people really looking forward to helping customers get into the world of music. Alex is a flat out rockstar. I have worked with him several times on purchases and trades. He goes the extra mile to make sure I get what I want and gives me a fair deal. He goes above and beyond every time. He calls other stores to check inventory, checks with his manager on discounts and truly listens and understands my wants and needs. I have been shopping at this store since the early 2000s and I feel it has only gotten better. Please continue to higher people like Alex. It is the people that make the difference.

Available for In-store pickup then was shipped??? I was told the item was available for in-store pickup when I placed the order, and 5 hours later was told the item shipped. I didn't even provide an address for the item to be shipped to because during purchase I was told I'd be able to pick it up at the store. False advertisement; don't take my money if you don't have the item available for sale.

Best CSRep experience! I had a CSRep named Alex who took my call and he was very helpful, patient and professional and very knowledgeable. He even helped me apply for a GC credit card and thoroughly explained everything from the financing point of view ro the extended warranty option and the 45 day trial period and much more. He assured me of watching over my account and item ordered and track its shipping. It was a pleasant sequence of events dealing with people like Alex.

A confirmed order canceled not by me. My original order (Order Number: GCSF0002550925) was confirmed on April 20th by e-mail. Today I get a phone call saying that the order of the mahogany D-15 was canceled. I did not cancel it. Can you tell me how a confirmed order gets canceled by someone other than me? On top of that no one can tell me how it got canceled. I would like to know what happened and/or how this happened! I was in contact with Gear Adviser Paul after I was informed that my order was canceled, and he bent over backward to make it right. He is the only reason that I reordered a different guitar from Guitar Center. Needless to say I was upset! I hope the guitar that I reordered is satisfying.

CSR Tom (in Bloomington, IN) rocks!! I had an issue with a new Marshall amp that I ordered online last week. Even after confirming via an email afterwards that I did not want a floor model from a local store, but rather, a new one in the original packaging, the "local store" shipped me a floor model anyway. I called the GC customer service line to hopefully halt the shipping and was lucky enough to have "Tom" answer. He was great! He was able to reroute the amp so that it didn't ship to me, and instead found me a brand new one using a nationwide search (since they were backordered on the factory end). Hats off to Tom from Bloomington, Indiana. A joy to work with.
