They sold me a FAKE ESP Guitar.....and they had no idea.

that headstock logo being THAT off center is an immediate giveaway lol

GCs online used guitar section is like dark web shit from 10 years ago. 2 pictures for a $1000 guitar? get bent.

Can’t wait to see this one get re-listed on the GC site 🤣🤣💩

Guitar Center no longer has any kind of actual knowledgeable musicians or salemens for that matter. It's become the walmart of music stores they don't know shit anymore.

Ali baba- search ESP guitar and the very first listing is this very guitar lol

They sold my friend a fake Fender Telecaster. The guitar dude at the pawn shop had to break the news to him.

Holy crap.. the E2 logo isn't even in the right position.. probably the worst fake i've seen in my life. Wrong finish Wrong font in the logotype Wrong placement of the logotype Wrong headstock size Wrong pickup selector Wrong knobs Wrong hardware and color Wrong binding Like how is this even passable by the dumbest of employee at GC.

This is one of the videos where I wish youtube would allow us to comment memes

Guitar center has a 45 day return policy in used items. This is justified to use

giving the side eye to all my guitars in my music room while watching this.

GC employee 1 “hey dude does this guitar look odd to you?”, GC employee 2 “naahhhh bro this is fine, stick it in the box”

It’s always a fine line between helping people pick out counterfeit guitars and helping the counterfeiters make a better fake by pointing out their mistakes.

The guitar centers I’ve gone to within the last few years have been dreadful. All employees, even the managers seemed suicidal and defeated.

Brooo. Funny enough I thought I saw an obvious fake Les Paul with them the other day. I was 90% sure it was a fake. But there was that 10% of me that was like “nahhh, no way would guitar center fall for fake guitars.. you’re wrong they’re right, they are the professionals” after seeing this I am now 100% confident I’ve found a chibson on there website.

Send this to Glen so he can prove how active pickups dont matter for the tone in metal :P

I use guitar center to window shop and see if there is something that I didn’t know I like. Then I go elsewhere to buy one. 😂

I mean, retail is dead. The people making money from retail killed it. They're still gonna make they're checks with skeleton crews making peanuts. Why? Jeff bozos and Walmart. I take drugs to remember 80s and 90s malls. One of the few privileges of being older.

I don’t blame you for not calling. I don’t do business with them OR musicians friend (sister company). I had a nice guitar I bought brand new from musicians friend and when I got it, it had a chip in the headstock. Let me clarify: a new $3000 guitar with a chip in the headstock. Turns out they sourced it from a guitar center and it had been sitting on the rack forever. I called that guitar center personally to talk to the sales manager, and when I started telling them the issue, before I got to it, the manager goes “ohhhh, you got the one with the chip in it”. They knew it was busted and shipped it anyway. They then tell me I need to return it at all local store. I did this and for a month, they screwed up and never returned my money. So I got to a point that boiled over and the local manager FINALLY tells me this is a process they’re not supposed to do, they took care of me, and I vowed to never do business with those fuckers ever again. EDIT: the pickups on that guitar are also the wrong ones. That guitar came with 57/66, and those look like a knockoff 81/85 set.

Your knowledge on Chinese nuts is impressive. LOL

I’ve worked for 3 different guitar centers. That job SUCKS. You can’t make any money unless a buyer is in store, everything else is a major hassle. And if you get a phone buyer, esp if it’s something used you have to split your commissions with whomever bought the guitar into the store. Don’t recommend buying from guitar center unless you can do everything yourself online.
