Does Guitar Center Repair Amps

• Some fraudsters accept compromised TGP accounts have in the past few days. They have scammed members in the Emporiums by creating ads with stolen photos and requesting Paypal F&F or Venmo exclusively for payment.

  We take these issues seriously. Nosotros've made security changes that I don't desire to particular here to terminate them. Withal, the all-time way to prevent this is for members to exercise proper password hygiene (which I'll detail beneath), plough on two-factor hallmark, and -- I implore every single person here -- only use payment methods that have buyer protection. Unfortunately, nosotros cannot control how members do deals. Information technology is heartbreaking to see that the lure of saving some money will still fool people into using those methods to save a few dollars. In today's world, that is faux confidence you can no longer afford.

  Every account that I've restored so far to the original possessor was using compromised passwords. Talking to one member as I am working through getting his account back in order, he informed me that his Apple password manager had been compromised and made available on the dark web.

  None of the accounts compromised were using ii-factor authentication.

  We have forced electronic mail revalidation for all members that have non signed on for a while. We highly recommend every member reading this change their passwords as a precaution. Nosotros desire to highly recommend that members turn on and employ TGP's two-factor authentication selection.

  We have opened a discussion thread in the Pub section discussing this.We volition include a very detailed password checklist.

I have a Fender Blues Deluxe ReIssue amp that has started to make some crackling noises. Looking for an authorized fender repair shop, I thought I'd try Guitar Center. I called them and told them my problem about the Fender Amp and the noise and the kid says yea we have a repair guy on site till 7pm this night. I haul the amp out in that location, bring it in and the Guitar Centre "greeter" says, oh, nosotros don't have a amp repair guy. Nosotros dont fix or service amps at all, just guitars. Then he says, kinda snotty, Y'all know, Fender makes guitars and amps. Wow, I never knew. Thank God for Guitar Eye!

Tell the greeter they might desire to let the salesman who answered the phone know the deviation.

• #4

They are wise if nothing else.

My fav was leaving the store empty handed and the door greeter asked me if institute everything i needed. I miss the greeters. So smart so important.

Ah, you don't actually want to submit an amp to GC for repair.

Get some place where there's real expertise.

• #half dozen

I didn't fifty-fifty know GC did amp repairs.

• #7

I would Not trust Sam Ash or GC to repair annihilation, & I mean anything!

• #9

Guitar Center is the Walmart of guitars. Retail, without a service department. That'south their business model. No fault of GC.

• #ten

The Sam Ash in Huntington NY has a phenomenal repair department. Every repair or enhancement they have done for me has been infrequent. Having met so many gigging musicians in my area, many of them bring their repairs to this Sam Ash location.

I would not trust Guitar Middle to replace my loftier eastward-string permit lone anything else.

A lot of GC'south that "practice" amp repair actually sub information technology all out. They'll have your amp and so, once or twice a week, ship a van-load of repairs to the local amp guy who used to get all that work. Same for guitar repairs in a lot of them. If you can find out who they're sending their work to you can get the same piece of work for a little less, plus you tin go face-to-face with the person who will actually be doing it. Saves the "playing telephone" problem of getting your complaint directly to the repair person.

I used to have a Mesa Marking V head and it needed to accept some warranty service. There'southward only one warranty repair guy in my country.. later on a 2.5hr bulldoze I dropped information technology off to him. He mentioned he does the repair work for the local GC there..

And so I guess when they set amps, they source it out like someone else mentioned.

Looking for an authorized fender repair shop, I thought I'd try Guitar Middle.

Well that was your outset mistake.

Try the pencil test on your preamp tubes, and go from there.

• #16

The Guitar Centre around here takes amps and sends them out to another local repair shop...and probably takes a picayune off the tiptop. At the very least, I'd think you could go a recommendation for an amp repairer from someone at GC. But and so once again, the quality of their employees seems to be on a downward rails.

• #18

So you decided to accept your amp to GC for electronic repairs? There'due south a bully Sam Elliot quote that goes along with that idea.

• #19

Guitar Center does not do any in business firm amp repairs.
Menses.
