Albany, capital of the Empire State, is a musically diverse and talent rich area. And Guitar Center is here to serve the music community with the best selection and service possible. Whether you are a touring professional or a beginner, we can help you select your instrument and support you with top flight guitar tech service through GC Garage.  Here are some of the reasons you should choose us for your musical needs:

• Our selection is enormous. From ultra low priced starter gear to the finest guitars, drums, PA and recording gear. You will find it all here. Check it out in our hands-on environment.
• We have the largest selection of used gear you will find anywhere.  We pay cash for used gear or you can save on your new gear purchase when you trade.
• Free recording workshops every Saturday morning. Great info and special deals.
• Our GC Garage Tech, Peter Fisher, is a graduate of Roberto Venn Luthiery School. He can handle any job from a string change to a headstock repair. See Peter to keep your guitar in top condition. Most walk ups are finished the same day.
• Be part of the crowd that supports local musicians at our annual Drum Off and King of the Blues competitions.

After eight years of serving the capital region, we hope you will drop by and hang out, talk gear or find the instrument of your dreams.
