Guitar Center was established in the East Bay back in 1983 on Adeline Street in Berkeley, Ca. It was then relocated to El Cerrito in 1996 where it spent 15 years serving the greater East Bay. This year in February we moved into a beautiful new location in the thriving city of Emeryville right at the eastern foot of the Bay Bridge. We provide service to the great cities of Berkeley, Oakland, Alameda, Albany, San Leandro, Castro Valley, Hayward, Richmond, Pinole, Vallejo, and Benecia just to name a few.
