Looking for your daughter's first guitar or the perfect piece of studio equipment to make your recording?

Guitar Center San Diego has been a staple of the music scene for many years. Our San Diego stores have hired and bred some of Guitar Center's finest employees including several Regional Vice Presidents. The current location in Grossmont Center is one of the most successful in the country.  We have a very knowledgeable and friendly staff- some who have been here for 10 years or more, and many who are extremely involved in the local music scene.  We offer a professional guitar tech at our GC Garage, and GC Pro associate for professional and business accounts, and the finest selection of fine musical instruments in San Diego County.  In addition, we have just added Guitar Center's first rental program. 

Some of our customers include San Diego's premier studios and live music venues.  We have also serviced and provided gear to local, national, and international artists from San Diego, or just passing through.  We are also very proud to be a leading provider of musical equipment for many venues and artists in communities throughout neighboring Mexico.
