Nothing to do on a Saturday night? Have musicians or music fans visiting from out of town. Never a dull moment at Guitar Center Hollywood(7425 Sunset Blvd.).
Yes it's home to ROCKWALK (see previous post) but Guitar Center is so much more than that. Mecca, Museum, Mother lode...even if you can't play a note, it is the rare person who isn't impressed with the offerings of this place. Although having tolerance for a high noise level comes in handy. On a Saturday night there can be 3-10 people trying out guitars and amps, keyboards are to the rights, drum to the left and up the stairs. Very hands-on place where even kids are encouraged it give it a go.
The Acoustic and Vintage Guitar room tucked downstairs in the back displays guitars
signed by musical legends, and some one of a kind guitars featuring gold fret bars, mother of pearl inlays and rare woods, yours for $38,000.
Monthly event calendars are posted on the website including in store performances and personal appearances, but just hanging out there you might bump into a legend. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and friendly--as long as you behave yourself and respect the merchandise.
Store hours are Monday- Friday,10:00am - 9:00pm; Saturday 10:00am -8:00pm and Sunday 11:00 am - 8:00 pm
Free, off street parking is at the back of store.
