Guitar Center is the largest musical instrument retailer in the United States, founded in 1959 by Wayne Mitchell in Hollywood, California, initially as The Organ Center selling electronic organs before evolving in the mid-1960s—prompted by The Beatles’ influence and the addition of Vox amplifiers—into a guitar-focused store renamed Guitar Center. Headquartered in Westlake Village, California, the company operates over 300 stores nationwide and offers a wide range of products including guitars, basses, drums, amplifiers, keyboards, pro audio equipment, recording gear, and accessories, serving musicians at all levels through both physical locations and its online platform at guitarcenter.com.
