When musicians turn to Roland, they expect the best. The company has earned that reputation with bold instruments that make a lasting impact. Their synths and drum machines have defined entire genres. Countless students learn on their starter keyboards, while concert pianists trust Roland digital grands. V-Drums and FANTOM workstations are always pushing the limits of technology. And with BOSS pedals and V-MODA custom headphones, the Roland family touches every corner of music.
The Roland Store at Guitar Center reflects that same passion for excellence. Housed in select Guitar Center stores, these custom-designed spaces are staffed with a dedicated specialist, hand-picked for their expertise in Roland products.
Contact your local Roland specialist to schedule a private demo with any product from BOSS, V-MODA or Roland.
