Ballston Spa and Saratoga Springs fought over the county seat until the Legislature picked Ballston Spa on March 14, 1817.
The Drive
Ballston Spa is the county seat, a small Victorian village five miles south of Saratoga with a downtown you walk: the courthouse crowd on weekdays, the shops and galleries and antique stores the rest of the time.
About 35 minutes: Route 50 or Route 9 to I-87 north, Exit 18. Park in the Cooper Street lot at The Shirt Factory.
Vintera III
Vintera III sticks close to the originals: a 7.25-inch radius, vintage-tall frets, and vintage-style pickups, in the shapes Fender made famous. It's the line for players who want the old feel new. Everything here right now is listed under Fender guitars in stock. Want every Fender line we carry, with prices? That's on our Fender guitars in Glens Falls page.
