Where We Are

We're on the second floor of The Shirt Factory in Glens Falls. The building went up in 1902 as a men's shirt factory and made shirts until 1996. Today it's home to more than 70 studios, shops and galleries, and now a guitar shop. Use the Cooper Street entrance and take the stairs up. If stairs are difficult or you're bringing in something you don't want to carry up, call or text us and we'll arrange access.

Cables We Stock

Ernie Ball, Fender, MXR, Pig Hog, and Strukture, from short patch lengths up to long stage runs, including coiled cables. A cable is the least expensive thing that fixes a crackling rig, so it's the first thing to swap.

When It's Not the Cable

If a new cable doesn't kill the crackle, the output jack usually will. Loose jacks are a repair we do constantly, and a quick one. Bring the guitar in and we'll check it. More on guitar repair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How far is Paul's Guitar Hideout from Wilton?
A: About 20 minutes north on I-87. 71 Lawrence St. inside The Shirt Factory in Glens Falls, second floor.

Q: What length guitar cable do I need?
A: Ten feet covers a bedroom or a small stage. Fifteen to twenty if you move around. Keep patch cables as short as the pedals allow.

Q: My guitar crackles when I move. Cable or jack?
A: Try a known-good cable first. If it still crackles, it's the output jack, and we fix those at the shop.

Q: Does cable length change my tone?
A: Past twenty feet on a passive guitar, yes, audibly: capacitance rolls off the top end. Buy the shortest cable that does the job comfortably and your amp hears more of your guitar.

All the areas we serve

Cables fail at the worst moments. We stock working lengths, twenty minutes up the Northway: ten footers for the bedroom and practice space, twenty for anywhere a stage is involved. The difference is not just reach; long cheap cables eat treble.
