Guitar Picks in Glens Falls, NY
Guitar picks in Glens Falls: Paul's Guitar Hideout is right here in Glens Falls, on the second floor of The Shirt Factory. Two dozen pick packs from D'Addario and Dunlop, from $5.49, in a range of shapes and gauges.
Look magazine called Glens Falls "Hometown U.S.A." back in 1944, and the downtown still runs on that: a walkable main street, the Hyde, the Civic Center, and now a guitar shop on the second floor of the old shirt mill on Lawrence Street. If you're already downtown, we're a five-minute walk from Glen Street.
Where We Are
We're on the second floor of The Shirt Factory in Glens Falls, one of the more interesting buildings in the region. It's a converted 1902 shirt mill that's become a hub for artists, makers, craftspeople, and independent businesses. Painters, photographers, woodworkers, jewelers, and now a guitar shop. The building has a creative energy that fits what we do. 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.
Picks We Stock
D'Addario and Dunlop, standard shapes and thumb picks, thin through heavy. Picks are the cheapest experiment in guitar, and the one most players never run. Grab a variety pack and play the same song with each gauge.
If You're Starting Out
Start with a medium. It bends enough to forgive a heavy hand on strumming and holds up enough for single notes. Move thinner if you mostly strum, heavier if you mostly pick. More for new players: how to choose your first guitar.
The Drive
We're downtown. Park in the Cooper Street lot at The Shirt Factory and take the Cooper Street entrance up to the second floor.
