Guitar Picks Near Warrensburg, NY
Guitar picks near Warrensburg: Paul's Guitar Hideout is about 20 minutes south of Warrensburg on I-87. Two dozen pick packs from D'Addario and Dunlop, from $5.49, in a range of shapes and gauges.
Twenty minutes south, Exit 23 to Exit 18. The World's Largest Garage Sale takes over Main Street the first weekend of October — this year it's October 2–4 — and every year a few guitars come out of it needing strings, a setup, or a nut. Bring it down; we're on the way home.
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
About 20 minutes south on I-87, Exit 23 to Exit 18. Park in the Cooper Street lot at The Shirt Factory.
