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.

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. There's more for new players in how to choose your first guitar.

A: About 20 minutes north on I-87. 71 Lawrence St. inside The Shirt Factory in Glens Falls, second floor.

Q: What pick gauge should a beginner use?
A: A medium, around 0.73mm. It handles both strumming and single notes while you figure out which way you lean.

Q: Do you carry thumb picks?

Q: What pick gauge should I use?
