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 19th century textile 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 you need assistance, give us a call and we'll come down.

Bring the guitar in, we look at it together, the problem gets explained, you get a flat number before anything starts. No surprise charges. If something shifts mid-repair, you hear about it before we keep going. Not sure if it's worth repairing? How to know if a guitar is worth repairing.
