Guitar Setup Near Bolton Landing, NY
Paul's Guitar Hideout is about 30 minutes south of Bolton Landing, in Glens Falls. $79 standard, $99 specialty (Floyd Rose, 12-string, classical). Drop off during shop hours, no appointment. Our repair work is documented publicly in the Repair Vault.
9N down the west side of the lake to the village, then 87 south, about thirty minutes. Bolton is a summer town, and a guitar left in an unheated lake house over the winter comes out in spring with sharp fret ends and a dry top. Bring it down before it goes back up.
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.
What a Setup Includes
Truss rod to correct relief. Nut slots checked and filed if high. Saddle action dialed to your preference. Intonation verified at the 12th fret. Fretboard conditioned when it's dry. Fresh strings installed. More on what a setup covers and why: what a guitar setup includes and why it matters.
Service is first come, first served. Need it back by a certain date? Let us know at drop-off and we'll do our best to accommodate.
Standard vs. Specialty
Standard, $79: Most electrics, most acoustics, most basses. Full setup, fresh strings.
Specialty, $99: Floyd Rose and other double-locking tremolos, 12-strings, classicals. The extra covers the additional setup time these instruments need.
Some guitars need more than a setup, and a few aren't worth the work: how to know if a guitar is worth repairing.
The Drive
About 30 minutes: 9N down the lake to Lake George village, then Route 9 or I-87 south to Glens Falls. Park in the Cooper Street lot at The Shirt Factory. Drop-off takes a few minutes. We look at the guitar with you and confirm standard or specialty.
