Guitar Shop Near Albany, NY

Paul's Guitar Hideout is about 45 minutes north of Albany in Glens Falls. Authorized Fender and Martin dealer, used inventory worth playing, repairs and lessons under one roof.

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.

What's Here

Used inventory rotates: Fender, Gibson, Martin, Yamaha, Squier, Epiphone, Takamine, and more across electrics, acoustics, and basses. New Fender and Martin as an authorized dealer for both. Accessories, strings, cables, humidifiers.

Call ahead if you're making the drive for something specific. We'd rather tell you it's not on the floor before you leave Albany. Before you buy used: used guitar buying checklist.

Albany has plenty of guitar stores. The ones who drive 45 minutes north tend to be people who actually like guitar shops — the kind that come in to browse, talk through gear, and see what's on the wall this week. We try to keep the floor interesting for that.

We do guitar repair and setups in-house. Fret work, electronics, nut and saddle replacement, tuner swaps, pickup installation, structural work on acoustics. Standard setup is $79, specialty (Floyd Rose, 12-string, classical) is $99. More: what a setup includes.
