Guitar Shop Near Hudson Falls and Fort Edward, NY

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.
Hudson Falls is right next door to the east, over the line in Washington County: a village with a green in the middle of its business district and the Feeder Canal trail running through it. Fort Edward is down Route 4 from there, the county seat, where the Champlain Canal comes into the Hudson and the train still stops.
What We Do
Used electric guitars, acoustics, and basses on the floor. New Fender and Martin as authorized dealer for both. Guitar repair and setups in-house, documented publicly in the Repair Vault. Lessons taught in person by Travis Gray.
Everything in one place. No appointment needed to come in and look around or drop off a repair. First guitar? How to choose your first guitar.
Repairs and Setups
Players from Hudson Falls and Fort Edward bring guitars in regularly. It's a short drive. Common things that come in: guitars that haven't been set up in years, fret buzz that won't go away, electronics cutting out, acoustics that have been through dry winters without humidity control.
We look at it with you, explain what it needs, give you a number before we start. A standard setup is $79. Most guitars that haven't been touched since they were bought need one. There's more in what is fret buzz and how to fix it.
