Guitar Shop Near Me — Capital Region & Adirondacks
Paul's Guitar Hideout is in Glens Falls, NY, inside The Shirt Factory at 71 Lawrence St., Suite 201B. It's the only dedicated guitar shop in Glens Falls itself. The shop serves players across the Capital Region, Warren County, Washington County, and the broader Adirondack region. Wednesday through Sunday, 12 to 5pm.
How Far People Drive
Most of the regular traffic comes from within fifteen minutes: Glens Falls, Queensbury, Hudson Falls, Fort Edward, Lake George. Setups, lessons, Saturday afternoon walk-ins.
Saratoga and the rest of Warren and Washington counties are twenty to forty minutes out. Those folks usually come for something specific: to play a Martin before they buy it, drop off a repair, or start lessons with Travis.
From the Adirondack Park, Albany, or further out in the Capital Region, it's forty-five minutes to two hours. Camp owners come down at the start and end of the season because the climate up there is hard on guitars. Albany players make the drive because there aren't many shops left with a real used wall and repairs done in-house.
The pages below are organized by what you came here for: the shop itself, repairs and setups, lessons, used guitars, and the Fender and Martin authorized dealer pages. Pick the one closest to where you're driving from. The repair bench's work is documented publicly in the Repair Vault.
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.
