Guitar Shop Near Washington County, NY
Paul's Guitar Hideout is in Glens Falls, just across the county line from Washington County. Players come in from Greenwich, Fort Edward, Hudson Falls, Granville, and across the county for repairs, setups, used guitars, and lessons. No appointment needed.
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 We Carry
Used guitars across electrics, acoustics, and basses. New Fender and Martin as authorized dealer. Strings, picks, cables, capos, and the accessories people actually come in for. Inventory rotates, so if you're driving in for something specific, call first. First guitar? Electric vs. acoustic for beginners.
Repairs and Setups
We do guitar repair and setups in-house. Washington County players deal with the same climate as everyone else in the region: dry heated winters that move necks, raise or drop action, and leave fret ends feeling sharp by February. Most of that is a setup problem, not a repair problem. A standard setup is $79 and it's usually all a guitar needs after a hard winter. More: how humidity affects your guitar.
Simple jobs turn around fast. Structural work takes longer. We give you a timeframe at drop-off and stick to it.
Guitar Lessons
Lessons are with Travis Gray of Wild Adriatic. Real touring player, teaches here in person, one-on-one. No method book unless a student wants one. See how lessons work.
Buy, Sell, Trade
If you've got a guitar to sell or trade, call or text first at (518) 217-8695, or bring it in during shop hours. We'll usually have a number for you before you leave.
