Look magazine called Glens Falls "Hometown U.S.A." back in 1944, and the downtown still runs on that: a walkable main street, the Hyde, Harding Mazzotti Arena, and now a guitar shop on the second floor of the old shirt mill on Lawrence Street.

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.

Strings We Stock

Electric, acoustic, and bass sets from D'Addario, Ernie Ball, and Martin, in light through medium gauges. We also keep banjo, mandolin, and ukulele sets on the wall, all D'Addario. If you play something we don't stock strings for, we can usually order them.

Restrings

A restring is $25 for guitar or bass, $35 for a 12-string or mandolin, and $40 for a classical or a locking tremolo. 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. If the guitar hasn't been set up in a while, a setup ($79) includes fresh strings.

When to Change Them

Dull tone, tuning that won't hold, and a rough feel under the fingers are the usual signs. For more on timing, read when should you replace your guitar strings.
