Exit 9 to Exit 18, about forty minutes, all Northway. It's a long enough drive that people bring the guitar with them instead of describing it over the phone, which is the right call: we can't quote a setup or a trade on something we haven't seen.

One we carry is the Martin 000-18. Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides, 000-14 Fret body, 24.9" scale, 1 3/4" nut, Golden Era (GE) Modified Low Oval, High-Performance Taper neck.

Clifton Park is the biggest town in Saratoga County, with about 38,000 people at the 2020 census.

The Drive

Clifton Park is the big Northway suburb at the bottom of Saratoga County, the largest town in the county, twelve miles up from Albany, and a place that mostly grew up after the highway came through.

About 40 minutes north on I-87, Exit 9 to Exit 18. Park in the Cooper Street lot at The Shirt Factory.

The X Series

Martin aims the X Series at first-time buyers and working musicians alike. It has a slimmer, beveled neck, a sloped bridge, and Martin E1 electronics with a built-in tuner, and the back and sides are high-pressure laminate with woodgrain patterns. The full list is under Martin guitars in stock. Every series we carry, with prices, is on Martin guitars in Glens Falls.

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.

What's on the Wall

6 Standard Series Martins are on the wall as of October 25, 2026. Road Series models when the budget is tighter. Occasional 15 Series all-mahogany guitars with a warmer, drier voice. If you're driving over for a specific model, call first and we'll hold it for you. If it's not on the floor, we can usually order it.

Body Size

The biggest choice in a Martin purchase is body size, and it's the one a spec sheet can't decide for you. A dreadnought projects hard. A 000 is tighter and fingerstyle-friendly. An OM has the 000 body with a longer scale length. You figure out which fits you by playing them back to back. Plan an hour if you're seriously comparing.

Humidity

Every Martin that leaves here leaves with a humidity conversation. Upstate winters drop indoor humidity hard, and a solid-wood top shrinks as it dries. Humidifier, hygrometer, above 45% in the case. We sell the humidifiers and walk you through it at pickup. There's more in how humidity affects your guitar.

Authorized Dealer

We're an authorized Martin dealer, so a new Martin bought here carries Martin's Limited Lifetime Warranty for the original owner (one year on the Little Martin and Backpacker). The warranty doesn't transfer, so a used Martin doesn't carry it.
