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.

Queensbury is a suburb of Glens Falls and one of the last bastions of commerce and population before the Adirondacks.

The Road Series

Martin built the Road Series for players who need one guitar for home, rehearsal, the studio, and the stage. It comes two ways, Retro for vintage looks and Modern with cutaway access, with solid spruce or sapele tops over scalloped X-bracing and Martin E1 or L.R. Baggs electronics. Each one ships with a softshell case. The full list is under Martin guitars in stock. Every series we carry, with prices, is on Martin guitars in Glens Falls.

What's on the Wall

6 Standard Series Martins are on the wall as of November 6, 2026. Road Series models when we have them — Martin voice at a lower price point. Occasional 15 Series all-mahogany guitars: warmer, drier voice.

Inventory rotates. If you're driving down 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 in from Martin.

Body Size Is the Thing to Figure Out

The biggest choice in a Martin purchase is body size. A D-18 and a 000-18 have nearly identical specs except body, and they sound and feel different. Dreadnought projects hard with a strummed pick. 000 is tighter, more focused, better for fingerstyle. OM has the 000 body with a longer scale length.

You figure this out by playing them back to back. That is what an in-person Martin shop is for.

Humidity

Every Martin that leaves here leaves with a humidity conversation. Upstate New York winters drop indoor humidity hard in January and February. Martins respond fast to that. Humidifier, hygrometer, above 45% in the case. We sell the humidifiers and walk you through it at pickup. For more on why this matters, read How humidity affects your guitar.

Used Martins

Used Martins come through regularly. Every Martin in stock now is on our Martins page.

Setup

If you want a full $79 setup dialed to your preferences before taking the guitar home, we can do that. 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.
