The Drive

South Glens Falls is the village straight across the Hudson from Glens Falls, wrapped inside the Town of Moreau, where Route 9 and Route 32 come together on the Saratoga County side of the river.

Cross the Route 9 bridge into Glens Falls and you're about 5 minutes away. Park in the Cooper Street lot at The Shirt Factory.

The Junior Series

Martin makes a point that the Junior is not a short-scale travel guitar. It's a smaller body on the full 24.9-inch scale, with solid tonewoods, a gently beveled fingerboard edge, and E1 electronics with a tuner, in 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.

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

We regularly stock Standard Series Martins: D-18, D-28, 000-18, OM-28. 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.
