Used Guitars in Glens Falls, NY

Paul's Guitar Hideout carries used guitars across electrics, acoustics, and basses. It's the only dedicated guitar shop in Glens Falls itself. Every used guitar gets set up on the bench before it goes on the wall, and the bench's work is documented publicly in the Repair Vault.

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, the Civic Center, and now a guitar shop on the second floor of the old shirt mill on Lawrence Street. If you're already downtown, we're a five-minute walk from Glen Street.

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 1902 shirt 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 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.
