Used Guitars Near Saratoga Springs, NY

Paul's Guitar Hideout is about 30 minutes north of Saratoga Springs on I-87. Used guitars, new Fender and Martin as authorized dealer, repair work, setups, and lessons. 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.

Northway north to Exit 18, about thirty minutes from Broadway. Left off the exit, straight into downtown Glens Falls, park in the Cooper Street lot.

The Drive

Saratoga is the big neighbor to the south: the track, SPAC and Broadway, a resort city for two hundred years and still growing, with the Northway running right alongside it.

30 minutes north on I-87, Exit 18. Parking in the Cooper Street lot at The Shirt Factory.

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 Floor

Inventory varies week to week. Used guitars come in on trade, get evaluated and set up, and go on the wall when ready. The brands listed below are what's typically here, not a guaranteed list. Call or check the site for what's in stock today.

Fender, Gibson, Martin, Yamaha, Squier, and more. Used electrics, acoustics, and basses. What's on the wall right now is on our used guitars page.

Browse used electrics, used acoustics, and used basses.

Before you buy, read our used guitar buying checklist.

Wondering whether to upgrade what you own instead of replacing it? The answer is in upgrading a cheap guitar: what's worth it.

Used can put a better instrument inside a first-guitar budget; the beginner page explains how, and the guide prices the new guitars under $300 for comparison.

Who Drives Up From Saratoga

Saratoga players who drive up tend to be coming for something specific. Caffè Lena runs music most nights of the week, SPAC brings national acts through in summer, Putnam Place and Parting Glass keep a real local scene going. Track season from late July through Labor Day brings a different mix through the door, visitors with time to spend and a reason to wander into a guitar shop.

Pricing

We check what these guitars are actually going for on Reverb, eBay, and similar, and price accordingly. If you're selling and want to know what to expect, read how much is my guitar worth.

Trade or Sell

If you have a guitar to sell or trade, call or text first at (518) 217-8695, or bring it in during shop hours. We'll usually have a number for you before you leave.

Buying Used: Headstock and Neck Heel

Look for cracks, repairs, or signs of a break. A repaired headstock isn't always a dealbreaker, but know what you're buying. It's on our used guitar buying checklist, the list we'd run through ourselves before buying anything.
