The Drive

Wilton is the town north of Saratoga where the shopping is: the mall and the big stores off Exit 15, Route 9 and the Northway running parallel, and a lot of newer neighborhoods on the flat ground along the river.

About 20 minutes north on I-87, Exit 16 to Exit 18. Park 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 and used acoustics. Before you buy, read our used guitar buying checklist.

If this is a first guitar, read the beginner page on new versus used, then the guide for the new guitars under $300 with prices.

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: Electronics

On an electric guitar, test every pickup, every switch position, every pot. Scratchy pots and dead pickups are common and usually cheap to fix. It's on our used guitar buying checklist, the list we'd run through ourselves before buying anything.
