If you're in Glens Falls or the surrounding area and want to sell a guitar, you have a few options. Most people choose between selling it privately or bringing it to a local shop. Here's what each one actually looks like.

Sell it locally at Paul's Guitar Hideout

Bring it in during shop hours. We'll look it over with you, tell you what it's worth, and make you a straight cash offer. If you accept, you leave with money the same day. No listing, no waiting, no meetups with strangers.

We buy guitars in most conditions. If something affects the value — a crack, a repair, missing parts — we'll tell you upfront and explain how it factors into the offer. More detail on the Sell Your Guitar page.

Paul's Guitar Hideout is inside The Shirt Factory at 71 Lawrence St., Suite 201B, 2nd Floor in Glens Falls. Open Wednesday through Sunday, 12–5pm.

Sell it privately online

If you'd rather list it yourself, Reverb is the most guitar-specific platform. Facebook Marketplace works for local sales with no fees. Private sale will usually get you more money — but you handle the photos, the listing, the messages, and the meetup. For a guitar worth a few hundred dollars, most people decide the convenience isn't worth it.

Trade it instead

If you're not set on cash and want a different guitar, a trade might make more sense. You apply the value of your guitar toward something in the shop and walk out with a different instrument the same day. More detail on the Should I Sell or Trade My Guitar? and Trade Your Guitar pages.

What to bring

When you come in, bring the guitar and anything that came with it — case, original tags, paperwork. It doesn't change the offer dramatically, but a complete package is easier to sell and we'll factor it in.

You don't need an appointment. Come in during shop hours and we'll take a look. Prefer to send photos first? Get in touch.

Paul's Guitar Hideout is located at The Shirt Factory in Glens Falls, NY. Use the Cooper Street entrance and take the stairs up. If you need assistance, give us a call and we'll come down.
