What's on the wall
“I recently brought in a new Fender American Pro Jazz Bass for a pickup swap out (V-mods to Dimarzio Model J's).”
“Ever changing, decently sized selection of very reasonably priced guitars, pedals, and other guitar accoutrements.”
“He was very friendly too and made me feel welcome, something I’m not super used to in guitar shops.”
“You can’t go wrong with a $50 base price on a full setup, either, so I’ll be back soon!”

From the reviews
I stopped yesterday for strings, a strap, and picks and was elated with my experience. The bald fella with glasses helped me and was very knowledgeable about their stock, offered demos of everything I asked about, and recommended a set of strings that I’m thrilled with (D’Addario NYXL 11’s).
Great service and great prices. John and Paul were extremely helpful and patient in helping me find/purchase a specific guitar. I believe it's imperative that guitar/instrument stores are very personable, and these guys are one of the best people.
John and the guys are great. Have always helped me out whether it's little tricks, or pricing, or just all around taking the time out to make sure you're best taken care of. Very knowledgeable group. Have bought 4 guitars and 2 amps from there and will continue to do the same. You guys rock.
The folks at Adirondack Guitar provide a special service for those who play left handed. They offer stellar service at very fair prices. My bass was shipped cross country, and arrived quickly in flawless condition. My expectations were far exceeded and I highly recommend them.
Selling or trading gear at Adirondack Guitar
Adirondack Guitar comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
Lessons at Adirondack Guitar
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Adirondack Guitar. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments on hand for exactly this reason.
