The storefront’s painted, the signs are up, and Frank Gross is about to open Thunder Road Guitars at 3916 California SW (formerly Olivia’s, and before that, Moxie). He’s planning a “soft open” 10 am-6 pm tomorrow and keeping those hours daily until the official grand-opening celebration the day after Thanksgiving (aka Black Friday). As noted in our previous coverage, till now, he’s sold vintage and used guitars online – and now, there’s a showroom:

Thunder Road is online at thunderroadguitars.com.

  3. Moxie had that address so our source material might be wrong. Fixing.

  5. For once it’s a new biz that’s NOT an eatery. Actually we’ve had a couple lately (Cloud City Skateboard Shop, Morgan Junction CrossFit, West Seattle Fight and Fitness) …

  7. Checked them out at the West Side music business thing at Feedback a while back. They only had an overly expensive and mainstream selection, so I wrote them off as unrealistic source for me. I hope the shop does differently, because I definitely want to do business with them.

  8. @ Mark S. Thanks so much for stopping by the West Seattle Guitar event at the Feedback in September. We try and carry a wide selection of vintage and used guitars and amps, focusing on higher end stuff. If there is a specific guitar or amp you’re after we would be thrilled to help you find. Stop in and say hi!

    All the best,
