West Seattle businesses: Thunder Road Guitars about to open

(Photos courtesy Frank Gross)
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.

Looks like the building says 3916.

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

Awesome! Will they have gluten-free guitars? Please, please, please!

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) …

Great post Sonoma!!!! I love it.

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.

@ 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,
