Thunder Road Guitars PDX

Thunder Road Guitars is hands down one of the coolest guitar shops in Oregon. They’ve got a killer selection of high-end guitars — Jackson Custom Shop stuff, vintage pieces, and all kinds of gear you don’t see every day. If you're into quality instruments, this place is a goldmine. The staff was awesome — super friendly, helpful, and never pushy. They really know their stuff and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. Whether you're just browsing or seriously hunting for your next guitar, this is definitely a shop worth checking out.

Love this place. The selection is incredible and the prices are as good as you'll find. Staff is very knowledgable and friendly - special thanks to Knuckles for the setup on my guitars (ask for him).

These guys have a wonderful collection and are super nice. They had one particularly hard-to-find guitar I was interested in- I was visiting Portland from out of state, and they went above and beyond to answer my questions beforehand and let me check it out. Thank you guys so much! Highly recommended. This store just has a really nice, welcoming, and friendly vibe.

My experience at TRG was great because of the people. I'm not an experienced guitar player; I'm the guy who somewhat dreads playing a guitar at all in a music store in front of people. While other guys are shredding, I'm strumming some open chords feeling like I'm a fish out of water and have no business looking at high end guitars. Well, the guys at TRG were warm and welcoming and gracious to this novice. Will and John both made sure that I was comfortable, answered all of my questions without a hint of an eye-roll, and seemed genuinely engaged. I bought a very nice guitar for a very fair price and I couldn't be happier with the experience. I'll be a return customer without a doubt. Thank you!

Great neighborhood guitar shop. They restrung my nylon string guitar with strings that had balls on the ends of them. Those broke about two weeks later. I know strings break, but strings that are tied (without a ball) have a little more wiggle room/flexibility. On the up side though, they cleaned the fretboard and applied some finish oil to the wood. Also a knowledgeable associate gave me a brief history on my Lyle classical guitar, and I left with a new tuner.

This shop is way cool! Great friendly attendants and totally awesome vintage guitars and amps. Man if some of those items could talk they would really have some stories to tell! They also offer luthier work very professional and excellent. Matt is very knowledgeable and really knows how to fix em! 😃

Great store! I had never went to this store before, but decided to go there because I had seen on their website that they had some unique vintage guitars and it did not disappoint! I spent a good amount of time here and ended up buying a 1950 Gibson J-45. The owner was very nice and was a pleasure to work with. He was able to answer all of the questions that I had. If you’re looking for a professional and unique guitar or amp, I highly recommend checking out this place.

I've been following Thunder Road Guitars on Instagram for a few years now and have been meaning to check out the store in person just as long. Today, everything lined up for me to do do and I'm stoked to have jumped on the chance! My whole experience since first walking through the front door, finding the guitar I was looking for, trying it out, and making my purchase, was excellent and I highly recommend anyone in the vicinity to go and check them out. Thank you Thunder Road dudes for assisting me with my 40th birthday present! 😎
