About Danny D's Guitar Hacienda

Danny D’s Guitar Hacienda is a family owned and operated business in operation since 1981. Don Threlkeld and his son Bruce started it in Seabrook Texas as Mr. T’s Pickin’ Parlour and was dedicated to acoustic instruments and Bluegrass & Gospel music. In 1984 Danny Douglass came to work as a repairman and in 1987 with new wife Lynn took over operations of the small shop changing the name to Danny D’s Guitars. A year later it was expanded to 4 times its size and by 1991 moved to Webster and was called Danny D’s Music Center a full line music store.

2004 brings us to the opening of the Guitar Hacienda. The name is inspired by the ancient stucco building and it’s Texas heritage in old downtown League City Texas. Danny D has rededicated the shop to everything about guitars, amps and repairs.
