Podcast 444: Mike Ball of Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar

This week we're joined by Mike Ball of Seattle's Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar.

We go deep into their history, how they grew from a garage operation to a beautiful storefront in Seattle, and so much more. Mike walks us through the daunting world of Japanese-market Fenders, explains why Epiphone Casinos are hard to keep in stock, and talks about how they find their vintage inventory.

It's a fascinating behind-the-scenes chat with one of the coolest independent guitar stores around.
