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.
