This week we\'re joined by Mike Ball of Seattle\'s Mike & Mike\'s Guitar Bar.\\xa0

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.\\xa0

It\'s a fascinating behind-the-scenes chat with one of the coolest independent guitar stores around.\\xa0
