9-42 meets ATB Guitars

The one where we learnt a load about buying & selling Vintage guitars.

I think it's fair to say we would all like to be making a living in the same way that Mike Long does. Mike formed ATB Guitars in 1998 and since then he has been half way around the world on the trail of the kind of guitars most of us can only dream of. To date nearly 5000 instruments have passed through his hands, and he has dealt with a great dollop of Rock Royalty along the way.

We had a fascinating chat, and as well as a few little tips about where you might go for a 'vintage bargain' he also explained how he he gained his first bit of notoriety in the early days of eBay.

I'm Jason, and when I am not co-hosting this podcast I am trying to organise the next Guitar Show. The other co-host is Ant, we've known each other for years and he's the fella that pressured me in to doing this.

Each episode we will endeavour to bring you the stories behind the gear, to talk to the artists, the influencers and the manufacturers that keep us playing and loving the guitar.

I have been tinkering with audio since my mid-teens, recording songs & producing content for friends.

Post university I embraced the world of retail, firstly in supermarkets and later in & around the music instrument industry.

After 20 years or so, I took a sideways step into podcasting and began a venture called ashortstories, which helps in the development & production of podcasts for anyone that has a story to tell.
