Over the past decade, Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar has grown from a two-man dream in a garage to over 6000sq ft of showroom, media creation, and vintage instrument dedicated restoration space in the heart of Seattle's Fremont neighborhood. We're proud to be one of the world's leading used and vintage instrument retailers, and a Pacific Northwest destination for instrument repair.

We hire individuals who are passionate and engaged, with the goal of pushing the boundaries of what's expected of an instrument retailer and repair shop, with a strong focus on engagement and expertise. Curation is central to what we do, and we want to hire people that represent a diverse music landscape, sharing our deep appreciation for rare, vintage instruments and unique modern gear alike.
