About this listen
Guitar sleuth and music-history detective Deke Dickerson tells the true tales behind 48 rare-guitar and amplifier finds that will make any player or collector green with envy.
Finding that holy grail of a guitar stashed away beneath a bed, in a closet, in the dusty corner of a guitar shop, or up in an attic is something that all guitar aficionados dream of. Strat in the Attic shares some of those real-life stories, related in spine-tingling detail by the author.
Savor these and more believe-it-or-not stories of guitarchaeology:
- A hoarder’s attic stuffed with nearly 600 vintage guitars still in their boxes.
- A mint 1954 Fender Telecaster tucked under a bed in a family friend’s house.
- Jazz legend Charlie Christian’s Gibson ES-250, spotted in a magazine ad.
- A rare-as-hen’s-teeth Shoreline Gold ’56 Fender Stratocaster hidden in attic for 30 years!
For guitar collectors, players, and admirers alike, these stories provide a satisfying way to scratch that rare guitar itch.

Critic reviews
"(Deke Dickerson is) a gifted musician, writer, archivist and sleuth–clearly a hillbilly renaissance man–and knows how to spin an engaging yarn. The Strat in the Attic is a well written, high quality, full color book that will engage any active or armchair fan of electric guitars."–All Music Books.com
"Deke Dickerson... This guy is of an altogether 'nother breed. He coined the term for his particular case of severe OCD "Guitarchaeology." This man will track a guitar for literal years. He will fly to small towns on the basis of a rumor. He will pore over sales records from guitar manufacturers and retailers from decades ago, looking for a scrap of a clue, he will wait years for an owner to finally give in and sell. Okay, here's who Deke Dickerson is, encapsulated in just one of his dozens of amazing and thoroughly entertaining stories..."–HuffingtonPost.com
