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 and illustrated with new and old images of the rare finds and the people who made music with them.

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.
