The Strat in the Attic: Thrilling Stories of Guitar

The Strat in the Attic: Thrilling Stories of Guitar Archaeology

Guitar sleuth and music-history detective Deke Dickerson tells the true tales of 50 thrilling rare guitar finds that will make guitarists green with envy. A golden Fender Stratocaster hidden away in an attic for 30 years. A sunburst Gibson Les Paul worth $100,000. Jimi Hendrixâ€™s Strat burned by the guitarist during a concertâ€”and then mysteriously lost for decades. The mint Fender Broadcaster forgotten under a bed in a neighborâ€™s house. The 1960s Rickenbacker bought for $50 at a garage sale!Â
Â
These days, classic vintage guitars can bring Ferrari and Porsche prices. Baby boomers who wish theyâ€™d been rock â€™nâ€™ roll stars have shot the market into the stratosphere for classic models. As with automobiles, finding that classic guitar stashed away beneath a bed, in a closet, hidden away in an attic, or in the dusty corner of a guitar shop is the Holy Grail.
