Review: Deke Dickerson is the MAN!!! - I've been meaning to write a 5-star review for the first "Strat in the Attic" and haven't gotten around to it yet, thought I've bought additional copies for friends and relatives who appreciate beautiful guitars and classic tales. I held off buying Vol. 2 for some unfathomable reason, maybe because of reviews talking about lesser-quality photos. But after reading Vol. 1 over and over, like a fine wine, I realized that Dickerson's writing is the draw, and the photos are the icing on the cake, so I took the plunge! And Vol. 2, in my opinion, may be even better than Vol. 1!! If for no other reason than, Hendrix-fan that I am, the essay on "The Magic Strat" absolutely stole my heart! No spoilers here, but Deke Dickerson is not only one of the world's foremost guitararchaeologists, but he's a heck of a... well... anyway he's a great writer. Who would've thought that the same '58 Strat passed through the hands of Buddy Holly, Hendrix, Billy Gibbons, Ritchie Blackmore, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton??? Dickerson's love for the music, the players, the genre, the instruments, and for CLEAN amps (??? who would've thought???) is a delight. This is an excellent book and Dickerson is my favorite guitar writer. Keep up the great work, Deke!~! Thanks for these first 2 treasures, and we look forward to many more!!
Review: Deke for president. - I'm a fan of all things Deke. Deke has an easy-to-read writing style, and the stories are interesting. Deke's interest in and knowledge of vintage guitars exceeds mine by a very very wide margin, and I am not always as enthusiastic as I think he would like for me to be about the instrument or person being described. Nevertheless, in my retirement I spend a lot of time at auctions and flea markets, and I know the thrill of the great find. Deke's books feed this interest very effectively. Deke frustrates me because he is a superbly talented artist who, in my opinion, undervalues his own talent and ability. When I see him playing live, he too often treats his unbelievable ability as a party trick or a stunt. The truth is, he is easily one of the best guitarists playing in any genre, and he is a good writer to boot.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Deke Dickerson is the MAN!!!
*by T***D on September 21, 2015*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great music starts with a great story....
*by M***R on December 1, 2014*

This was a wonderful book, especially as a follow up for Strat In The Attic. Deke Dickerson is a great writer and this covers some additional territory that wasn't covered in the original book. Look, even if you don't like or care one iota about guitars, the stories are fun and really cool. This book also has the unintended consequence of exposing people to early music industry icons and the business in its' earliest stages. And you'll get exposed to some musicians and music that you'd probably never heard of any other way. Deke thinks of himself as quirky and unusual. I hope he puts this quirkiness to good use by writing more books and making more music. If I had one criticism, it'd be that this book doesn't include a teaser trailer for Strat In The Attic 3 and 4!
