Deke Dickerson has a great book 'The Strat In The Attic' full of stories which would have just about any guitar geek stopping at every tag sale or estate sale they see. Cool guitars are still out there in unexpected places.Thats close to a movie story. And every guitar freaks deam. Thanks for sharing, and all the nest from here!
While it would be cool to have the guitar, it's even better that it will stay in the family. The backstory is worth it imho.
