Deke Dickerson Guitarchaeology - Raw-Hide

A guitar geek film about Deke Dickerson and Link Wray’s late 50’s Danelectro.
This is another short that wasn’t exactly planned. We went out to Cleveland to interview Deke for The Cynics documentary we’ve been working on since 1857 but Deke is so gosh darn entertaining that we just kept the cameras running. The result is what happens when you’re just barely coherent enough to think “maybe I should be recording this” and are just lucky enough to have a little battery life left on the cell phone.
If the subject matter here excites you, find a copy of Deke’s book, “The Strat in The Attic.” It’s a fun read.
Thank you to Deke, Joe, Kyle and everyone else who appears here and special thanks to Andy Leach and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for treating us so well.

Nicely done. Interesting. Good job!

Notice the "look" on Deke's face when he hit the first chord of "Rumble". That is THE look we all get starting that song. My Grandmother would get the same look (if she played!).

I can't believe any ol' Joe Schmo could have bought this guitar off of ebay...I'm glad Deke Dickerson picked it up and knew what he had! Great authentic versions of those songs in video too. Thank you Deke!

For some reason Deke looks like Bill Clinton playing Link Wray's guitar to me. lol
All jokes aside, thank you for sharing this video!

this is an incredibly well done doc.

Interesting video. Thanks.

Why is Link's name not in the title of this video? Just like real life, can't get no respect.
