Watchtower Guitars is extremely excited about this original GVCG Guitar built and aged by Jonathan Wilson. This '55 Telecaster with Blonde 1 piece Ash body just kills. We love how Jonathan was able to get the yellowing patina on this piece. These guitars are all tone monster's and the aging is great. Enjoy!
Greenwich Village Custom Guitars (GVCG)
A guitarist, producer and songwriter of enviable talent, Jonathan Wilson has toured with Roger Waters, worked with Jackson Browne, Dawes, Father John Misty, and a host of others. In the early days of his career, Jonathan made world class S and T style instruments under the name Greenwich Village Custom Guitars (GVCG) for himself and his friends, such as Lenny Kravitz. Logically, first in NYC, then ultimately on to CA – a move which effective rebooted the Laurel canyon sound … as per recent interview in Vintage Guitar magazine:
-
“I made them out of necessity, really; I needed guitars that felt and sounded a certain way, and outside of playing a real ’62 Strat and a ’57 Telecaster, this was the only way to do it.”
-
“I had a knack for making instruments sound and feel authentic, and that resonated with the players who got their hands on one.”
