Jonathan Wilson - US Social Club Session (Live on KEXP)

in music •  7 years ago  (edited)

The US Social Club looks like a really cool place to see a show and the quality of this video is almost good enough to watch this full-screen.

Jonathan was making reliced Telecasters a while back, and Taylor Goldsmith from the band Dawes has one of them:


Excerpt from What is the Best Guitar Lick Ever Written?

Taylor Goldsmith:
I have an old white [Fender Telecaster] that Jonathan Wilson gave to me. Aside from the obvious sentimental value, it’s so well built and the guitar I’ve spent the most time on. Guitars can be like shoes in the sense that sometimes you have to get used to them, but then they feel like they were made for you.

Here's a look at Taylor's reliced telecaster (image courtesy of PremierGuitar.com):

I read that Fender cracked down on Jonathan, allegedly, because his relic jobs were so convincingly real looking. Go figure ...

Pretty impressive , growing up I'd always wanted to know how to play a gutair in front of a crowd .

So beautifully played loving the tunes so heart touching

I'm not a great fan of relicing, but I know some people want a new guitar to look well played. I prefer honest wear, but it can take many years.
