TV Jones
TV Jones Guitars is a boutique brand renowned for meticulously recreating the vintage aesthetics and tones of classic Gibson and Gretsch instruments, particularly from the 1950s and 60s. Founded on a desire to authentically capture those golden-era sounds, they’ve built a loyal following among players seeking vintage character without the vintage price tag or potential maintenance headaches. Their pickups are arguably even more well-known than their guitars, often sought after as drop-in upgrades.
