my guitar and amp provide all the tone and playability that I need, its down to me now and my playing ability to complete the chain
and get the sound I want.............
^Good advice to most of us I reckon!
My favourite guitar at the moment is my Organic, 'cos it's what I'm used to now and it does the job. Saying that I've felt necks that I prefer, picked up guitars that are lighter, some that acoustically even sound better, i.e. hollowbodies. But before all the custom luthiers barge in on that, I'll point out that if this guitar had the neck of, say, my old Pacifica (which I reckon my impressionable left hand of 5 years ago molded itself to!) I don't think I'd like it any better 'cos a narrow girly neck would feel totally out of character with the rest of the instrument. And if the guitar were made any lighter it wouldn't sound the same.....you get the picture!
As for amps, my fave at the moment is a Harry Joyce for its clean sound and convincing power valve break-up. I'd also love a Matamp King Street for its power valve breakup again as well as it's incredible cleaning-up ability; then I'd want a Gibson GA-40 for jazz, Roland Jazz Chorus for the sake of it, and a JCM 800 'cos nothing else sounds like it.
Or I could stick to my Seymour Duncan Convertible 60 which is a nice (i.e. cheap!) compromise between most of the above.
As with the guitar, it does the job! :)
