As for my ideal rig; This baby and a Boogie MKV. The guitar alone is $2500 so I went a bit over budget here but I’ll gladly spend the extra money!

Very cool responses. The only reason I mentioned a budget is so that respondents would be somewhat realistic and not throw pie-in-the-sky/if I won the lottery combos out there. Ergo, don't sweat stretching the budgetary aspect too much....

Even if that combo were a brand new DeVille 410, and a brand new USA made G&L ASAT Bluesboy, it would still slide in under your 3k budget.

I like a Gibson Les Paul through my Marshall Vintage Modern. I'd love to have a Friedman amp though. The Les Paul sounds great through it.

Not to avoid the question, but I think there is a third, critical factor to consider in this combo: The player. The performance of an electric guitar through an amp is so dependent on the player's technique, feel, and touch, that I think the three need to be looked at as a single system. Moreover, the other components of the player's "rig" (strings, pedals, picks) will have a major influence on the tone.
For example, though I have owned many electric guitars, and several amps (both tube and SS), I think the best tone I ever got (for me and my playing) was on a Classic Player '60s Stratocaster (MIM) through a Roland CUBE-40XL amplifier (SS)! That said, the starting point for me when looking for great tone would be a solid-bodied guitar with two humbuckers played into an amp based on a Fender blackface-era valve amp. Rock on!

That is the way Marshall amps got started: they couldn't get Fender amps in UK, so this Marshall guy started producing blackface copies. He did talk to some British musicians during the development, though.

Due to life's little surprises, I'm in the 'Financially Dead' camp. So the gear I use has to be my ideal. Guitar wise, I'm quite happy with a home brew Tele I completed 16 years ago from USACG wood. Chambered mahogany body with a Lollar Low Wind Imperial in the neck and a custom wound bridge pup featuring Alnico 8 mags wound to 12.5K. The neck was built to my specs and is the absolute best feeling bolt on neck I've played. This guitar still inspires me every time I play it.
Amps are an 80's Peavey Studio Pro 12 I spent $40 on and a $150.00 Monoprice 15 Watt tube (EL84's) amp. These two amps compliment each other very well and running both in stereo with a few select pedals and my trusty volume pedal, provide all the tones I require. |

The opinions will be as varied as the players. For me, at this particular time, I am absolutely happy with my American professional Telecaster, and my Fender Blues deluxe 40w. It is a great combo, and the cleans are blissful to my ears.

I think it depends on what platform you run on. My idea was to get a clean amp with lots of headroom and use pedals for everything else. So my 80's vintage TS-9 takes care of the OD problem with Twin amps. I do like the OD on the Mesa and don't understand why so many reviews of it back in the day were negative about it's OD channel. I think it sounds great. I still use the 22 as my practice amp. |

For my vote, the tweed Bassman and a Stratocaster with vintage output pickups. Simply dripping with tone.
