A note about "Tone":
Guitarists are always seeking the perfect "Tone". Tone is completely subjective and, along with phrasing and fingering technique, is what makes each guitarist unique.
In the quest for Tone, guitarists constantly change their gear until they find the guitar, amp and effect that.
Of course, many guitarists become "addicted" to accumulating guitars and gear. In 2003 my friend Gopal bought a new Epiphone LesPaul because his vintage Epiphone "Strat" wasn't working ... here is what he has "aquired" since then:
