I'd rather crap all over a thread and give out CORRECT, DETAILED information, than contribute to the already seething pools of old wives tales and snake oil there already is out there when it comes to the subject of guitar tone.

This thread began with you asking a question to which the only definite answer comes from the idea of 'I like this players tone and he usually uses this so I choose option A'

But as myself and Mr Dave pointed out, often production on a record isnt USING that guitar. Page might play an LP in the public eye but on record he could have been and frequently did use anything he wanted to at the time. Same with many many artists.

Not to mention that with the factors of studio magic, the poor quality of most peoples Hi-Fi systems, the reasonably low bitrates of CD, amp settings, double tracking, compression, mastering, mixing, etc etc etc.

Those things I just mentioned, coupled with many more, mean that anyone who can claim to say definitively 'This type of guitar was used on this recording' is lying through their teeth or has been otherwise informed somewhere. The amount of post processing and the differences in players rigs and settings and fingers, make it impossible.



Many people in a thread like this, will come in, and in a blind personal preferences stupor, will answer the question based ONLY on what they think is 'better', which is in turn their opinion because they've been told so by their favourite guitar hero that 'this that and the other are the best tonewise'

And of course because people are ****ing sheep, no-one except people like me and Dave, is actually well informed enough or has the guts to go against the established 'country wisdom' and actually DO THEIR ****ING RESEARCH.
