New Amp or New Guitar: I Bought The Amplifiier

I am not just saying this because I hate Strats - My vote is for the amp with the hope that a handwired, modern Fender will sound better than what they are selling now. Just find the tone mushy*. My Silvertone 1484 (poor man's black face Twin Reverb) blows it out of the water. Having a great amp is key. You can make the cheapest piece of driftwood sound killer with a great amp. Plug a $3k beauty into a crappy solid state practice amp and you'll get crappy sound.

 

 

 

 

*Been thinking lately about selling my 65 Deluxe Reverb reissue again, but I need to have some type of replacement for jamming at home.

I voted amp. I'm a tube amp freak and that one is pretty cool.

 

While I gigged a Strat for a few years I just don't like the thin sound. They are comfy, but I just don't like the sound with the vibrato, and don't like the hardtail design........

 

Amp.

Well,

I'm leaning towards the amp myself.

It's 2K and in Boise, Idaho.

 

The guitar is a beauty. I like the fact that the guitar has so many appointments.

Bone nut, reverse polarity middle pickup, aged plastic parts. It really looks killer.

 

I'm torn between the two.
