Hi guys.. I'm building a custom guitar for myself and although it might take a year or a year and a half, I'm going to be using a set neck Gibson LP type guitar with just one pickup.. Probably a Duncan 59 .. The guitar will be a flammed maple or birdseye maple raw neck with ebony or maple (probably maple to match the back of the neck ) Finger board and all mahogany non carved body.. Just a cut out for the belly a tad, and just a forearm curve of the very slightest.. Anyway, this will be a guitar that is used for everything from metal if needed to blues.. but mostly bluesy type stuff such as Led Zepplin type stuff, Thin Lizzy, etc.. I want to get that classic 70's tone.. but I want to also sound modern a little and I'll do that by adding some effects such as Delay, etc.. I'm thinking the amp I should use would be either a 50 watt Marshall Plexi or Peavey 5150.. or Twin Reverb of older vintage in good shape.. Any suggestions? I want something responsive, with good sustain and warm sounding, not too brittle, but that will work well with or without effects, etc.. that will not turn to mush because of the speakers. etc.. What speakers would you use ? I'm going to be using a Combo by the way and I want something in the 50 watt range.. I'm thinkinig hard about either a plexi or better yet maybe a used 5150 as I think it would work well with the Duncan 59 pup in the bridge.. Just straight ahead rock.. Here are my influences..
