I have about 3500 to spend on either a great sounding amp or a kick ass guitar, and just wanted peoples opinon on which one they think is more important to have in getting great tone. I already have some cool gear such as the Lone Star head by Mesa Boogie, a Eric Johnson Strat, a couple of other strats, and a nice tele with Semyour Duncan pickups. The sound I get out of my Lonestar with the various guitars is cool, but it isnt really geared towards lead playing. I can get cool, blues rock tones, such as The Cream, or SRV, but if I want to wail like Eric Johnson, or Steve Vai, it lacks sustain. I already have a amp that can sing, now I just need one that can scream? On the other hand maybe I just need a guitar that can handle what I am looking for? I dont know, what is your take on this? THANKS
