So, one week the only thing I want to play is a Jazzmaster through a clean Fender amp. Humbuckers and Marshall amps suck. Yeah, baby, this is my tone..twang!
And then...later that same month...
Hmmm...this Les Paul is actually not that bad. Especially through the Marshall. Humbuckers! Yeah, baby, this is the sound. That single coil shit can do one.
Or...
10s. I gotta have 10 gauge strings on all my guitars. Good girth, solid tone. Love it. 9s are way too weedy.
Later that month...
Hmmm...these 9s are real slinky. They bend just great. How did I ever manage with 10s? Let's swap these suckers out.
Rinse and repeat.
Anyone else? Is there a name for this?

One week I want a high gain monster like a 5150 with a 7 string tuned down 12000 octaves.
The next I want a Strat into a little Friedman set up with a Delay pedal.
We just have so much choice available to us now days that we get silly with these things.
I really want a Marshall SC20 (Mini JCM800) to go with my EMG loaded LP...
2 weeks ago I really wanted a proper twangy Telecaster and a Princeton.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
Saying a particular guitar/amp combination is your sound is silly, does that mean you can never pick up an acoustic or a bass?

I have a strat, tele and a 335 copy, a modelling amp, a small combo for home and a blues jr for taking to jams and one pedal board. That covers all the bases and means if I get bored of fendery sounds I can play humbuckers through a marshall voiced modeller.
I will move guitars on and buy others (for the sake of it often) but no more than 3 electrics (boss's rules) but I don't often dislike anything I have.
He is to telecasters what HarrySeven is to weird guitars.
