"Guitar set-up"

Someone started a topic on technology set-ups, dvd, ps2, tv etc, so i thought id do one for guitars, as there seem to be a lot of guitarists here. Here's mine:




Guitars

- Epiphone Les Paul Standard with Gibson Burstbucker pickups, Switchcraft toggle switch and Gibson tone/volume pots
- Sigma Steel-strung Acoustic with Piezo pickup.


Amps

- Marshall TSL100 Head with Marshall 1936 2x12 cab
- Use of Ampeg 70W 2x10 combo with chorus and reverb


Effects

- Jim Dunlop Crybaby Wah-wah pedal
- Digitech RP300 Multi-effects Proccesor


'Wants' List

- Another Les paul with EMG-ZW pickups
- Marshall 4x12 for the TSL Head
- Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Head
- Digitech Whammy Pedal
- MXR Phase 90
- MXR Zakk Wylde Overdrive



So what does everyone else out there have? And please nobody mention those 'Affinity' Stratocasters that you can buy from Argos for £100!! :D

You don't want to know how crap my cheap set up is.

1 x heavy old guitar.

I have a crappy bass that hasn't been re-strung in about a year so the strings are actually rusting... And a crappy practice amp.

My brother has a few guitars and recently got a Spider 2 (think it was Spider 2 anyway, but may have been Spider 1, there was a lot of confusion as he got it off Ebay and they sent him the wrong amp first time... :S) Digital Amp with a huge floorboard with pedal and wah and all that jazz. Twas pretty loud too.

Yes and no. Epiphone Les paul like the one i got, they range from about £200 to £900, but proper Gibsons like 90% of pro guitarists use, and which i SO badly want, start at about £800 (if your lucky), and, well, upwards basically! £1,500, £3000, £35,000, £45,000, depends how much you want to pay. I think once you reach a certain price no guitar can be worth over a certain amount of money, unless it's Jimi Hendrix's white strat :D
