As a young Lad, I played what ever guitar I could afford and get my hands on. Now I play what guitar feels the best in my hands and gets me to my tone the quickest, price is not as big a deal. Give me a Fender, Gibson, PRS, and what ever amp you like; I will still dial in my tone.....even if I have to stick a pedal in front of it.

...and THAT is the truth !!!!

When I was younger I had the sports car then the luxury car.  My mid-life crisis is how I ended up with all my studio gear as well.
 
Still searching eBay to buy some talent though...

Wel sed... don't worry about the talent, just turn it up.
 
Mid life crisis indeed!! Sometimes it seems like my whole life has been a crisis but there is nothing like a bit of loud guitar for therapy. However, no matter what guitar I play or what amp I play use, I still sound like me.
In the words of DL Roth, "Too much is not enough".  
I need a new guitar and amp.

Reminds me of the story where Eddie Van Halen and Ted Nugent were both set up somewhere (don't recall if it was for a concert or in a studio).  Regardless, each tried out the other's setup and both ended up sounding exactly like they normally do!  I also remember a story Walter Trout told me about how SRV started out playing through one amp (a Fender Twin?) then evolved to this complex combination of ten(!) different amps and yet he ended up sounding pretty much the same as he did with the one amp.  Heh.

I remember reading something like that. During a soundcheck, Nugent insisted that Eddie had some special device that gave him this insane sound of his, so Eddie proceeded to show him that his sound largely comes from his fingers and that Ted Nugent through EVH's rig sounded like Ted Nugent.

So if tone comes from the fingers, then Iommi is doing more with less, ya?
