Fender PA100 thanks to Sonny. I luuuurve it. It's loud as balls. Coolest part is now I can be lazy and never unplug anything ever again. Have my modular going into one channel, my guitar signal split going into two other channels. Think I'm gonna get a new tank for it to try out

I think any guitar can be good for teh doomz toanz, again, some are better, but it's all a matter of degrees and fine tuning.

With an Epi or any other less expensive guitar, they get assembled and shoved out the door, then onto a shelf at GC or wherever. Unless a bored employee who knows what they are doing sets it up, chances are things are just kinda in there, and not optimal.
To get the most out of pickups, try this. Get your amp set to your favorite sounding clean setting. no pedals, no effects, just strings>pickups>amp>speaker. Now raise and lower the pickup (one at a time) until it sounds its best, the fullest loudest sound that you can get out of it. do the same with the other pup. Now engage them both, to bassy? lower the neck pup a bit. to much treble? lower the bridge one. When you get it close to "best" sounding, fine adjustments work better. A single turn can have quite an impact. if you've allready done this or you do it and still are not happy with the sound, There are bunches of great pickups out there you can try. I'd keep the stock ones in a drawer so if/when you sell the guitar you can put it back to stock. I'm a fan of Lace alumitones, I'm sure others will pipe in with their favorites.

Of course I don't have the same amount of stuff as a lot of guys on here, but at the same time I don't know how I could feasibly use all of the things I kind of want anyway. The idea of a dual amp rig is becoming increasingly common, as is the backup guitar I want for the band that I don't play in.
