Scott Henderson, Robben Ford and Larry Carlton have some of the best tones going. But that's just my personal taste of course.

You may like it, other people might not.

Loads of good suggestions in the thread here. As ever, impossible say what is "best" when it comes to music.

Frank Zappa always used some interesting guitar tones in his playing. Lots of different sounds to choose from in his work. I've always liked this liquid tone in 'Pink Napkins':

Actually, you know what? It's my Baja, middle position, through a cheap-ass Behringer blues OD and a Peavey Vypyr 15, drenched in reverb, in my spare bedroom with Fred the cat dozing on the bed and clothes drying all around me.

Only thing that makes me happier is biting my son's bum.

Lots more great ones though.
Many to love, but a big +1 on that one.

Minstel In The Gallery - Jethro Tull Martin Barre's tone on this one is superlative!

Something about a live performance where its just on the ragged edge of setting a new world record, or detonating like a nuclear bomb.

Something like this:



Just my humble opinion though.

ymmv...............

This is it man. This is the tone as far as I am concerned.
Allman Brothers and Derek Trucks. I could listen to them all day. Lots of soulful playing there. Great phrasing, harmonized leads, cranked amps, dynamic picking....sounds so good to me.

Really digging the tone that Lance Keltner gets out of the Naylor Superdrive too.
I like the low input tones he's demoing at 1:40 here:

It's so hard to pick just one. But here's one of my favorite Gretsch tones:

Very good call!
One of my favourite solos of all time!
A cure for gravity!
