I have played Gibson guitars mostly through the years and have had several models including 2 les Paul black beauties, one gold top, an early 60's SG with a Les Paul neck (Les Paul Junior), another Les Paul with P-90 (single coil) pick ups and a 345 stereo BB King Model. With KC I played a Stratocaster and a Telecaster.

Currently however, I play a Paul Reed Smith Santana III (out of production) model that has a great tone, sort of like a Les Paul, but can sometimes get a strat sound mixed in there somehow depending on how the amp is set. Of course, nothing ever really sounds like a strat or a tely (telecaster). Since I am also a fan of the Fender guitar, I have a Stratocaster as well as a Gibson Les Paul DC standard plus ( DC is for double cutaway), and a Gibson Les Paul traditional (shown above on the left).

Amplifiers throughout have been many, Fender (Twin, Deluxe, Bandmaster, Showman, Concert), Vox (Super Beatle and Viscount) and Ampeg (VT-22 and VT-4 100 watt stack).
The amplifiers I currently play are Mesa Boogies combined for a stereo effect I get from an AB configuration through a Boss pedal board. Occasionally I may use a  boogie f-30 or f-50 (out of production) or a 1980's 50 caliber Mesa Boogie 50 watt head to drive a Boogie extension cab or the Rivera cab..
..Celestion V-30's are also in the mix with a Rivera 4-12 cab loaded with 4 V-30's as well as one in the Mesa and 1 in the Boogie extension cab. The boogie f-50 has a C90 -  90 watt speker.. different applications may apply depending on how big or small the venue is, sometimes I'll use 2-12's, 4-12's or all 6.. in any event, the sound can be quite rich and full..
