As I have stated many times, I am not a guitarist. When I was a kid, I dabbled a bit - as most kids do, most kids do - but I found bringing thunder was more to my liking. I do know, of course, that a good amplifier is a must for any serious guitarist, and that means a good amp head is also a necessity. Luckily, you do not have to spend a fortune to find one.
