I never use the clean channel on a guitar amp. If I want a clean tone, I'd play an acoustic guitar. Please note that I don't own an acoustic guitar.
So even tho the task requires that I pick a guitar to "round out my tonal paintbrush", I would have to note that I don't use a paintbrush. I'm the troglidyte on this forum that paints on the walls of his cave using his bare hands, but is fortunate enough to have acquired some decent tools that alow my massive force and obvious animal magnetism to shine through. I refuse to water down the "art brute" nature of my work by owning a tool I find inferior to my task at hand.
That being said, I've wanted a Malcolm Young model forever as it fits my need for a basic guitar that can take a beating. But I would just butcher it with an emg and a Floyd...because I'm a cave man.
