My vote goes to buying the best amp that can be afforded. My $400 guitars often play better than the more expensive ones, purely as a result of setup. However, dialing in your tone through a proper amplifier (preferably with some volume) is a special experience that cannot be recreated by any other means.

Yeah big difference between noodling away solo at home and on stage with a rocking band! Cheap amp could well be pretty much unusable in live scenario. That said you can try a secondhand top quality solid state amp like an Orange or Peavey that won't have issues tube amps are more likely to have.

One of the katana’s tricks is diming the gain and volume on the clean channel and then controlling the volume with the master. It gets so much more responsive than the crunch channel. Gives you a little bit of break-up with single coils and some nice chrunchies with hb’s.

I would go the expensive guitar, affordable amp route. Because if you have a guitar that is easy and fun to play, you'll play it more and that's the whole point. I got by with a cheap amp until I saved up for something bigger and better. I started playing when cheap guitars were awful, my first (used) electric guitar was $25 and it was not great. I saved up whatever money I could earn for 3 months to buy it because my parents felt if I wanted something that "extravagant" I should pay for it myself. A good guitar is always a better choice, IMO.

considering that most of the players are just going to play in their bedrooms, or at maximum gig with friends, I would also go for a more expensive guitar rather than a more expensive amp. It's actually even possible not to have an amp at all and play via plugins on your computer, but the learning curve may be frustrating. Using some multi-fx unit for this purpose would be a great option, especially for beginners who don't really understand the tone they want to invest in. An expensive guitar, though, may be fun to play even unplugged.

Great video. My choice would be expensive amp over expensive guitar. I have a Mesa Triple Rec and Peavey Invective 120, both with their matching 4x12 cabs, and they make every guitar sound amazing. An expensive guitar will feel and play way better than a cheap one (though there's really diminishing returns on this after about 800 bucks), but it won't give me the sound of a triple rec or boosted 5150 when played through a cheap amp, and a cheap guitar can be made to play and feel amazing with a good setup and maybe some cheap mods.

The Pacifica and the Katana are just fantastic bits of kit. I really wish the Katana had existed when I was much younger.

You can't go wrong with that rig, but I bet you'll eventually realize getting a good amp doesn't really correlate with "being good enough".

Luckily, the Bugera G5 is super cheap and so are Celestion V30 1x12 cabs. Enjoy your setup!

I personally love the nicer guitar-decent amp setup. Having a sweet guitar really makes you want to play more. And with a decent amp there’s usually more versatility. In the case of the Katana, it does more than one trick. I feel like putting your money all on an amp is like getting a one trick pony. I have a mod-shop Fender Strat and a Marshall CODE 50. Does it all great-other than looper pedals. For some dumb reason the CODE doesn’t work with looper pedals. So someday I’ll pickup a nicer amp, but in the interim, this works great.

Personally I would go for the more pricy guitar. Many say the opposite but almost all the feel is in the guitar from a playing perspective as well as sustain and how well the guitar keeps the tune. Cheaper guitars tend to have an unbalanced tone (either too sharp or too mellow) as well as some can be a bit unpredictable quality wise. The new generation of amps such as boss katana really are very price worthy. Only time I would go for fancier amp would be if you needed a bigger amp for rehearsing or gigging. This is however my personal view, also I do think it differs depending on what style of music you are playing. The more distortion used the more you get the sound from the amp or pedals, but good luck getting a fat jazz tone from a squire strat.

Of course Rob went Pacifica again, you can't go wrong with Pacifica or Katana, it's just a shame that there's no more in store segments looking at the stock, I miss that.

So looking forward to this one. Wife asked me which I thought was best option. I said expensive guitar, for playability reasons. Wonder what you will conclude.

@@hafstrat Within it's design confines any guitar can be set up to play perfectly unless it's broken or trash. Not knowing how to play the guitar in an effortless manner is not the fault of the guitar. Providing you know how to play the instrument at a proficient level any guitar that isn't broken or trash can be set up to play effortlessly regardless of it's price. I'm not going to play Eruption, Ride the Lightning, Crazy Train or Trilogy Suite on any of my Spanish classical guitars for obvious reasons; Those guitars are designed for different purposes. My Spanish classical guitars are set up meticulously for Flamenco and classical. Mediterranean Sundance can be played effortlessly on those. I used to think big necks were a problem for agility when playing. I gripped too hard. After meeting a few of my heros they all gave me the same advice. Thumbs are for stability not gripping. This is why you see guys like Yngwie Malmsteen playing 8 gauge strings on a scalloped fretboard without any tuning instability when he plays. If he gripped in the slightest his intonation would be all over the place. The same goes for Billy Gibbons, B.B. King, and so many more. In the professional studio world it's preferred to use smaller gauge strings, because it tightens up the saturated distortion tightening up a mix resulting in a more polished sound from the start. The same method is used for clean tones as well. Playing in this manner negates issues with large necks on guitars.

On the side of the amp, to me depends too much on what are you going to do: maybe a nice but kind of expensive valve amp is too much if you only play at home as a hobby, and something as a Katana can be enough with a Epi LP Standard or something similar. I don't doubt there is a lot of people buying expensive guitars without knowing how to play it properly as well, and just have them hanging on the wall as a luxury ornamental thing at home, because they have the money. It's really something personal, on your budget and your needs.

I gotta out that money towards the amp. Today's less expensive guitars are really well made, and one can always put new pups and wiring in them. That Yamaha sounds awesome through that Supro.

Thank you Lee, for having and demonstrating good vibrato. Sooooo many KZitem guitarists have terrible vibrato. (Which can be terribly distracting.) Of course Chappers and Pete are on point, but I consider you to be every man's/women's guitarist. So, thanks again for filling that roll admirably, without the cringe-worthy vibrato that I so often have to endure just to get through a YT video. I'm serious. It means a lot to me

Merry Christmas to all!! Amazing video and thoughts! Well a good guitar can only go where the amp tells so probably the best way was the PRS through the Supro for 1500!! Be that as it may, I think that PRS and boss are a very strong comb! Really nice!

i'd go expensive guitar cheap amp: ORANGE Super Crush + Gibson Les Paul Studio. Once you're gigging... you need the amp. So then it would be a 5150iii, which you just get while you already have the LP Studio you've had for years. Or you could also rent an amp for gigs.

Like the sound of the Katana most to be honest, the Supro feels a bit too bitey to me. Although the Katana did miss depth it was a more pleasant sound in my opinion. Even when playing the SE through the Supro I preferred its sound through the Katana.

For the first time in one of these, I don't think it matters. Both rigs are perfectly serviceable and giggable. Personally, I'd go Katana and more expensive guitar, but it's just preference at this point.
