Matching guitar & amps

[Rog]

A long, long time ago I saw a matching CS Strat and Fender amp in the Wellington RS. They were both mother of toilet seat all over. It was a ghastly way to spend $10k in my opinion. Does anyone know who bought it??

What I didn't realise is that matching your guitar and amp is a common practice for some people. Do any of you lot do that?

Thats a great picture. Is It a Fender thing matching Amp and guitars.

[Rog]

I think so.

Here's a Tele with matching amp... not quite my taste!!

yep, 2 outta 11 pedals are black,

it's a Fender thing; I got a Fender Custom Shop calendar for Xmas a few years back and there were a lot of guitar/amp combos in that, too - in designs and finishes that fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down!! *shudder*

I actually think that row of matching Strats and HRD's looks really cool. But I'd never buy an amp on looks alone, it's such a vital part of your tone.

Why spend 10k? if matching colour is your thing surely a spray bomb at the cheap end, or the local car painter would do the trick -

By pure coincidence I have a bright red mesa boogie amp (custom vinyl) and a cherry les paul, and now a cherry 335. I must admit I like that they all match, and have thought about buying a red wah purely because I've come this far. I also have several red OD pedals which is pleasing to me.
