Guitar food groups and must try guitar sounds

Jaguar mid position lead voice thru a 6g16 reverb tank into a fender blackface (or transitional brownface ala Bassman 6g6b) with some palm mute for plocky drippy nirvana

Yeah, this is basically my dream set up. Got the jag and reverb tank but where and how does one aquire something approximating a brownface fender?
I actually saw the amp in question at Clarrys last week sk there's at least one in the country.
Ps do you play live? Always looking for other true surf enthusiasts

Oh this is going to go well!

Well
You get one made
Or you find a 6g6 clone in production
Or you remortgaged and find an original 6g6

He mostly plays outside Bed R Us storefronts.

Here's a pricey but tasty looking option that might sizzle your bacon.

You know what? No one has said a 1936 Gibson Charlie Christian pickup into a 1937 Epiphone Electar amp is a bad sound.
I'm going o try to chase that one down. Maybe put the pickup in a tele.
Probably go broke.

Cheers, I probably should have added "in NZ" to my sentence

Two of my Three Strats are Lace equipped and all of my guitars and basses have flatwound strings. I live on my neck pickups and I know its weird, but I have never been happy playing anything using the bridge pup. I guess I don't fit with trebly tones. Gimme the smooth. Caveat - I don't use effects, just straight into the amp.

This is why I HSS'd my strat, now the bridge is super usable!

Been thinking about this thread lately. Thinking ahead, but I still want to try some gold foil pickups.

From YouTube clips they seem to have a revealing piezo-blend like sound. I'm not sure if that's my thing or not.

Does anyone have any genuine / lollar soapbar goldfoils kicking around? Or perhaps some humbucker sized ones?

Search function can't find any mention in this thread so I'm going to be wildly different and say I love Danelectros and lipsticks.

The stock ones aren't great but when I got the SD ones. Geez, they have a lovely dark single coil tone, like dark chocolate. I really enjoy them. Danos themselves the proper masonite ones also have an interesting semi-acoustic quality to them too.

Not sure about Filtertrons. They sound a bit too mellow, Or should I just change my strings?

I haven't explored those properly. A friend of mine had a Danelectro at school, but back then I didn't like anything that wasn't ready for liquid gain.

I tried some goldfoil pickups today - yay! Here are my thoughts.

It was a pretty brief 20 minute play. I would describe it like playing a p90 guitar but with less power under the hood. I think have played certain strats that have a similar quality of sound. I could see it being quite good for rhythm in a band with more than one guitarist, because it's characteristics were less pronounced than a strat/tele. I think if I was recording a lot of classic rock / punk rock etc, I'd love a guitar with these for layering. Apparently they are amazing with fuzz - which I don't use all that often and didn't get to try this time. I also think I'd have a lot of fun with some warbly effects added.

For now I think I will be able to get by, but if a set of lollar soapbar gold foils shows up, I'd consider exploring them further.
