Both Rory Gallagher and Brian May used VOX amps with single coils

Both Rory Gallagher and Brian May used VOX amps with single coils I think you'll find that the Shadows did rather well with that combination too!

I think the point is that the biggest influence on how a guitar sounds is your ears then the speaker then the cab then the amp then the pickups then the tone wood and finally the name on the headstock which means nothing at all.

Nicely put! I will just add one thing; When I first time played an electric via an amp it sounded great! Then after 6 month of playing it sounded terrible. Then I've got a better amp and it sounded great. After 6 months of playing it it sonded less great So I started fiddling with pedals to shape "my sound" further. Newbie ears don't hear all the tonal details and with time the ear gets sharper noticing imperfections which sure still are on a personal level.

Very true Che. I forgot to mention the strings which I would rate between the amp and pickup. So basically go from the audience to the head stock and thats the order of importance id rate all the components in the signal chain.

It's so much simpler with an acoustic guitar. When I got the urge to get me first electric I had no idea what I was about to enter a quest for tone shaping which seems to be never ending.

The Edge uses single coils through a vox too.
