Hey, I don't know wether this has been done before, but I was
interested in hearing from you which guitarists have the best
sound from their setup.

I'd say Uffe and Alex from Entombed really push it all the way!
 
I know there has been better production, but At the Gates' Slaughter of the Soul has one of the best guitar tones I've ever heard. It has this sharp, rusty, raw sound and it's damn cool! I have to second Nevermore's tone, it's heavy as hell. The first two riffs of This Sacrament blow me away every time!


(Wow... this is my first post in ages...)
 
I enjoy the variety of guitar sounds out there but the one that I really dislike nowadays is the Sunlight studios guitarsound. It sounded really cool when I first heard but got boring rather quickly.
 
Opeth definately has an amazingly clear sound, mostly evident on Still Life, which I think has some of hte best production on any album I have ever heard. Even with the high amounts of multi-tracking you can still hear every guitar and clearly what it is playing.
John Petrucci I think has the best setup overall, but he has spent millions of dollars on it probably! :D
 
If we're talking about ALL-TIME here, then:
Best lead tone:Dave Gilmour
Best rhythm tone:Edge of Sanity
Best DM tone-Blakkheim inBloodbath...hs guitar just seethes with anger
Best BM tone-Emperor
Best Acoustic sound-Mikael/Peter
Best clean leads-Mikael/Peter
 
I'd say Uffe and Alex from Entombed really push it all the way!

I would agree, the early 90's Gothenburg sound is the shit...

old Entombed
Dismember
old Grave
also i like At the Gates - Slaughter the Soul (as mentioned earlier)
In Flames had a great sound when i saw them live
Katatonia's sound is unique and great
i love the guitars in a band called HUM
EYEHATEGOD was the heaviest live
i could go on and on, i should stop.....
 
Wish I'd thought of this thread!:D

Here are my picks:

Overall tone - Jeff Beck (runner-up - Alex Lifeson since he switched to PRS guitars and Marshalls)

Pure fuckin' Metal rhythm tone - tie: Pete Tagtgren and Abbath

Metal lead tone - Bruce Bouillet,(back when he was with Racer X. Check out his solo on Extreme Volume Live.)

Most Unique tone - Reeves Gabrels

Acoustic tone - Michael Hedges
 
I think Children of Bodom have awesome Guitar sound's there Lead and Rhythem are great. But If I could have any kind of sound to my guitar it would be Opeth's I love the sound of the Palm Picking and there clean guitars on Still Life and Blackwater Park. Porcupine Tree also has great sounds on their Lead and Rhythem guitars. I love the sound of the Solo in Pure Narcotic and the Rhythem guitars on Even Less. Stupid Dream and Lightbulb Sun have some of the coolest guitar riffs and sounds I have ever heard.
 
James Hetfeild - ...And justice for all. I love that marshall tone.

Jeff Loomis, Politics of Ecstasy. Absolutely awesome sound, awesome guitaring too. Fuck yeaj/.
