My favorite "old school" sounds:
1. Gibson semi-hollowbody w/P-90s with Fender tube amp(pre-silver face). No reverb.
2. Fender Tele with old Champ or Princeton amp....No reverb.
Hell, yeah!

I
LOVE the tone and feel of a cranked NON-reverb Fender blond/brownface/blackface type amp. A Les Paul or 335 with
either P-90s or humbuckers, going into a "brownface" Fender Deluxe Amp NON-reverb can also be very sweet!

I haven't had much time with many Gibson amps, but that sounds like a recipe for great tone!
