I have a vintage 1970's era Yamaha G-60A, and it might be one of the best classicals I've ever played. It feels great and resonates beautifully.

My main amp a the current moment. Of course, it's not a '59 Bandmaster or AC30, but I believe it's a great amp for most guitarists' needs. It's a workhouse, is far more portable than your standard half-stack, and can be modified in a way most other amps simply can't. You can change the valve settings depending on desired characteristics, the power level of a desired "sim pedal", and even the oscillation levels on certain effects. It has a very reliable and hum-free line out, making live performing and studio work incredibly easy, and free from the hassle of mic'ing the main cone. Now, in terms of tone, you can get anything from a gritty, boxy small-amp tone you'd find on a Link Wray single, to a punchy high-gain tone you'd find on a Clash record. Honestly, if you're a tone purist, an external pedalboard is highly compatible with the amp, and the amp can be adjusted to accommodate the external settings and not sacrifice base tone. This amp, in my opinion, is highly underrated, and I don't anticipate forgoing it anytime soon.
