Have you ever heard a song for the first time and said, "That's it! That's 'the sound'!" Sometimes it's a tone you've been searching for on your own rig, sometimes it's a tone or technique you didn't even know existed, but once you hear it you can't escape it. I've had half a dozen of these moments over the years that have sent me spinning off into a new kind of music, like:

The perfect shitty-amp-blowing-up-Garage-Rock tone:

The percussive acoustic:

The perfect clean Gretsch tone:

The perfect Strat tone:

Post clips of the songs, guitars, amps, YouTube vids, etc. that helped you discover "The Sound."

+1 on the Gretsch, Strat, & Travis. Classic examples.

I think I have lots of crap in my garage that sounds like the first one though! Melting down such that it only works for one riff in one frequency range!
