It depends what kind of blues you want to play. Acoustic blues should use an acoustic guitar, I also like to use a slide (when you stick a glass or metal tube over one over your fingers and slide it up and down the guitar neck. ex. "Mean Old World" by Eric Clapton and Duane Allman.) Harder electric blues should just electric Guitars or semi-hollow body guitars, as they give a lighter sound so you can play acoustic sounding pieces as well as hard-hitting electric songs.
AnswerThere is no "Best" or "Perfect" amplifier for playing electric Blues Guitar. Size, weight, power, punch, ruggedness, volume, & looks are just a few of the factors that determine the popularity of Blues Amps with the Best Blues Guitar Players.
One that delivers a very high quality TONE with just enough power to fill a medium sized Nightclub full of people and not get drowned out by the drummer is very desirable.
Such an amp is widely recognized to be the 1965 FENDER DELUXE REVERB AMP.
The original amplifier was an all tube driven class A push/pull amp with 22 watts RMS and one 12 inch Oxford 12K5-6 speaker. Running on Leo Fender's Iconic AB763 circuit and driven by two 6V6 power tubes the Fender Deluxe Reverb Amp has long been considered by many Blues Guitarists to be the "HOLY GRAIL" of Blues Guitar Amps. The early model "Blackface"(1963 to 1967) Fender Deluxe Reverb Amp has about as much Pure Blues TUBE TONE as you can get from any small combo amp.
Twice as powerfull, equally as cool and BAD TO THE BONE for Blues Guitar TUBE TONE would be the coveted Fender "59 Bassman amp". With 50 watts, 4 ten inch Jensen speakers and Volume controls that go up to Twelve!, this is the Grandaddy Tone King of larger sized Blues tube amps. This is the amp that Jim Marshall disassembled, copied circut for circut and made the first Marshall JMP-45 amp from. An early Marshall JMP-45 was the amp that Eric Clapton used to record the "Beano" album with....his seminal Bluesbreakers record with John Mayall in April of 1966. The amp has been reissued by Marshall and is now known as the "Bluesbreaker" amp because of the popularity of Clapton's Guitar work on the "Beano" album.

∙ 16y agoThere is no such thing as a blues guitar, just as there is no rythm guitar or lead guitar. "Blues guitar" simply refers to blues music played on a guitar.
