Is there a website that can clue me in on different bands and guitarists, what gear they used on a certain song or what tunings they used on certain songs? Some of the ZZ Top tunes are in special tunings I'm sure, and some Greg Allman stuff too.

Here's a site masterhacker, don't know if it has exactly what your looking for but worth a look, one of miami mike's posts a while back

Well the two bands you mentioned I would believe you are referring to the slide playing which would be in open E or A mainly for those bands.

If you're into David Gilmour, the Gilmourish site has some recommendations for approximating his tone palette.

Gleam on, you mentally ill cubic zirconium.

I really like all them "Aster" guitars. You know, like the Stratoc, Telec and Jazzm.

Some of the band's websites list their gear with some articles about them as well as their bios, tour dates and discography.
