From what I can tell, the famous guitarists are the ones using modern
solid state gear. There may still be tube amps being used by some rock
and blues players, but on jazz gigs, I see mostly small solid state
amps.

Maybe jazz players use them, but if you are going to talk about really
"famous" guitar players (most jazz guitarist being totally unknown to
the general public) the vast majority continue to use tube amps.

Yeah, that's funny. Almost everyone I know uses tube amps. Jazz
players tend to be the exception. Then you'll see Polytones and JC
120s. Both of which are too clean and dry for rock, blues, etc.
