Profile packs are often created with specific amp settings tailored for a specific guitar. However, I started thinking it might be really useful for commercial vendors to offer various profile packs of the same amp with settings tailored for different guitars and/or pickups(eg. Strat, Tele, Les Paul, etc.). Maybe I'm off base here, but I think the idea has some merit. For example, I'd be more interested in buying a profile pack tailored to a Les Paul (even if it's not my Les Paul) than a Strat. It's just an idea.
Idea for Commercial Profilers

man , your wish is answered
I made a great pack for humbucker guitars (classic pickups PAF & SH5 ) , it's very specific to these guitars, and my customers love it so far.
I also made a Single coil pack as well as a hollowbody one ( fits P90 also)
check it at my store, demos rig available : https://sellfy.com/Valve.theory.profiling

Excellent! I'll check it out.

Honestly the difference is negligible and 99% gimmick .
#Update -- here is the dumble ods 50 im actively working with atm and thus did a quick comparison of the post refine process. Part 1 (profile 1) refined with the strat and Part 2 (Profile 2) is refined with my Ibanez Jem.

The difference isn't night and day. The Strat has more string definition and a bit less flub than the Ibanez. I'd be interested to hear the difference between a Strat (single coil) and Les Paul with Humbuckers.

My strat is single coil (Texas custom shop) and the Jem was a humbucker (Dimarzio Breed). Hope this helped.

I think the OP was talking about AMP SETTINGS, not the guitar used for the refining process.

For "plug and play" guitar-specific rigs, the primary difference for vintage amps would be the tone control settings. Bass and treble controls are typically set differently for Les Paul, Strat, and Tele guitars.
For more modern amps, there are more tone controls, gain staging choices, etc.
It can vary with individual guitars, pickups, etc, but for most people, the KPA tone controls (and Definition, etc in the amp controls) are enough to tweak a rig to work with any guitar.

@MentaL : it's not about refining , we all know that the guitar has no influence on the refining !
my method is about using as specific guitar while setting up the amps before profiling as I've usually done in the past with amps before the KPA.
Once sweet spots and amp settings are OK I then go into profiling

That's what I thought as well

Let's pretend I read the thread correctly.... I'll see myself out, bye.

I would do profiles with flat eq on the amp profiled/reference amp

That can't really be done. Guitar amps don't have flat EQ. Because, a guitar with flat EQ would sound like a DI track - not good.So, an amp with knobs at 5 is not flat, not all at 10, not all at 0.

Our packs are geared towards use with high output / active pickups ... If you're looking for aggressive tones

Do you have samples for all of the packs? -

Audio (Soundcloud) clips on website demo'ing 2 profiles from each pack (one panned hard left ; one hard right) to give a taster of tones (profiles) provided ... If that's what you mean ? -
