I think comments about sticking a 57 in front of an amp can be kind of deceptive. Firstly, if you are working with a great player playing a great part that really helps. Secondly, if the guitar and amp being recorded aren't a Chinese Squire and a Line 6, but rather the well honed rig of a pro (vintage/boutique guitars and amps etc.) then I daresay even a 57 into an Mbox would produce some quite tasty results.
I'm not sure which album it is, but if I remember correctly the liner notes to one of Radiohead's albums credits their guitar tech Plank as having rebuilt their instruments, so it is safe to assume that a large portion of their gear is not "off the shelf" as such, nor is it just randomly chosen as the first thing that came to hand.
