The main problems with attempting to re-create the guitar sounds on a studio album are:

You're usually attempting to recreate the sound of multiple layers of overdubs done with different guitars and amps

Those multiple layers quite often have the the EQ manipulated during the mixing and mastering process

Can you get close? Yes.

MY advice would be to go for the sound Richie Sambora gets on his live albums.

Playing guitar and never playing for others is like studying medicine and never working in a clinic.
