Quite agree , Many players think it just a matter of fretting and picking a note and buying the same gear as Hank or any well known player
In fact its what comes from inside that counts ( emotion)the guitars amps and echo boxes just make it sound that little bit better .
I friend and I used to gig together at the weekends the following gear was used by each of us the only difference was his legend was white mine is pink
1x Burns Legend british custom shop
1x 508 GU7 Delays
1x POD PRO
All into a PA system
The sound was the same when we swapped guitars and rigs -Down to the player i think !!!
