Lee Trevino can whip my ass in golf using a broomstick and a coke bottle and me a fine set of clubs, and Eric Clapton can sound better using a poorly-fretted guitar and me his strat(i don't play gtr at all).however to defend the other position i will admit that if Lee Trevino used a guitar to play golf, i could whip his ass, and if Eric Clapton played a broomstick with a coke bottle on it, I would sound better than him on a strat As Shiral correctly points out in spite of my facetiousness, there is a crossover point. However, I was just trying to put our manic searches for equipment nirvana in its proper perspective. I think we all overemphasize it. To a remarkable degree. but ain't it fun?
