as far as Stradivarius is concern or any top pro instruments as a matter of fact...have some amateur play the thing after a professional did and you'll understand what i'm trying to say cause i've played hundreds of talent shows backing up amateurs for over 30 years and more and i can tell who's got the hands for music and who doesn't, so in my opinion the player plays a bigger part on sound and tone than the instrument itself.![]()

I agree with you on that one! When you really get that million dollar sound is when you
marry a very good player with a very good and well built guitar! That is were the magic
comes out! One without the other wont cut it!
Just my 2 cents
