It's not about the Gear...it's about the player.

Totally agree Walt!
Although getting the elusive sound you want at home and then getting that sound (or something close) at a live gig- which often involves a lot of compromises!- are two different things...!
I think that for the last 30 years or so, the availability of reasonably priced gear has enabled players to afford quite easily to get good sounds if they take some time to learn how to use what they've got- which may not be stuff like genuine USA Les Pauls, Strats etc with a vintage Fender, Vox or Marshall amp...etc
These days a good copy guitar and a modern amp with modelling and effects built in will do the job OK, and won't send you broke or to the divorce court! :) Used stuff is fine too- I have a few pawnshop purchases that are really good to play and sound great.
Whatever gear you use, if you don't do the work and learn and practice, it will make no difference anyway!

Well-stated!
Nokie has always stated that he's been told that he could get "tone out of a board."
Whatever he plays always sounds like him. ;D

Newbie here going thru the posts....
As for the gear...............I am reminded of a story of Eddie Van Halen and Sammy Hagar...in between things...a gig, or a rehearsal...anyway... Sammy says to Eddie, "Hey, let me play your rig!"...and Eddie hands him his guitar. Sammy starts wacking at it and immediately turns to Eddie and say, "No man, put the settings back the way you had it."...Eddie returns with, "Those are the settings I was playing on."
Different hands, different tone.
