There is a clip on YouTube where he plays Gene Genie on a Telecaster and it sounds just like a Les Paul .. proof that the sound is all in the fingers
What pick-ups and amp was he using?
It's so easy to simulate a Les Paul sound - even more so these days with plug-ins and FX processors.
I've given a lot of thought to how to define great guitarists and concluded that it's a very individual choice (no surprise there!) and you can tell who you think is great by how often you listen to them playing.
I acknowledge that Hendrix was a trail-blazer, but I can't listen to him playing for long.
Blackmore: I can listen to in his early Purple days, but he loses his neo-classical touch for several of his Rainbow solos.
