I guess were all snobs and i'm glad you said it. And again i think if you love the guitar that's the most important thing. But what i would like to stress is that YOUR tone comes from YOUR fingers not the guitar itself no matter who made it. Proof in point, Stevie Ray Vaughn had a distinctive tone in his guitar playing and that's the one most people hear when he was playing his Strat but he also had that tone when he played a Les Paul with Humbuckers. Same goes for Lindsey Buckingham, he started with a Les Paul and went to a Rick Turner. Same tone. Eddie Van Halen Etc. So a Guitar has it's sound but the player makes it's tone.
