Yeah, but that's like saying, "Well, you're a good guitarist but you can't play like (insert Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert, Yngwie Malmsteen, etc.)." Okay, we can't all be the best guitarist. Out of the millions of people who play guitar, only a handful are virtuoso masters. But that doesn't mean that Jimmy Page, David Gilmour, or Dimebag Darrel sucked either (hint: they were great in their own ways).
Obviously, if one is dedicated and driven enough anyone here could easily match or surpass this given enough of those properties and time. And believe, the tool isn't the decider here. I've seen great guitarists pick up crap and they still make the lump of firewood sing. And I've seen young, rich snots with the most expensive guitar equipment their parents could afford play like it was firewood. Talent is in the person not in the tool!
