Fuzzy:
I completely agree with what I think is the tenor of your point that gear doesn't make the player. Still more, I find myself reeling in young players who want to buy into the "church of gear," particularly as a substitute for hard work.
As I've said in prior posts, in my opinion "the best gear is an etude book," and this sentiment is of course based on the idea that the gear being used meets some basic requirements as it regards playability.
But at the margin, I do think, all else equal, some gear is better than others, and that for truly virtuosic players, pushing the limits of what's possible, their setup can make somewhat of a difference.
