How to spot fake guitars

Amen.

I dont believe in huge rigs, coz I like (to reasonable extent) whatever tone I get.
I just said that to get a particular tone, not style, you need to have similar rig. (which might be hige or small).
To get a particular style you need to practice hard. To get EVH's style (mistakenly referred to ppl here as tone) you need to work your fingers.

The magic is all in fingers. I believe that.
