Both MG and Joe are correct. The musician makes the music. However, the instrument inspires the musician.

Totally Agree.
However, my materialistic ass really enjoys looking down seeing a nice "dream" guitar on my lap. It makes me play better.
And I will stand by this until the end. There are multiple reasons the high end stuff became and continues to be high end. The 1st time I picked up and then played an L5, I thought I died and went to heaven.
I can pretty much be smitten with any guitar if I spend enough time with it. But - Rattles, Creaky pickguards, Electrical noise and inconsistently bad intonation are the things that push me away from certain guitars, and affect the quality of music I can make with them.

I am in complete agreement with Joe, here. What I really like is consistent intonation up and down the neck and from string to string. Also, I like the dynamic response--volume and attack--to be the same from string to string and up and down the neck. Tone, too.
To me, a really good Johnny Smith is almost unbeatable in these regards. This will pull the very best playing out of you.
