I think you can often get close with a GNX or a GT6 however the bigger difference is in the way you play.

I once read a piece by a guy who was talking about an interview he did withe Steve Vai. He brought his guitar with him. Steve played it. It sounded like Steve was playing it. He played it, it sounded like he was playing it.

I think people often confuse style with tone. Kit is just kit, the way you play is the way you play !! Sure different things sound different and we imagine that a nice rig will make us sound better. It will to a certain extent however at the end of the day you have to be able to play and that is where the magic lies !
