i have to respectfully disagree, between the type of strings, pick,
fingers, where the player plucks the strings, tone controls, dynamics,
attack, etc, etc, there is more than enough room to create one's own
sound. and they are for the most part free or relatively inexpensive.

i recently paid particular attention to a jazz recording i happened to
hear on the radio. the artist rarely played a straight note. the vast
majority had some type of inflection, that had much more to do the the
quality of sound than anything else. there were slides from above,
slides from below, bent notes, some were plenty bent and others, less
so, there were notes that were only slightly implied by judicious use
of dynamics and soft attack, notes were played all around and
sometimes on the beat, vibrato or lack of it was apparent in infinite
variety, quickly repeated notes were played but each was subtly or in
some cases not so sublty different, each had a different sound. if one
finds a artist that is unlistenable my guess would be that their is a
mismatch between taste and execution, not gear.

my only conclusion has to be that given the same equipment, any artist
that one finds pleasing would still be found pleasing and any artist
that one finds lacking in some way would still be found lacking. it is
unreasonable to think that one could buy ones way to a successful
sound. or more compellingly that one would be so destitute that their
taste and talent would not prevail.

now that i think about it.. if this is not the case, i'm not sure it
is a goal worthy of pursuit.
