I guess you could take to the ad absurdium point and ask if it would have sounded the same way if he'd played a banjo? Clearly the gear makes a difference, else he woudln't have ever probably bothered to use more than one of each thing ever, right? He even says he uses a Strat in one example above for a specific sound. Clearly someone like him has a vibe of his own that is recognizeable, but it's going to sound different if he uses extremely different tools to play/record through, I'd think.
