Answering seriously, I would think strength conditioning would in fact improve your guitar playing; it is true of every every sport that I know of, and maybe because these are smaller muscles it is different, but I can't think of why that would be. Runners get faster when they weight train. Why wouldn't your hands and fingers get faster? Certainly endurance would improve, and I find my hands crapping out at the end of three hours of playing. I agree that repitition of the tasks at hand is much more important, but I wouldn't just write off a little more strength as being useless.
