I disagree that tone is all in the fingers, or is the result of the players' ability. Let me sight as an example Kenny Vaughan, guitarist for Marty Stuarts' band. A fine player, to be sure. He plays a tele with a 3 barrel bridge, loaded with Frailin Blues Specials, into a silver faced Fender Princeton Reverb. His fundamental Carl Perkins like tone is just sweet, sweet as can be. Even if he just played one open note on the D string, the sound would be magnificent. I think his guitar tone enhances and inspires his playing, not the other way around. No amount of talent will create that sound.
