So Howlin' Wolf had some pretty big digits as did Albert King and they had some righteous tones.
Angus Young has little girlie hands but I likes his tones!

Ive often thought whether having skinnier fingers predisposed you to having a more 'trebley' tone - Brian May & Steve Vai being a couple of good examples. Thoughts? In that context that would imply that people with bigger/fatter fingers would have a rounder, darker tone. Thoughts?

Brian May's trebly tone came from his skinny digits, and not at all from his famously used treble booster... interesting!

No - I just thought we needed a break from this Katana hype - it was getting a bit boring.

What's the difference between a digit here or ther? Anyways, there is more tone in the 3 than in the 6!

Ozzy said that when he was auditioning before he found Randy, lots of the candidates were trying to be Iommi clones. One of them went as far as having thimble type things on two of his fingers.
