Well, if he’s the son of god and all that, he knows all the styles there are. He could play anybody’s style you ever heard, and then play his own style and leave you to lament how much every other guitarist sucks in comparison. He could jam with Jimi and say, “no, it’s like _this_.” And he’d never go out of tune. His strings would always sound newer than new, and his sustain could last eternities.

A recent Worth1000 contest concurs with this hypothesis:

[Solo on the mount](http://www.worth1000.com/emailthis.asp?entry=217161).

[He Himself made the neck out of acacia, and the body of Lebanese white cedar.](http://www.worth1000.com/emailthis.asp?entry=216954)

[New axe & ink.](http://www.worth1000.com/emailthis.asp?entry=217052)

Rock of ages!
