If he's talking about guage, hes got a point. Thick strings are a big effect on sound versus thin strings. Stevie Ray Vaughan played on 13s but was known to use as thick as 18 in the studio for tone.

But thats as far as you can take that. Nobody but a lunatic would ever suggest that, say, d'addario strings sounded super different to ernie ball or fender strings. The differences between brands are marginal at best. The differences between guage are massive but entirely independent of brand.
