That, and he really dug into the strings like a man posessed.

Very true. Had been known to replace the necks on his strats as well.

he was also known to put crazy glue on his fingertips then tear flesh out of his right forearm to fill out his callouses because he refused to play on anything but heavy gauge strings.

Yep. Stevie basically didn't give a **** for his forearm muscles, he just abused himself as much as his guitars.

But when the results sound that damn good, who can argue?

I have to wonder though, how much of his sound was the strings and action, and how much was the fact he was playing with an insane amount of high end gear.

Also I love the fact he used Marshies for cleans and Fenders for dirty sounds.
