Good guitarists don't have magic guitars, they're good guitarists.

*I'm hedging this one a bit because Satriani doesn't exactly pull off everything in that clip but he makes sure it doesn't matter by just carrying on to the next bit. Petrucci is not a name that would ever come to mind if I was thinking about lead tones (or I suppose only to consider that he aims for articulacy and the ability to hear each individual note clearly and precisely at high speeds over and above aesthetically pleasing tone).
Obviously a large % comes from the player, their touch etc, but they still require a fine instrument in order to display the finer nuances, that allows them to fully express all appropriate emotions
I spend hours to make a nice video used tube amps like Mesa Mark V, Marshall Jubilee, Fender Super-Sonic to get honest sounds... tried to use decent guitars and restring them.
If you’ll be happy I’m not going to be famous and I don’t have such a time...
Also there is no way to earn back Even the costs of the new strings used in the videos:) So be sure that If I wanna promote my videos I won’t hesitate to spend lots of money on that. But I’m doing that because I love that. I wish you understand that feeling too.

We have a "Plug my Stuff" section for this sort of thing - you should perhaps move your videos in there.

I came to this conclusion following historical gear updates from guys like Luke, Petrucci and JoBo.
Whatever they use, they dial it in a way that gives them sounds and textures that they like to hear that suits their style and the core tone doesn't change as much.
With Luke there is this grainy, fat and searing i think its around 1.5kHz tone. Whether it's 2C+, 3+SE or Bogner.
WIth Petrucci it's thick boogie
With JoBo it's a lot or EJ-like violin creaminess but different enough to get away with it..
I'm not any famous or good by comparison but I do the same thing regardless of what amp or modeler I am using.
Every tone is a slight variation of how I want to hear things.
Then there's style and influences and unique sensibilities which I think we mean by "fingers" but imho these too are more about ears.
With good players (technique, taste etc) the whole package (tone and licks) stands out more than a bad player with a well-dialed amp.
On the more technical side, I have noticed that stiff high gain with some amps affects how I actually play. I don't sound different, just need to put some effort and attention on my technique to sound like myself if for some reason the amp is not working with me.
Great guitarists have sheep dog hands, most of us have to make do with cats.
For or the last six years I've been wedded to the same Distortion pedal. I really saw it as "my sound". But at the moment I'm using a TC Nova System & I can make the drive on that work for me fine.
