NO, i've played the guitars, think of that one?
played the Fender standard tele. feels awesome and as stated before, the tone is completely unique from any other guitar, no matter what effects you put on it.
As for the Loomis signature, Played it too. Big fan of 7-strings, and this one has a floyd rose, and active EMG pickups to start. not to mention little other modifications that make this guitar sweet.
one thing i forgot to mention. my dream guitar WILL have a scalloped fretboard.
and if a talented guitarist plays a guitar, why wouldn't i take it as a suggestion. A PROFESSIONAL USES IT. WHY SHOULDNT I.
dumbass.
EDIT: if i'm wrong, tell me why XD
The only thing you said is that Jaari plays one, nothing else. Good thing you played them and actually liked it.
Also don't come and flame on me because I assumed something, because it turns out you're the dumbass.

Fun fact: Fender almost discontinued the stratocaster until Jimi Hendrix's endorsement boosted its sales.
He didn't say he worshipped any guitar anyway. He didn't even necessarily say "Jaari is good at guitar. Jaari plays a Telecaster. Therefore, Telecasters are good guitars."
I figure if a musician I like plays a certain guitar, I can assume two things: The guitar is at least somewhat quality-made, and the guitar also aided in producing the sounds that I like.
Worshiped was really too strong, that's not what I exactly meant. And also, you're right, the guitar is more than decent quality, but that doesn't mean it necessarily produces the exact sound that you want. You have to take in consideration the amplifier also and the settings the musician uses.
Also, it's not because a musician I like plays a certain guitar that I will absolutely want that guitar. Personally, I've never been influenced by any other guitarist in choosing the guitar that I wanted, I only went with that I loved playing and how I felt with it.
