It's just reverse snobbery.
I used to use cheesy guitars--very impressive-looking and built in "cool factor".
If you can play, you show up at a jam with a vintage piece of junk, and sound great and everybody thinks you're just so heavy.
You show up at your gig with a hat and a Harmony and play the part.
In the end, I've decided that I'm too old to be playing crappy instruments. It is such a pleasure to play something that feels and sounds great--you end up concentrating on the music, not fighting the guitar, or honing your image.
Of course, do what you like--plenty of Kay, Harmony, Danelectro, etc. sound pretty good.
