Hi guys. Just to differ.
I'd rather spend 100k for less popular brands or models of guitars and gear : the ones that are not really related, attributed or connected to a certain artist but with superior quality. I want to be different, to be distinct from the rest of guitar players who ask for a specific brand or model because their guitar-hero uses such. I'll find my own voice, my own rig that I can call "my own" and is unique. In that way, you get appreciated because of your musicality, technique and skills, and not because of your gear. You play the instrument, and not the other way around.
I would probably be asking for a custom guitar, amp and maybe effects that matches my requirements. In a way, I am already helping the custom shop from which my gear is made in terms of marketing its products.
If Fernando guitars can provide me a superior quality, custom guitar to my specs then why not?
If Sioschi (or any other local amp makers) can give me en excellent custom amp to my specs then why not?
If Neil Subzero (or any other local DIY FX) can design custom FX to my specs then why not?
..and so on, and so forth...
The 100k is all worth it.
