Sorry Blue Haze, I think you're wrong. Even non-players know that their favouite players love their old, priceless guitars. Any fans of SRV, Rory Gallagher, Andy Summers, John Frusciante, John Mayer (need I go on?) will have noticed that well worn guitars are the choice of their idol. They won't assume that they're playing cheap old rubbish, they will assume that there must be something special about these old workhorses if such a famous (and rich!) star plays them by choice.
If mere mortals like you or me play a relic guitar at our local bar, there will be a few people in the audience who will notice our guitar and wonder if it's old and valuable, assuming that it's a decent and convincing relic (I don't mean some of the awful Squier relics you see on eBay).
However, if you like your guitars to be clean and shiny, that's fine too.
