ego. it's like people who buy huge ass 4x4 trucks to drive them around their suburbs and freak out when they go through a little bit of mud.
at the same time not all custom finishes are insanely priced either. my cousin has a joe strummer tele that only cost maybe $200 more than a regular model. he's got nicer guitars (like a custom PRS) but the tele sounded better in his band and he liked the pre-worn look, so why not?
