Do you enjoy playing the guitars that you have? Do you enjoy playing music? What ever way you look at it, a guitar is really just a tool for making music.

If you can play it well then it will sound good. End of.
That said, a decent amp is more important than your guitar when it comes to your sound. A super expensive guitar will always sound shit through a shit amp, but a shit guitar will sound pretty awesome through a great amp.

One of my best guitars was bought for £12. a beat up classical. I prefer it to the £300 'rodriguez' one I had previously. Sounds just as good to my ears. i bought it to sell but bonded with it and decided to keep it.

If your mates reckon they are only able to sound good through their £££s worth of gear, and not through cheaper equipment like your own, then if you ask me they are probably terrible players. A good guitarist should be able to make great music through any setup....

Look back to our man Jimi , some of his strats were actually pretty shitty. On old footage you can see him struggling to keep in tune, but don't think he had a shitty sound did he !! I might get shot for this but as a player from the 70's I would say a lot of the copies today are better than the some of the crap the big two were turning out. Back in 1975 I played an Antoria LP , and I wish now I had kept it.

Ignore your mates...

Never tell this to the significant other in your life that might veto future GAS purchases but a good player can get a great sound out of crap gear. I have the equation round the wrong way and can manage to get a crap sound out of great gear
