as a player it's taken me 50 years to find out there are better brands you've never heard of that make guitars for either 1/10th the price that are better or 100X the price that are better than gibson / fender / whatever. in fact some of the lower end mass produced makes are turning out mid price guitars at high end quality.
as an audience member, other than acoustic sets i've been to, floyd, elp, mayall, martyn, whoever i've gone to see brands have been really low on my priorities.
i play acoustics, i have 2 gibsons, i have a martin, but i also have a larrivee, a maton and i suppose framus aren't that widely known. but there are tons, and tons, of boutique guitars out there well, well worth the effort and if you have it, the money.
