While I was reading your article, this video immediately came to my mind:
This is Joe Satriani, known as one of the best guitar players in the world, playing at a fan's house using their equipment which consisted of a cheap Stratocaster copy and a mid to low tier amp. He still rocked the loving hell of it!
I'm an amateur guitar player myself and I know many guys who swear by practicing on poor equipment at first so you can really get the most of your gear when you can afford the good stuff.

Love that. Joe - great guitarist - should stay away from the mic ;D
Perhaps part of making it to the crossroads, is dealing with crappy equipment :)
