Gibson's name is worth gold on the market. You can say what you want about components and "value" - but when it comes to general market perception, holding value, resale, and collectibility - The Name wins out...
A hopped up Epiphone is worth a little less than the sum of the parts.
A hopped up parts-caster-paul is worth less than the sum of the parts.
A factory Gibson is worth more than the sum of the parts...
You be the judge...
