This is why I actually enjoyed elbuzzard's Gibsons since all but one were old enough to even consider the price tag.
Indeed I agree with your first sentence but the thing is, Gibson SG SPECIAL is not at the top at all. It's the low end of Gibson, where you're basically just paying for the name based on my experience. Again, the newer Gibsons are all rubbish compared to the older ones. And your second sentence? No. A SPECIAL does not hold its value better compared to a cheap China guitar.

Yep, that is true, it is the lower level Gibson but I love it and love the sound =). I tried several guitars in the shop and I liked this one the best in my price range.
I don't see why a starter can not start with a Gibson Faded. After all, it is my money that I am using and I am not buying this as an investment but as an instrument for
my personal enjoyment.
For me there is no need to maximize my investment in guitars as to have the best quality per dollar.
This is
my journey of enjoying playing a guitar. I fail to see why people have to bash once choices if it makes that person
happy?
In addition, I don't think it is a bad thing even if I grow out of this guitar and buy another guitar as I buy something that
pleases me and something I find
worth my money.
Sure, you maybe think another guitar is of better value, or another guitar is a better starter guitar. That is fair enough, but why the need to bash someone's journey that they personally find enjoyable and suitable for themselves?
I know that if I would buy a very cheap guitar that I would find myself buying a new guitar much quicker than if I bought this Gibsdon Faded guitar.
