Pay for the name so you can re-sell it for more money. But, in few cases, most folks never get thousands more, or even a few hundred. The next factor is, are ;you a composer? Will this guitar have such a unique sound that it inspires you in a way no other guitar does - or can. If so, then maybe your compositions all be hit. That is - can you make money from THIS guitar that you can't from others? For performers, the Gibson name will give you a bit of cache on-stage BUT a good guitarist can be even more impressive because Gibson fans watching may be surprised at your skills and sounds.
@RoSaWa386-33 This is very true, I do find that when writing music, often it's the quirky sounding instruments that get me to write the most inventive licks
