yes, a lot. but the most famous one you could get is a Gibson Sg faded for 699.
The Gibson SG Special is a brand of electric guitar produced by Gibson, a guitar company. The Gibson SG Special was first manufactured in 1961. Gibson SG Specials are manufactured to be less expensive than some other Gibson instruments.
For a used Gibson sg its about 1.500.00$ some abit less but for a Gibson sg that has not been used it can go over 2.000.00$ or maybe you can by it for less. but i don't know the total exacte.
Epiphone is the brand/manufacturer of the guitar. Chances are pretty good it looks a lot like a guitar with 'Gibson' on it, but it cost a lot less.
No. You should not spend that kind of money on a guitar until you have at least mastered the basics and proven to yourself that you are serious about playing this instrument. For less than half the cost of a Gibson SG you can get the budget equivalent model - Epiphone SG.
Your guitar was almost certainly manufactured in 1982 and is more or less a copy of the Gibson ES175.
I have a 1962 Gibson ES330TD. The general consensus on the value of my guitar is somewhere in the 2000-5000 range, depending on its condition. I don't know the year on yours, but if it's around the same time, it's probably worth about the same. Of course, the newer it is, generally the less valuable, and vice versa.

Refurbished? If not original parts then the value will be reduced. Probably worth $800-1000 wholesale, $1000-1200 retail. If re-finished then would be worth less.
The Gibson Lg-O (LGO) Acoustic Guitar build between late 1950s into early 1960s is approximately valued between $550 to $600. Or whatever the buyer is willing to pay.
Any 24 fret Schecter with a Floyd Rose tremelo...you'll rock it, I promise.
Orville Gibson founded the company in Michigan and stayed a family business until the early 50's. Ted Mcarty ran the company from 1951 or so, and is the "father" of most successful Gibson electric guitars, the Les Paul, the SG, Explorer, Flying V, ES-335 and so on. In the late 60's Gibson was bought by the Norlin Corp, who mainly were known for making refrigerators. Most feel Gibson adopted a quanity over quality approach to guitar making during this period and 1970's to 1980's Gibson electrics are considered less desireable by most guitar collectors, and considered outright junk by many others. Cosmetic changes to Gibson models during that period apparently reflect the poor taste of the buying public during that era... and while a 1974 Gibson SG may look ugly compared to the classic 1961 or 1968 models, please remember this was the era of ployester liesure suits and Chrysler Cordobas. In 1986 Gibson was bought by a group who understood guitar making, and is a privately held company to this day. Gibson quality has appeared to improve steadily from 1987 to present day, but it seems to be unanimous that todays models do not approach the craftsmanship of the late 1950's when Gibson apparently peaked.
It wasn't invented in any year. It has evolved for centuries. Les Paul is a pioneer in the development of the solid-body electric guitar which "made the sound of rock and roll possible." "Guitar-shaped instruments appear in stone bas-relief sculptures of the Hittites in northern Syria and Asia Minor from as far back as 1350 B.C. The word "guitar" also has origins in the Middle and Far East, deriving from "guit," the Arabic word for four and "tar," the Sanskrit word for string."
