Hi folks,
Been a while since Ive been here,I hope your all well! Ive decided to take the plunge and buy myself a Les Paul. The only two things in the way are all the recent reports of bad build quality and also which model to get? Im a loyal Fender man but would like a genuine LP in my collection but do not want to splash out on something where the quality can be hit and miss. I want a faultless quality instrument that will hold its value and maybe finance the cost of my funeral!! (only joking)

Any opinions?

Cheers from Ireland!
