I signed up last week and should have done this then but better late than never...
Been playing Fender guitars since I got a used Stratocaster in 1966 (still have it). Since day one I pined over Gibsons. I played in bands with guys with Gibsons. Finally about 5 yeas ago I bought a used Les Paul Studio. I of course liked it a lot. Recently I bought a 2019 Les Paul Classic and I'm very happy with it. These guitars fill a void that the Fenders didn't and visa versa. I'll just add that as nice as the Classic is, the Studio with Burstbucker Pros is killer.
Thanks for having me.
