Hi, I am new to the forum
I am a Fender guy, have a few collectable types of Strats. When I first bought a STrat, I didint know much about it, joined a forum and the learning curve went up quickly.
So, this time around.........I would like to buy my first Les Paul Standard, and I figured before I buy, I will educate myself a bit by joining the forum before buying.
First, am I in the correct section of the forum?
Second, how do I get started? what are the best years? What should I look for? What should I look out for to make sure the guitar is authentic? What are common defects? I have noticed people talking about solid bodys vs hollow bodies, etc.
I will not be looking for a collectors guitar (maybe) but I feel sure I would be buying a used guitar.
