After much turmoil, I decided on the Classic Player Plus in Wine Red. I was going to go for the regular Classic in a Gold Top, but they were all out and they had a great price drop on the Player Plus. The other reason I went with this guitar was the specs said rounded neck. I was assuming it would be like my Traditional, but it is slimmer. Not as slim as a 60's slim taper, but... Anyway, after spending a few hours with it, the neck is not a big issue, I actually like it! As far as the quality, I have bought a 2015, 2016 and now a 2018 Les Paul. All of them had very minor, if any flaws at all. The only issue I had with this guitar is that the pickguard that was sent with it is for a guitar with Humbuckers, not P90's. I called zZounds and they are on it for me. Great customer service and support by zZounds as usual. Thank you zZounds and thank you Gibson!
