Yep Fender make some incredible amps, loved the old twin I had (the neighbours didn't).
There's a lot of Gibson based hate out there, mainly the US. From what I can see they're complaining about the new features (which to be fair aren't for everyone) and the price 'hike'. Not sure about that in the UK though really, as I still haven't seen an earlier sg special for less than I got mine for (and they have gig bags, not hardcases like the 2015s).There seems to be more vitriol for the tuners, hologram and signature than anything else. All things which are easily changed or don't really matter.
If you like the wide neck and are aware of the zero nut issues then there will be even more bargains to be had come winter. You can pick up LPJs for sub £500 now…

I've got a Vox AD120VT, so I can pretend to have a Marshall JCM800 or an AC30 or a Fender Twin.
I think Gibsons sound great through Fender Twins.
(and handily it also has a knob on the back that reduces the 60 watts down to 1 so you can overdrive at neighbour-friendly levels)
What's to hate about the hologram? Who's going to see that besides the owner?
