Gibson Les Paul. They even give you a lifetime warranty
if taken good care, the instrument will outlive you
the best old ones you can find still look like brandnew
edit: if you consider buying, i'd definitely recommend getting a used one

I do tend to agree with that, because over time the tension from the strings will pull up on a neck and make the guitar sound and play poorly. To fix that you have to take the neck off and adjust the angle of it back to the optimal position, which is a big task if the neck is glued on. With a bolt-on unscrewing a few bolts and adding a shim is trivial, using a capo you don't even need to take of the strings.
It's a main reason why I like Taylor acoustic guitars too. The bolt-on shimmed neck makes neck resets a breeze and will keep the guitar playing well for a very long time.
i have mine insured on lemonade.com
design-wise there's also PRS, which gives you a little of both
(The only issue was the stock nut they give you, it tends to have poor tuning stability... it would grip the wound strings while tuning in a way that makes it hard to arrive at the right pitch. But replacing it with a graphtech tusq synthetic bone nut fixed that issue completely.)
mine rarely sees the sunlight because i get tired quickly
but i won't be selling it, the value has skyrocketed ~10-20% since the pandemic
