Gibson or Fender

Yep sometimes Im in a fender mood and sometimes I want to rock out my Les Paul.

My buddy lived across the street from Les Paul in Mahwah NJ. He always wanted to go over to his house to get his Les Paul signed by Les Paul. Well he procrastinated and his young son did it without him.. His son took his cheap $150 knock off and his dads real Les Paul and got them both signed. Good thing he did it when he did because ole Les kicked the bucket some months later.

I agree, I think there are some great looking Gibsons (Thunderbird!) but I could never get that fat sound. Guess I needed a wall of Marshalls(HiWatts?) like Entwistle lol

Putting a 50s pickguard on a P Bass is the best look you can hope for with them...

Gibson / Les Paul

I have a Jag and vintage Mustang bass.

The Jag sounds lovely, clean, thru my JC-120.

Gibson is overpriced for the quality you get.

Gibson and Tele are thick neck, Strat is thinner.

Gibson is heavy, a Strat isn't.

I like control knob placement on Gibson better.

Both pickup styles sound great for respective styles.

Humbucker low noise is nice.

Strat coil splitting is nice.

I'd get an ESP if I could choose one guitar for the money.
