Fender

Fender

both are great, i am getting a 61 reissure (gibsoon sg) real soon, my dad knows a guy at gibson and well...

Don't play myself Dave , but my father has been using Fenders for 40 years.

i thought this was gonna be a vid of mel gibson getting owned by a car oOo:

I've got a SG like that and it's pretty sweat, but I like my DC Les Paul better.

Dang, im a little too short on funds to own a Gibson SG right now...id also like to own a Les Paul, but $$$ issue again =( ...thats cool though john, i didnt know you played guitar rock: happy:


edit: i own an epiphone sg special though, it more than does the job wink:

Dave I collected guitars after my divorce. And I don't play the guitar, I play with the guitar. I also have several Epiphones, a Baby Taylor, a couple old archtops, A working Silvertone Amp in Case, and a couple nonames.

i have a fender ...its good...but ive always wanted an SG so id go for an SG calmdown: beer:

Personally, I'd take the Strat just because I find the SGs a bit too small and light for me. I find I can lean on a Strat and it just feels more solid.

Having said that, I like the SGs neck a bit better than the Strat. I find the Strat neck a bit too round and chunky. Maybe that's because I've played Ibanez guitars most of my life.

gibson, but the only down side is that they take about 8 years to break in

Gibson hands down.

I have always preferred the big fat sound of an LP over tinny sounding strats. My first gibson(owned a few epiphones, knock-offs and fenders prior to this) was a 73 SG Standard, it was a helluva a guitar. Even though the headstock had been broken off and repaired at least 3 times, it still sounded and played great. I currently own a Les Paul Classic & an Explorer. I also have a 52 RI Tele, but thats a different story... rock:

That's some sweet axes, Bleu.

Me = ed: jealous

sad thing is, I haven't had time to play in soooo long. full time job + college = no rock annoy:

I hear ya, mang.

I gotta get a 9-volt for my distortion pedal and lay down some neighbour-rattling riffs soon. Maybe today! You've inspired me. rock:

Gibson.

do it! I can't even rock the neighbors man, apt life restricts me to headphone amps (partly why I have the nice axes, no need for a marshall half when all I can do is play through a line6 pod).

Maybe I'll record a little sample mp3...muhahahahahaaa! Complete with the neighbours banging on the walls..haw!

Fender... but not Strat... Telecaster is where its at, especially vintage...

Teles = mucho money, tho.

i think you can get new, standard, teles and strats for less than $500... but the best is to check out pawn shops...

I never owned a nice electric guitar, i feel most of the feel comes from the amp. Thats why i own a Fender 212 Hot Rod Deville. I keeps the neighbors at bay hellfire: .

Cna not, I say you can not beat a Gibson!

Pre CBS fenders are nice. A Les Paul is sweet too. but I prefer a American made Jackson or Ibanez.

I went to guitar center and played a GMP once... I swear, nicest guitar I've ever played.

OK both are fabulous guitars. Both have great history.
Fender was one of the front runners in history on electric guitars. Tehn Gibson came along and sponsored the Les Paul.
I myself own neither type however I own a guitar that I upgraded with fender parts. I personally like the sounds of both and the looks of both brands. I like the classical looks of Fenders especially the Jaguar, Jazzmaster, and Mustangs.
Gibson ofers the Firebird which I think is a very good looking guitar. The les paul and the sg.
Seeing how I cannot make a good decisions on these im goign ot compromise and cheat. I choose a Mosrite. Supposedly the better models(you may have to get the older ones as in 60-80's) have better sound than a les paul and I like the looks.

fender
gibs are nice but way to costly

Fender

my dad has a 73 (i think) fender strat, its worth alot of $$$ and i get it when he passes... its a big house, accidents happen...

fender fo sure

GIBSONNNN!!!!!!

i have a fender. its a piece of crap

I prefer a turntable. biggrin:

whats a fender? some guys last name, i know what a gibson is though. yea i prefer a turntable also.

Fender, I don't like humbuckers. I like the twangyish strat sound. And think about it, if you asked 50 people (that don't play guitar) to draw an electric, it probably will look like a strat. But looks don't mean that much to me, I just like the strat design and pickups. The Price is another BIG factor.

STRATS ROCK!! rock:

TurnTables make good beats.

They are wasted for making trance/techno.
