I like a fat, full bodied sound with crunch not induced by an effects pedal
and that spells Gibson. But I don't like muddy, which a lot of Gibsons are.
All Gibsons are not created equal. A guitar player friend told me I was the
only guy he knew that could make a Gibson sound like a Fender. That's
because I like to pick close to the bridge. Gets a bright sound.

Ive owned a fender strat and ive played gibsons...the strat I had sounded
good...a nice tinty thin sound that was great however the guitar I had kind
of rusted...the tuning keys and screws all rusted...they were gold plated
or something...I paid $1800 for it and it was a really nice guiatr however
the way it rusted really turned me off of fenders...none of my other
guitars rusted at all...i had other electric and acoustics and they never
rusted...I kept the fender clean like my other guitars however the rusting
of the metal hardware wouldnt stop...I ended up selling it because of the
rust...only got back 1/3 of my money that I paid for it.
I like the sound of fenders however for some reason my fender was junk in
regards to rusting hardware.

I think I love them both. They are both different but great.
For example:Gibsons have that great crunchy bluesy tone, and Fender has
that twangy bluesy sound.
But fender doesn't have very many popular designs, mostly strats and teles.
not many people actually us a Jaguar or Jazzmaster, or an esquire, which is
basically a tele with one one pick-up. Gibson has the Les Paul, the SG, the
Explorer or x-plorer, the firebird and all of those nice old hollow body
blues guitars.

Depends on what I'm playing.
Right now ive got a les paul standard, but I'm saving for an american
strat.
Best of both worlds

I play a fender strat, but I want a lesPaul too. Someday I will have both.
I tried an SG but did not like the sound as much, even though the SG looks
cooler.
I mean does anyone else make a guitar besides fender and gibson?
