gibson vs.fender..the great debate..

I prefer Gretsch guitars, I don't dislike Fender or Gibson I'm a player & love them all. But Gretsch have this big fat warm tone that I just can't get from another guitar. Although you may not know that Gretsch guitars are now built & distributed by Fender. They teamed up in 2004 & the quality of the guitars is now so much better, I thank Fender for getting involved :)

I have actually used both, Fender & Gibson guitars. It is very difficult to describe, but both brands are great guitars. However, it is usually easier to replace a broken string on a Gibson Les Paul or a Gibson Flying Vee than a Fender Stratocaster. It actually depends on the type of sound you want, especially if you're one of those who can hear what type of guitar is being used in various parts of a song. The only difference I have run into between a Gibson & a Fender, particularly with electric guitars, is that Gibson guitars are more expensive.

I've used a Fender just once and was impressed - as you can guess. Never used a gibson. I always assumed that a Fender was better, but my lack of actually using both makes me a poor judge!

I asked my partner on this one hun, he's the guitarist here. He has a Gibson Les Paul, a Fender Telecaster and a Fender Stratocaster but he lusts after a Gretsch White Falcon. I pushed him to give me one choice and he eventually chose the Gibson.

i really like Gibson and Epiphone. i have an Epiphone SG 310 in black. It is a beautiful guitar. i need to get back to playing. i didn't play the whole time i was in the hospital and have not plyed since...so i haven't played since some time before December 9, 2003. Wow, that is a long time. i wonder if i even remember anything...

I've played the guitar since I was 12. I own a celebrity ovation, beautiful guitar with a deep smooth sound...It wouldnt matter to me if it was a beef bucket with strings stretched across the top, if the sound is there, its there..lol..

I like Gibson better. I have both a Fender Strat and a Les Paul, and the Les Paul just has a nice warm tone. Of course, Fender is great too, just depends on what song you are playing. Overall though, I notice myself picking up my Gibson more often.

it really depends on what type of music your into or what sound you want to create. i have played a fender lite ash telecaster and a gibson les paul studio, i equally liked them both but i perfer to use the gibson because i tend to play heavier stuff. The Les Paul's humbuckers respond well to distortion.
