Bottier Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Hello dear enthusiasts of our instrument… Gibson fits perfectly with the playing of some guitarists and Fender with others. It is good that these two major brands have two very different colors to match the various personalities. But didn’t they themselves contribute to giving birth to two generations of guitarists with opposing sensibilities?… 🤔 What do you think ? https://youtu.be/QE9NF1HIqJA?si=QYc7i5JOM6pBlVL9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Pepper Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) I think the ES-335 and others 345, 355 and BB King are the best designs and guitars Gibson ever did. SG’s are thin and light and rock machines. LP’s are what everyone wants and there is a reason. An Explorer is one of the most well balanced guitars ever. F and G changed the rock world. Those two are the most played if we are talking electric guitars. Edited April 17 by Sgt. Pepper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsongs Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Agree a 335, 345 or 355 are essential. So are LP Std’s with HB’s & LP Goldtop’s with P90’s.. And Firebird 5’s &7’s.. Add a LP Jr or LP Special with P90’s & you got some serious stuff happening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 They are made well. They play well. They sound great. In the end, that's all that counts. I own both Gibson and Fender guitars and love them all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t doubt Henry J thought about buying a hardware store, he had 18 other stupid things he tried to sell. Now it’s $700 leather duffel bags. plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose Edited April 18 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparquelito Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 A very cool video, and some really nice guitar playing. Thank you for that, Bottier. Have you made a video of how one plays a Fender? 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's certainly the most popular way to play a Fender. Though I do recall one guy famously using his teeth. (A method not recommended for kids wearing braces, by the way.) 😗 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From there it just flourished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
