eod1214 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Is it possible to like fender AND Gibson equaly the same, or do you agree that your either a gibson guy or a fender guy, but you like both but one way better? i myself am a gibson guy, i never got into fender at all very much. what are you?

DonCarlos Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 condensed version: Â I guess I prefer the term when referring to me as a Strat-o-Gib guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertjohn Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Love my Gibsons and my Strat - which I'm about to customise. So the answer is a resounding YES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 They all have their place. I can't say I prefer one over the other. If Gibson tried to make something that resembled a Fender I would find it weird and vice-versa. I know they've DONE it in the past but none of them had much market success.

mannish Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I am a Strat guy - I like Gibsons, especially 175s & other hollow semi-hollows but Strats fit my style of playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Player Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Me... I am most certainly a Gibson guy... Â and a Taylor guy..... Â and a Fender guy..... Â I have had some of all those guitars, and liked each for what they can do..... Â I am a guitar whore though so I am likely to fall in lust with other brands too........

zombywoof Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 For some 45 years I lived on a steady diet of Fender electrics and Gibson acoustics. My #1 electric - a 1958 fender Tele. My #1 acoustic - '56 Gibson SJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWilson Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I don't play electric so I don't really have a dog in that fight. I did play a Fender ESV-10 Ensenada acoustic that I liked. It's a 12 fret slothead with solid spruce top and solid palo escrito (mexican rosewood) back and sides. Of course they discontinued them so now there are no Fender acoustics that I like.

TheLiveSoundGuy Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 People put too much emphasis on brand names. If it's comfortable, and it sounds great who cares what name is on it? Â Brand names often tend to be a class status thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOESTONE Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I'm a guitar guy..Gibson, Fender, Whatever. I recently discovered some vintage Harmony guitars that are cheap and awesome, particularly the Mercury H47 and Meteor H-70 like the ones the Stones and Kinks played. I put down my 335 to play my Mercury most times I perform now. It's as light as a feather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannish Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I replied in regards to electric but prior to the Collings it was total Gibson acoustics - It still is Gibson acoustics but I do love the Collings  I have owned Martins, Taylors and most other brand no acoustic works for me like a Gibson small body  I do own an NMI dread acoustic that is an awesome guitar when you want that dread sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flinx Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I never found a Fender acoustic that liked me. I used to have a Tele that I liked pretty well, but I gave it away to a friend who was really hurtin' for something decent to play when I left the Fort Benning area for higher elevations. Had a Jag, too, years ago, but that's another story. I guess that makes me an ex-Fender man. 'Course I'm also between Gibsons right now (but in the market for a good one), so I reckon that makes me divorced twice! Â Third time's the charm? Â Right now I got me a sweet Collings who thinks I'm the man. I don't argue with her. She's louder than me! :) Â Flinx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilliangirl Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Fender acoustics? Â No thanks. My thoughts exactly! Â The ex-boyfriend had a gorgeous Fender strat. I'd pick it up every now and then but I never did get used to the sound coming out of a box on the other side of the room. Electrics are just not for me. That being said, he could make that thing howl like nothing else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 The dangers of excessive pigeonholing manifest themselves in these kinds of 'either/or' discussions. Â I generally favour Gibsons in the world of acoustics, but am completely happy 'cheating' with a good guitar of <gasp!> another maker, so long as it works for me. Â Electric side, I still love the Gibsons, sure enough, but I like Rickenbackers and Fenders; they all have their place! Â Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
