grampa Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I am a long time - 45 years - Gibson player. My electric of choice is of course is a Telecaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Player Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Electrics may be different.... I really don't know. I just know Gibson's "look" cooler than any Fender Electric...... The day Fender makes a better Acoustic guitar than Gibson... is the day Pig's fly, the sky falls and hell freezes over! Ain't gonna happen ever.................

SRV-Zeppelin Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 For Rock, I don't think anything can beat the raw power of a Les Paul or an SG plugged through a Marshall stack... for blues however, a 62 Strat is way better than any Gibson, ES-335s come close but it's just not the same.

I'm more partial to the blues masters who play Gibson, from the many with the surname of King, to other favorites like Little Milton. You can go with a Strat if you like, but to me there ain't no wailing, crying woman tone coming from anything other than a front position humbucker with the tone knob rolled back most of the way in an overdriven tube amp to play my blues, solid or hollow body. That's my tone and I'm stickin' to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Wilson Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Why I play a Gibson: I realized shortly after I started playing guitar that every player I really liked (acoustic or electric) plays or played a Gibson most of the time. Even Clapton's best stuff was done on a Gibson in my opinion. Jeff Beck too. They simply sounded better than other players despite differing playing styles. The only common factor? Gibson on top of the headstock. Everything else sounds so thin and tinny compared to a Gibson. Even when I listen to the Stones, I can tell when Keith is playing his ES-335.....just sounds better.

Randy1 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I consider myself blessed to own both Gibson and Fender guitars. For distortion and some clean applications my SG Standard is the only way to go. For other applications I really like my Strat or Tele. I'm not sure why, but I always feel like I should be picking one over the other. Maybe its because so many other people are able to stand up and say this is all I want to play, be it Gibson or Fender. I tend to like the feel of a Strat neck better until I plar bar-chords, and at that point I like the flat fretboard on my SG. I will say that although I don't own a Gibson accoustic, I like them better than any other accoustic. I tend to pick up a Dove or Hummingbird when I go to G.C. and there is just nothing else like it for me when it comes to tone or feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvansickle Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 My go-to guitar is always going to be a Les Paul, but I see no reason why a player shouldn't own and enjoy a diverse collection of instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 (hope this is the wining answer) Fender is better than Gibson because they make the guitar that I can have and Tim will never... (the Telecaster of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone "needs" an LP, a Strat, a Tele and a 335. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
