Gibson or Fender

Hey guys, I will pop in and out randomly now. Sorry I've been gone for so long. Can't promise that I will be a regular anymore, but I most likely will be in the future.

Anyways to the point. I favor Gibson. I like the griddy sound and the over all style of the Gibson Les Paul and SG.

I don't like the slightly wider fret board of the Fender Strat.

Hey! Gotta love that Hard Rock!

Gibson, I think they are little more well known. Plus I love the X-Plorer.

Gibson. SG has a greater range of sounds (Angus Young goes from HardRock to Blues in notime), plus Humbuckers. That's really all there is too it. Is humbuckers. All though, I gotta say the Telecaster is awesome, it's just overshadowed by the strat. I hate strats, they always sound the same, there's no variations. Not like the LP or SG.

I don't think gibson is better known. The Stratocaster is one of the defining images in rock and roll.

Gibson, Flying V FTW!
It's just... most of the Fenders look so similar, none really stand out. Plus, Gibson guitars are repeatedly emulated for controllers to our favorite game. The SG, Flying V, and Xplorer.

I go with fender because I love my stratocaster...though Gibson just released an hyper guitar with a really really nice digital pickup...developping a new system to manage the signal and all...if I had a couple of thousands bucks loose in my pocket, I'd be out to the store right now!!

Wait digital pickup, does that mean I could make my Gibson sound like a Fender, nice and clean? Honestly, as stupid as this sounds, I hate the idea, does it matter weather you geta Gibson or Fender now, soon I guess you'll just be shopping for style soon.

see the HD6X . I think the idea is really interesting...6 separate outputs, one for each string. If you like guitar you cannot hate that unless you're some kind of real "deep in the heart"-vintage-guitarist but if it were really the case, you probably would not be on a forum for a game that pretend to be simulating playing guitar by holding your keyboard upside-down!!

Different output for each string? So I could have certain strings sounding clean, and the others griddy?

In my opinion if you want a clean sound there's no point in electric, just get an acoustic/semi-acoustic, Gibson all the way.

Deans are better though :p

Gibson.... Just the looks of the strats, let alone the sound turns me off.
