Fenders and Gibsons are both top-notch guitars, but only you can make the distinction on sound, feel, and playability that you prefer. Go to a reputable music store and play several of both brands, playing close attention to fretboard ease and sound through the same amplifier.
Thank you for selecting my reply as best. Take your time--don't get rushed--at making your selection of either Gibson or Fender. You may not do it in just one day. Report It

    • Play them both, and get the one you fall in love with.
    It's personal prefreance...look at reviews online.

    I prefer gibson.
    Fenders are for playing, Gibsons are for show - just my opinion.
    its personal preference like i am a fender guy. to my gibsons suck there over priced and heavy an du can by a much better guitar for the price
    Go to a music store and try em both out before you decide. In my opinion a Gibson Les Paul is the way to go, but until you play them both you wont know which is best for you!
    Gibson- great acoustic and electric guitars

    I LOVE LES PAULS AND SGs
    No question. FENDER TELECASTER!
    Both brands have excellent construction. Among solid-bodies, the Gibsons tend to have necks and string spacings similar to those of acoustics; if I needed a double-humbucker for rhythm tracks using heavyish strings (e.g. stainlesswound .012's), I would get a Les Paul Studio model (e.g. P/N LPSUANCH1). The Fenders have a wider string spacing that Leo Fender borrowed from the Mariachi guitar builders; the Stratocaster design is now available with triple single-coil, dual single plus humbucker, and double-humbucker variants from both Mexico and the U.S., with some premium U.S.-built models even packing the Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo.

    If you expect to be using the Roland VG-88 or VG-99 or GR-20, Fender already supports it with one American standard model: the three-single-coil VG Stratocaster (P/NN 011 7500 700 Three-Color Sunburst and 011 7500 706 Black, MSRP $2428.56).
