Gibson is a rock guitar and a good one at that. Fender is a more versitile axe and i think it looks better. I have a fender and its great...but i wish i had a les paul...but thats the way it goes...if you have one your gonna want the other! So either way your ****ed!

p.s. actually one of the best guitars i played, in terms of feel is the telecaster...but thats not everyones cup of tea.

my vote is... fender, more versitile and to even the score
