Fender VS Gibson
I have many guitars and basses (including Fender, Peavy, Gibson, Samick, Ernie Ball,etc.)- they each have their own personalities that I use for particular songs/styles. I believe that any one that has to useone specificbrand is not a real musician, unless of course they are endorsed by the manufacturer..... In which case you use the endorsers instrument when they are sponsoring you and your favorite other times.
I have a '54 Telecaster and a new MIM Strat, so for now I guess it's Fender! I wouldn't mind adding a Les Paul Gold Top and moving up to an American Standard Strat once I can play better!
Just had my Tele appraised for insurance, and it's actually a '53 (neck and body both dated January 53). Almost everything is still original and in good working order. Getting it cleaned up (without messing with the patina) and a new setup and it should be good for another 63 years!
All of the above!
If you could only have one... I think an HSS Strat can cover the most ground. But really you need to own at a minimum:
- Strat style guitar (I prefer G&L)
- Gibson LP (or some form of HH single cut guitar at 24.75" scale)
- 335 style semi-hollow guitar
- Tele style guitar (G&L).
Otherwise, don't get caught up in brand loyalty stuff.. it's not like any of us are endorsed professionals, and even they have a slew of guitars from all kinds of manufacturers. We are also in the golden age for boutique builders. There are some insanely talented luthiers out there building amazing instruments.
