“Now you can like both Fender and Gibson, but nobody likes them both the same.”
Not totally true.
I like both my Strat and my Les Paul just as equally.
It really all depends upon what you are playing as to which one is the most desirable for the song.
Different sounds require different instruments.
I’ve owned most of the Fenders and Gibson/Epiphones over the years (if I still had them all I would be darn near rich), and I liked one more than the others, just not always the same ones. But I didn’t say you weren’t allowed to change your mind. Still, there’s usually one that you pick up to noodle around on day in, day out.
