There are two kinds of guitar players, Fender guys and Gibson guys. Now you can like both Fender and Gibson, but nobody likes them both the same.

Personlly I’m very fond of my Squier ‘51, arguably the best cheap guitar ever made. Strat body, tele neck and a split coil humbucker in the bridge. Best of all worlds. If only Fender would make a top quality version.

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.

Tell that to the PRS players.

I make my own guitars. Which is nice because you can do whatever the **** you want. Quality is up to you and your skills.

And no I am not talking about partscasters—rough sawn wood to finished body and neck, hand fretted, hand soldered, etc. I don’t make my own pups...yet.

Hmmm....gals must go for Martins. That’s all I need, my Martin D-1. You can see it on my profile page. I have a cute blue Danelectro, but rarely play it. Just love that Martin.

I agree. For me, I like Fender plugged into a Fender. Nothing wrong with a Gibson into a Marshall, or whatever. But you're right. Most people end up preferring one or the other.

I think you’re right. I love Strats, hate Gibsons.
