If you HAD to chose EITHER ONE OR THE OTHER;

Gibson


Fender

are you ****ing kidding me

gibson and fender are just brands that make a whole lot more guitars than those two

ah ****ing rage

I think they both look like shit, but I'd go with the Gibson.

Gibson is much better than Fender at making guitars, but Gibson is a bit pricey compared to Fender. I still choose Gibson, because it's a good investment.

Gibson is like the Mac of guitars. You can get the same quality for way cheaper. You're pretty much paying for the brand.

I would choose neither.

Not every guitar sounds the same, so you can't really say that. Also, Epiphones are of cheaper quality than Gibsons.

Regardless, I have both and love both very much.

Not if you get it for free.

Well my parents are cheap so if I'd ever get a quality guitar, it certainly wouldn't be for a gift.

My vote goes with Fender because Hendrix used a Strat.

My grandpa got it in 1949. When he died, he left it to my dad who gave it to me because I play guitar.
