Damn Yanks n' their Guns. :roll:
Lol, just kidding guys, I'm in Northern Ireland for gods sake so I can't say s*** plus I'm quarter American and damn proud of it!
Anyway, on to the debate........ Gibson are good for that sound that they do....the creamy sustain thing but I will always be a Fender man simply out of preference of tone and especially Teles cos of physical attack.
The other guitarist in my band plays the Leads on a Les Paul through a Marshall Vintage Modern whereas I play the rhythm on a Tele Custom through a 410 DeVille and the contrast is superb.

I don't think one is necessarily better than the other, its just different strokes for different folks and mixin them can be lovely, GN'R, Stones, Aerosmith anyone?

I didn't go looking for a Tele Deluxe Hop, she found me. I was going for a 52RI in Butterscotch blonde, the minute I set eyes on the Deluxe.... I had to have her. I'm glad you found your Tele dude, how about a pic or two? A pic of the Strat and Tele together would be uber cool 8) Enjoy her Hop, cheers.

I see others echo my opinion--it depends what you want it for.
For some things Fender is better, for some Gibson is.

Like others--I have both.

I think that guitars like music are a person's personal preference. I don't think that people that play Gibsons are any worse or the guitars are any worse, but I just prefer Fenders a lot more.

This is an argument like: Apples or Oranges? (I pick oranges) or Coke or Pepsi? (I pick coke). You can like both, but one will be your favorite. Therefore, you can't get hung up on which is better.

It doesn't matter what you play, as long as you play...
