No offense, Mike, but it's a free country, right? We are allowed to disagree with each other. And celebrities are not always right just because they are celebrities. I'm not going to become a Christian Scientist just because I like to watch the occasional Tom Cruise movie. I'm also not gonna buy me a Mercury and cruise it up and down the road with a crap guitar in the passenger seat.

I've been playing guitar for 45 years. And Fenders epitomize the tone and timbre of what electric guitars should sound like.

I've been playing guitar for fifty years, and I'm happy that you're happy, but opinions vary on what is the epitomy of tone. Glad for you that you've found yours.

Why Fender?

I'd also relate them to my bass choice... they're simple, yet they sound great..

.... I feel like my Gibson might break if I play it too hard.


I don't know about breaking from playing too hard but I did learn a lesson when I was a young man. At that time some older and more experienced players were teasing me because I installed a set of them there fancy newfangled strap locks on a Tele I was using at the time. The three of us went to this club one night to hear a guy play. The guy was playing a Les Paul. He let go of the neck to adjust his mic stand and the strap came off the button and when the neck hit the floor the headstock came clean off the neck. Nobody said anything out loud right at the moment, our mouths were on the floor in shock but after the show one of the old guys I was with asked me where I bought my strap locks and how much they cost.

That is awesome and tragic at the same time. To me strap locks are a "must."

I didnt like straplocks either until the holes in my favorite strap started getting wider over the years. I was way too nervous and gave in to straplocks, better safe than sorry.

And what Fenders do this for you? HSS, SSS, what pickups installed and which body wood. What pots and caps installed? There's has been alot of fenders over the years that are different. There's been three Fender companies. There have been many outsourced built by other companies.

I guess it's the word Fender that does it no matter where or who made it and out of what it's made. And of course no other named guitar company could make one as good.
