Morning guys! I was thinking, since there's like a million ways that electric guitars can be compared with cars, would Fender be the Ford, or Chevy of electric guitars? What would that make Gibson then? I just thought it would be interesting to run a survey to see what y'all think.
:wink:

Lol, I like your enthusiasm, (and taste :wink: ) but I wanted to stick to these companies because they're both classic AMERICAN companies. Narrows the list way down, so pick one.

I have owned both and like both for different reasons. Same as I have both Fender and Gibson guitars and like both for different reasons.


BTW: I own a Chrysler now.

Since I'm a Ford man I've gotta say Ford.

The better question is: Which is Fender like, Lincoln or Cadillac???

I think this poll is just going to end up showing who likes Ford more then Chevy or vice versa.

I'm not really sure, but Fords first car, the Model T....
Fenders first guitar, the Telecaster....

Ford didn't invent the car nor did they make the first ever car, but they did however make the first mass produced car. Much in the same way fender did not invent the electric guitar but were the first to build them in such a way to make them easily mass produced (as is my understanding).

So it's kind of a neat comparison I guess.
