Gibson's guitars are either classy sounding, or..overdriven and heavy.

Fender's are either country twang...or funky. You can get a cool fuzz tone with a Fender, too.

The tonal spectrum of our universe needs both.

^^ You may want to check then edit that categorization....
Both have been used across the musical spectrum....
pigeonholing is just not what music and the instruments are about....

It does. However, what those guitars are depends on what you like. If he doesn't like Gibson. There's probably a reason. Whether it be people he has heard that other's may think of as "great" and not liking them. Or personal experience.


Thing is, he didn't say that he didn't like Gibsons because of personal experience.
He said that All Gibsons suck, which is putting every Gibson owner and player down.
At best, it's childish and immature. So forgive us for treating him as a child.

No, I'm judging it by the first chapter, which quite frankly has such a bad vibe to it that I want to toss the book.
If Gibsons suck for you, it's because you're not good enough to handle the Gibsons you've tried. There are obviously quite a few Gibson players who manage to get great tones out of their instruments. You're not one of them. That is not because of an inadequacy in the instrument.
That's no position from where to posture and make categorical statements.

I wish you could come back in a few years and see what you wrote.

Oh boy here we go. Yeah I probably should have just kept my opinions to myslef

Indeed. It's a blanket statement not based in any facts. There isn't any reason for the statement other than to piss people off who like the brand. If they were so horrible, they wouldn't have survived 120 years and many professional and famous musicians of all genres wouldn't play them. There is a reason for this. Imagine if I turned it around and said "Fenders suck!" Believe me, I currently have valid reasons to think this, but it's not a fact because of the same reasons about Gibson. There is no all.

Oddly enough, this whole thread came about right after we were discussing the SG bass you decided to get on the Pawnshop Mustang bass thread. Perhaps that touched a nerve? :P There was a similar interjection there.

Doughnuts.


Precisely So! This is a legitimate poll. I myself never said what I thought of Gibsons one way or the other, and I shan't. Here, have a doughnut and calm down.

I think any viable discussion petered out somewhere in the 3rd page of this thread ...

I'm patiently waiting on the follow up poll where we debate the merits of the different classes of doughnuts, and other "fancy pastries". You know how elitist the Fritter crowd is.
