OK both are fabulous guitars. Both have great history.
Fender was one of the front runners in history on electric guitars. Tehn Gibson came along and sponsored the Les Paul.
I myself own neither type however I own a guitar that I upgraded with fender parts. I personally like the sounds of both and the looks of both brands. I like the classical looks of Fenders especially the Jaguar, Jazzmaster, and Mustangs.
Gibson ofers the Firebird which I think is a very good looking guitar. The les paul and the sg.
Seeing how I cannot make a good decisions on these im goign ot compromise and cheat. I choose a Mosrite. Supposedly the better models(you may have to get the older ones as in 60-80's) have better sound than a les paul and I like the looks.
