I am wondering which brand do you like best and why.I know that each of them has hundreds of models but I mean in general which you prefer and why.I haven't tried a Gibson ever but I think I prefer Fender maybe because Stones play much more often Fender guitars.

One of the nicest sounds I've heard, was a Fender Strat played through a Bass amp. I wish I knew what Bass amp it was. I can't remember.

Gibson acoustic beats Fender acoustic.

Funny, many years ago I had a vintage Gibson bass amp which I sold to a bass player buddy, but it had a great tone when I played my strat thru it ... I've never owned a Gibson guitar though.

Easy, both!

Bingo - Would it have been a fender bassman by any chance?

Both. Depends on what kind of sound you're after...

easy:

fender, very direct clear sound, you can actually hear what someone plays, gibsons always sound like there is already an effect on it, an effect i don´t like most of the time. i also feel i can make my strat sound like a gibson with some effect boxes, it actually does the gibson thing better than gibsons.

sometime i play my gibsons and think they sound great and i should play them more often.

but then i take my strat or tele and am cured again.

That's an interesting take stoneswashed. I own a 52 Tele (reissue!) and a 58 Sunburst Les Paul (also reissue) and I love them both for different reasons. I lean towards the Gibson more but the Tele is an all around great guitar. You might as well ask me which of my kids I like better! When it comes to guitars for me at least it really is a matter of what feels and sounds best to the individual. If you haven't played a Les Paul, or any Gibson, StratoGR, try one, they're great!

Gibso for the beefyiness.

there is no 'better'!
fenders generaly sound cleaner, glassy, somehow dry.
gibsons (les paul, sg's) are fatter, thicker, warmer, more sustain.

fenders generaly dont sound that great for hardrock/ metal (unless they have humbuckers).
