While I have not seen much discussion on this particular subject, one significant difference between Gibson and Fender instruments is the design of the headstock/neck. Neither can really do what the other does sound wise.ĭisclosure: I own a Gibson SG bass (Miz Gibson) and an Epiphone Viola bass (Viola). Where as he just picked up a brand new 2011 american standard strat and it feels just as solid, if not better. My brother has an SG standard from 97 and I haven't picked up any gibson newer than it that has felt as solid. In my opinion, gibson's production quality and what not is not really on par with fender. Guitar wise, I like gibson but if I'm in a music store and want to pick up a guitar, 9 times out of 10 it'll be a strat or tele. Especially when it comes to basses, I don't like the sound or feel of a gibson bass (any of them). Personally, I prefer fender instruments to gibson. As far as designs go, fenders basses where designed and developed as basses where as gibson seems to have taken a guitar body shape and just turned it into a bass (which is perfectly ok for some). The posts above me have pretty much hit it.
