I have owned both. It depends on what kind of music you are playing, what you are playing it through and what you are trying to accomplish.

I play rock, southern blues, 1970's ZZ Top stuff......etc. I can't get what I need out of any Fender / amp combination that I have tried. I wish I could because I love those guitars.

Put a Gibson Les Paul Standard or even a Deluxe on a Marshall Valve-state stereo amp; run that though a good sound board and I can gut you 75 yards. Add a BK Butler Tube Driver pedal (hard to get anymore) and some other nice accouterments and all is perfect in my world.

A good example of this would be Billy Gibbon's solo on La Grange, especially the riffs he does at the end of the song. Or the one he does My Head's in Mississippi.

Long live the Reverend!

By the way, I have seen Gibbons utilize a Fender or Gretsch on occasion, but not for long.








I hate that African hat.
