i think the guitar you play depends on the sound and style you play you no like everyone has there own feel for a guitar i personaly like the sound in fender for jazz, blues and just pure rock& roll but if i was playing like metal, grunge or something in that nature id preferr a les it all depends on what sound you want and how you feel the guitar no play anyone can play not everyone can feel it if you can agree??
The shorter scale length of a Gibson, compared to a Fender, it a bit easier to play. There are other variables, of course, such as the quality of the neck, the size and shape of the frets, the action, and the fatness and length of the player's fingers. :-)
i dont think its all gibsons are easier to play then fenders, it depends on the finger board or the strings. on my les paul i have an ebony finger board, on my sg i have maple. i think the ebony is beter. i put fender pick ups on my les paul.
interesting point of view. My main girl now in a Gibson Les Paul Studio and I have owned an Epi Goth Les Paul as well as a Hondo II about 14 years ago. I have seriously owned and sold about 10 strats in my life (all Fender except one Squier Satin Trans and only 4 Mexican) I am now finding that the Gibson has so much that its hard to keep the sound on each setting equal. Always felt Strats were easier to play so i guess I;m a good player
You got it backwards - Gibsons have always been easier to play than Fenders. Fenders just sound better in the hands of a good player. Humbuckers (the pickups in Gibsons, Ibanez etc) mask and cover up mistakes where as a single coil (Fender type pickup) let's everything through. The way he has his tone set, he wouldnt sound much different honestly.
Nice work.
