fender stratocaster gibson

Fender American Stratocaster or Gibson Les Paul Studio?
which is better overall?
These are staple guitars that every player would want one of each. They are quite different in their style and sound capabilities. The Gibson will tend to give you a warmer heavier sound. The Fender will give a clean single coil sound. And look out if you play live a lot … That Gibson is f’ing heavy. That’s when you might want to look at an SG from Gibson.
