Ummm..... Fender makes the Stratocaster, Kate. Gibson makes the Les
Paul which is my choice of electrics from that firm. The old Gibson
Hummingbird was a decent guitar but in 50 years of playing I have yet to
find a Gibson acoustic which I think is the equal of a Martin. The Strat is
okay but I prefer the old Telecaster from Fender and my favorite acoustic is
my 1956 Martin D-28 Herringbone. I do have a favorite Gibson but it is a
Mastertone Banjo, not a guitar. The Gibson Loyd Loar F-5 Mandolin is also a
treasure if you can find/afford one!
Cheers!!
