Answers: Which Individual model is best in that brand as well? And Tell if u know a great guitarist that used it

Both companies make guitars that are good for rock music, but more guitarists have used Fenders, specifically the Stratocaster model than Gibson. I think it goes back to Buddy Holly playing a Strat. The whole list is too long to mention but notably Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and SRV all played Strats.
Gibson makes 2 models that have been played by a lot of ppl - the SG and the Les Paul. SG players include Pete Townsend and George Harrison. Les Pauls are more widely used, notably by Joe Perry, Jimmy Page and Dickey Betts.
But don't go by what other ppl play. Go to your nearest Guitar Center and get 1 of each and play them yourself. That is the best way to determine which is best for you. If you are looking for a particular sound, amps and pedals can modify any guitar's sound to simulate another guitar. Personally, I have a Gibson ES333 and a Behringer V-amp. The 333 is a semi-hollow body electric, but if I use 1 particular setting on the amp, it sounds a lot like the Strat ( a solid body electric ) Jimi used to play the Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock - minus the whammy bar.

Depends which you find more comfortable... they're slightly varying designs...

Personally i think gibson make the better guitars overall (a gibson acoustic is beautiful to play)

Great guitarists used both & both are great for rock.

Depends on the tone you want & comfort for *you*.

But I'd say overall, Gibsons have the edge.

Fender users:

Hendrix
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Clapton


Gibson users:

Jimmy Page
Alex Lifeson
Angus Young

Both those user lists are WAY longer, btw.

I know absolutely nothing about guitars but let me guess
eeeeeeeem. I go for the Fender maybe I don't know the name Fender sounds cool or something

Do you even know how to PLAY a guitar?

The best guitar for your needs is the one that FEELS the best in your hands and SOUNDS they best with your style of music. NEVER buy ANY guitar you haven't played first.

The two main contenders for rock music are the two biggest classics:

The Gibson Les Paul
and
The Fender Stratocaster/ Telecaster

The Strat was made famous by Jimi Hendrix, and is more versatile than the Les Paul, due to its dual cutaways (for high soloing) and its three single-coil (in standard type) pickups.
The Les Paul is a genuine classic, good looking, meaty sounding and given a powerful crunch by its dual humbuckers at the bridge. Slash from Guns'n'Roses is probably the most famous modern proponent of the Gibson camp.
Of course Gibson also produced the SG, as played by AC/DC's Angus Young, and the Explorer, as played by countless hair metal and poodle rock bands of the eighties.

The Telecaster, the forerunner to the Strat, has also had many famous players, but my favourite Tele player is probably Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine, who uses many of the unique features of the Tele to produce an equally unique sound for his music.
Whatever you choose to play, good luck and enjoy!

you cannot compare, they are just as different as they're good! :)

Well historically it's been a well-balanced battle between the Fender Stratocaster and the Gibson Les Paul. The two models have been the axes-of-choice of the finest and most influential players in the rock music genre.

well I have a squier by fender which I love but my dad has a gibson les paul and I am totally in love with it....ray toro from my chemical romance plays a gibson...if you want to see him play it during a solo look up the music video for I'm not okay

GIBSON!!!! I have an SG and it's pretty cool, I guess I just don't really like Fenders except for Joe Strummer's Telecaster.
