who is bigger: fender or gibson?

[tom18222]

i've been meaning to post this for a while now. i think in the guitar department its close LP vs strat and tele. its close, but i think overall fender is MUCH bigger because of the basses. almost everyone has a j or p basses, it's kinda the standard.

maybe i'm wrong. what do you all think?

Fender is bigger by some margin if you look only at product range and units sold. Doesn't mean they are better by any means. Why would that matter?

 

[tom18222]

i didnt say BETTER, i mean, bigger, who sells more

I more of a gibson player but I;d have to go w/ fender. They just seem to have more products w/ their amps, guits, basses, subsidiaries, etc.

Fender has a lot of subsidiaries - Guild, Gretsch, SWR, Jackson, Tacoma, etc. Fender amps are also the most popular amps our there, Strats are the most popular guitar, and Fender has a much more comprehensive line of basses.

I would guess Fender.

...and I love my Strats!

Guy's it's definitely Fender. By a long way.

Not really both are fairly small if you compare them to other musical instrument manufacturers. They sell a brand and sell it well. They are what they are.
