  1. They are both phenomenal guitars.  Personal preference in feel and desired sound should determine which you get.  Fenders generally give a brighter, brassier sound, while Gibsons are known for giving a warm, rich tone.  If you're not an experienced guitarist, you probably won't be able to hear too much of a difference though.

    The other major difference is the neck angle.  On a Gibson, the neck is bent back towards the player slightly, which is why the bridge is raised.  Fenders, however, are totally flat in terms of neck angle.  Personally I prefer the feel of a Gibson, even though I learned electric on a stratocaster.  

    Go to guitar center and play each one for a bit.  Take the one that feels best and most natural to you.
