Ibanez vs Fender: Two morons at war!

Re: Ibanez vs Fender: Two morons at war!

This is pretty funny considering how many ibanez and fender guitars are made in the same far east factories. Workers turn up at the Fuji-Gen or Cort factory and sometimes it's a fender making day, and other times it's an ibanez making day. Fender or ibanez or Schecter or LTD? -pick the one that best matches you trousers, I say, cause most of them are made by the same people.

Re: Ibanez vs Fender: Two morons at war!

I own several from both companies, and will only add this to such a junior high argument.

Fender no longer offers the HM Strat and Ibanez no longer offers the RT. (both were "crossover" models)

Each company excels at their core market, but I would like to see Ibanez have the same level of quality options as Fender.

Well, the results in for the night. Fender 15, Ibanez 3.. Looks like its score one for Americans... I prefer Fender over any guitar company except Martin.. Of course, i only play American Guitars... These just something about made in USA that makes me feel proud to play guitar.

Re: Ibanez vs Fender: Two morons at war!

Any guitarist who's worth half a poo could pick up pretty much anything and make it work.

Seriously.... you name-checked Avril Lavigne in your argument for Fender?

Only to show diversity in styles used. Was a little bad though wasn't it!!

Also Deryk Whibley from Sum 41 (the kick ass, son't care what anyone says).

EDIT: I didn't mention Hendrix as I was using examples of bnds still together/touring today. But yeah, Hendrix was responsible for the sales of Strats in the 60s, the marketing department did nothing in comparison!

The technology in Ibanez guitars is superior.

The thing is, there's people who prefer muscle cars to Nissan Skylines. And they've got a fair point.

No it isn't. The floyd rose wasn't invented by either of them and the electronics they use predate both companies

Re: Ibanez vs Fender: Two morons at war!

i have yet to see a fender with an acoustic pickup in the bridge so does that make ibanez the winner?

Re: Ibanez vs Fender: Two morons at war!

My friend (bass player) and I (guitar player) were arguing over our favorite guitar company. He believes that Fenders are cheap, overated guitars that have been replaced by his favorite company, Ibanez. I, of course, think differently. I know this is juvenile, but I want to know what other people think of these comments.

I've always felt this way. I feel the same about most of the classic designs. That means almost ANYTHING from Fender and Gibson. Except maybe a LP Custom but even then it's iffy.

Re: Ibanez vs Fender: Two morons at war!

Well, Strat is the most vesitile guitar in existance, been so for many years. How many great rock/metal/blues "BiBles" been recorded with it? BTW Mercifull Fate still play Strats, so ....

Re: Ibanez vs Fender: Two morons at war!

Well I play Strats and since I'm the Most Knowledgable Rocker Online(tm) that means they are far superior.

Other winners of similar debates:
Mountain Dew beats Vault
Domino's beats Pizza Hut
Family Guy beats American Dad

Ibanez are more metal guitars, fender can do just about anything. Fender is definitely supreme over Ibanez.

Fords are better than Chevrolets!


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Ibanez vs Fender: Two morons at war!

Fender Acoustasonic Strat.

thats an acoustic guitar so it obviously doesnt count in the 'solid body guitar electronics discussion'


slightly_rude: thanks for the links. good to know fender DOES ACTUALLY make guitars with piezo bridge saddles BUT the point of my post still stands: judging a company because it doesnt offer a specific type of pickup is RIDICULOUS.


that telecaster is pretty sweet though. to bad there arent american made versions

Re: Ibanez vs Fender: Two morons at war!

Phew..I don't know. I think you can't compare them. I mean..it's like you'd compare a Fender, let's say to an...Ibanez. :firedevil :butkick: :9:

I didn't vote btw.
