I hear you, I have long fingers and playing a Gibson is like trying to fit a bunch of commuters onto an overcrowed train. No room, no room!!!

I'm an SG fan myself, my webpage explains why:

People are puzzled why I don't dig the Stones, well, I listened to the Stones, I tried, and I tried, and I tried, and--I Can't Get No Satisfaction!

I've always drooled over the Nashville Tele! I'm completely a Fender guy too...a little harder to play but more character, IMAO. Plus, my fat fingers don't fit in those tiny Gibson frets too well...

My Strat has been with me for years of abuse, and now has two Texas Specials (mid and neck) and a red Lace in the bridge. Raw, raw, raw sound...in the out-of-phase position it has more twang than any Rickenbacker or Gretsch!

I ended up getting my Reverend Rocco because it has the same feel as a Fender semi-hollow but with a couple of beefy humbuckers just in case I want 'em. It's got a coil tap, so I do lose some of the tone of both settings, but they still sound better than most stock pickups.

I'm a Fender man myself. Particularly Telecasters. This Nashville model is my weapon of choice. I'd love to hear from people about what they think about the differences/preferences between Fender and Gibson guitars.
