Hi guys,
i've been wandering for quite a while which one i should buy.Both seems pretty good option,i would really like some nice sustain and crispier sound-some say the gibson axe is a bit muddy but i am not so sure.
Anyone who probably has one of these(or both) and could give me some input about those two would be greatly appreciated.

What you've been hearing about the Thunderbird agrees with my own experience. They can be pretty muddy, although they look somewhat cool. If you want sustain and a crisp sound, I'd go for the Fender; they're versatile, reliable, and very flexible. Additionally, on an aesthetic level, I'd say that while the Thunderbird is kind of cool looking, the Fender is classy, and fits in anywhere.

I was always of the school of thought that how a guitar looks is number one priority. How it sounds is
way down the list

at the begginig i was from the same school as you
Mark, now it's changed
Well if you're for sound
damagedone, then go for sound. Gibsons are a bit more muddy, dirty in sound. if you want crispy and coold (cold) sound go for Fender Telecaster.
but first go and test guitars in store. (that's obvious advice.)

absolutely seconded! You gotta try yourself how it feels and how it sounds ... and also for the weight ...

thanx for the tips,guys.Yeah,i really like that shark shape of the Gibson buut as mentioned before i better try'em both as soon as the damn overtime on the current project ends.I also consider Schacter-never heard of these before but they seem to be quite well made.Recently playing with an old and beaten Hohner i would really like an upgrade.In case someone is really bored you can listen to a kind of demo since haven't had time to finish it.
