Gibson LP Studio or Fender American Deluxe FMT Stratocaster HSS?

[King Knall]

I'm thinking of buying one of these two guitars. But in the likely event that I don't like any one of them, which one of the two would be more valuable?

personally i hate almost all gibson ecspecially les pauls... so my vote is for the fender

[sniperfrommars1]

i would suggest a used standard for the price your willing to pay.

Don't buy either? There are so many good guitars out there, get one you like!

[sniperfrommars1]

the les paul will retain its value a little better but it will probably cost you more as well

Fender !

The LP will be more valuable. But they are very different guitars and both great guitars. You really can't go wrong either way. And if you buy used you should be able to get what you paid either one should you sell it.

Oh I didn't see the "Studio" part. The Fender might be worth more then. Personaly I would grab a USA Strat over a LP studio any day.

Fender all the way!

If you get a Fender, get a 50th anniversary strat. They should become collectables someday!
