One guitar to rule them all? Easy: Fender Telecaster.

That's a good point actually. Fender are much more sustainable in battle with their replaceable parts. 

But rumour has it Hector favoured Gibsons....

but would you want to be hit over the head by a heavy LP Custom - Gibson have the advantage in any reconnaissance as they have the best Explorers

Fender are quicker on Mustangs.
They also have Jaguars for attack
Their weapons are better for their Precision

A Telecaster would do more damage.  A lot of the force from the blow from the Gibson would be lost when the headstock snapped off.

To hit you over the head, it also has to be possible for the weapon to be lifted above head height and swung.

Plus, those Fender 34" scale basses would have a much better reach for thwacking all those short-scale Gibson troops before the telecaster boys came in and mauled the sg-toting crew

Imagine the damage an Explorer or V could do though...... Could take out multiple enemies before the headstock goes.

Plus....Gary Moore.....

Vee has very little weight where it counts - and it would be difficult to wield. That headstock would be a nightmare to grip hold of as well.

Don't forget - Fender can hurl amps as heavy artillery - Gibson get the odd Lifton case to chuck, but really.....

RMJ

Oh yeah amps....

And Joe Bonamassa.

"Late in the war, Fender chose to deploy the unimaginable. They did the unthinkable.

In a dawn raid on the Nashville Plant, Fender unleashed their super weapon.. codename Tallboy"

OK, let's straighten this one up.

Gibson's are OK apart from:

You should never trust a guitar that you can't lay on the floor without it resting on its headstock.

When you restring it the bridge falls off, and the bridge thumb screws seem to turn by themselves too losing position.

The ergonomics are pretty naff - LP, SG, 335, V, Explorer, Firebird, none of them are resolved here.

The string splays at the headstock.

Which doesn't matter that much because the headstock falls off.

They are largely only available in colours suitable for antique furniture or kitchens from the 1970's.

On a positive:

They do sound pretty good, well the ones that aren't too muddy anyway.

They do smell good almost without exception.

Gibson have Victory and Thunderbird
Fender have a bunch of relic's - so an old and knackered army

I fail to see how your evidence proves they will do well at stoving in someones cranium though

Fender for me. But to be honest, in all my years of playing guitars and basses, I can't actually recall ever playing a Gibson. I've played Epiphones but I don't think they count.

valid point at the end - and with Henry in charge who knows what disasters would follow - And who would follow Henry into battle

A fender makes you sound like you. A Gibson covers up the fact you’re not a great player
