Can you make a Strat or Tele sound like a Gibson? If not, if I am looking to be able to produce a larger variety of sound would a Gibson SG or Les Paul paired up with a Strat give me more options than a Strat and a Tele?
I'm asking because there is probably going to be a limit to my G.A.S...lol...wife induced. I doubt that I will end up with 5 or 6 guitars, at least not anytime soon. Also, I bought the American Fender because I knew I would be keeping it long term and could justify spending the extra $300 or so over a MIM both for future value and current quality. Is it the same between Epis and Gibsons?

Personally, I would buy a Gibson (but then again, I'm a Gibson guy). I've had a similar thought of buying a Fender to balance the two Gibsons I've got (SG and Les Paul). My SG plays like a dream, but the Les Paul's tone is incredible.
One thing I have found is that I don't really like cheap guitars. It may sound snobbish, but it always seems that you get what you pay for.
Bottom line, I would go play a bunch of guitars and see what "speaks" to you. You might find something you like that you never expected.
