gringopig's guitar quiz: can you ID the guitars?
I have a suspicion that, when it comes to guitars, we listen with our eyes and not our ears so much.
I always thought it odd that as soon as someone picks up a Fender offset for example, suddenly they are playing all the rinky dinky surfing tunes and when a Les Paul is played it's invariably some 'searing' southern rockâ„¢.
The thing is, you could play jazz on an Explorer, hard rock with a Byrdland (and yes, it's been done) and country with a Jazzmaster (and again, done). It isn't a given that one guitar must play one type of music and nothing else...
So I have stripped it all down. We have 8 guitars. We have one amplifier - a Fender Twin Reverb set to 5 on input 1 of the vibrato channel, a cable and 2 microphones. Each guitar is played without any change to settings and with all volumes and tones set to maximum. A touch of reverb from the amp but no processing or compression was added.
I play one section of chords and go through the pickups from neck to bridge in order for all 8 instruments and then do the same again for a single line phrase. The mathematically inclined will note some anomalies as a head start. There is a random slideshow of all of the guitars too but don't be fooled; it was randomly generated by the encoding program!
Guitars used were:
1. Gibson ES 335
2. Fender Jazzmaster
3. Gibson Les Paul
4. Gretsch
5. SC Relics T-Style
6. Gibson Les Paul Junior
7. Fender Stratocaster
8. Fender Jaguar
The sound samples run from A to H. Match them up with the numbers above as for example:
1 is D etc
Let's see if can rise to the challenge. Answers below in the comments section please!

I'll have to make a cheat sheet up as you will see it's pretty tricky I think.
