Guitar comparison in a blind test

Here’s an intriguing take on very high-end guitars from JMG Del Ray in a blind test. His evaluation is surprisingly off, which underscores just how subjective sound perception can be, and how it often takes a back seat to the “feel” of the instrument. The video is dubbed entirely in Russian, but fortunately, the closed captions work well.

Thanks for posting, that was quite interesting and funny at times.

FWIW I found his comments easy to relate to my first impressions of the recorded sound of the guitars, especially on the first three, before my attention started to wander.
