and make your guess !
The guitars object of the test (of course not in that order) are :
Adamas
Ibanez
Maton
Martin
Then check your score :

The quality of the sound is some what questionable and I do not know if the guitars have the same strings gauge/milage but pretty sure not. Tomorrow I will disclose the model and the price of each guitar....
Enjoy ..... ;) |

Location: Tuscany, Italy | Yes it's very funny and interesting and you understand how much we are influenced by the catching of our eyes. In a certain extent when you see the guitar your brain immediately recognize "that" sound. We should evaluate the guitar without seeing them and let our hears decide what the sound suit them more.
The test appears on accordo.it and many scored that the sound they like is of the Adamas .... by thinking it's not....... nice |

Location: New Jersey, USA | I also got them all correct. Martin and Adamas have the most signature sounds. Ibanez sounded the cheapest. The Maton was surmised through process of elimination.
This all said, to my ears the Martin won the competition. |

Location: Tuscany, Italy | I know, I know.... I am partisan, but to my ears there was no competition. The Adamas sound is way too large, clear, defined, open .... and so on, then the other guitars.
Some of the comments I read on the italian site after the test was publised was of the kind "oh noo I voted for the Ovation"...."why I did not recognize that sound ? (that I like)".
Of course it's the same old story with Ovation and typical of people that have a preconceived mentality; they like the O'sound but never admited it.
The Ibanez, for 90 euro can compete, but hey, ....90 euro..... ;) |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | I thought 3 was kinda nice on the first blind listen... (The Maton?)
Not having a real good ear, I liked both 3 & 4...
The once I switched to the Soluzione my prejudices kicked right in.
But number 3 does sound nice. |

| I didn't bother about guessing them but picked the one I liked and that turned out to be the D-18 although I didn't like it so much it was strummed heavily. |
