Blindfold Guitar Test Options

[liveOASISforever]

Captain and Rob Chapman do a ESP eclipse challenge

In the video below Rob is blindfolded and plays four different Eclipse model guitars. He knows the model of guitars he is playing but doesn't know the value of them.So the challenge is to put the order of guitars from the cheapest to the most expensive purely on feel.

Spoiler:

As you probably already knew that he never got them in thew correct order

My question is do you think that visibly being able to see the guitar can cloud your true judgement on the feel of the guitar.

Imagine being blindfolded yourself in a guitar shop and having ten completely random guitars placed in your hand to play ranging from £300 to £1500.Then you picked one on the senses of feeling and sound.You remove your blindfold and it was a £300 Fender Squier. You then get to see what other guitars you played and see some really nice LOOKING guitars that you would like to try them out again.Knowing how much you love the look of them does sight cloud the judgment of feeling and sound and make you think it plays better than your first time round.

They say when You remove one sense your other senses work better
