I'm going with #2 for the RIck.

The other 2 seem to have the octave strings hitting first.

I was thinking the reverse order, as #3 seemed so bright I figured it for the digital sound of the Line 6.

I deny getting older as long as I can blame it on my speakers. :lol:

I thought number 3 had the octave strings below. :oops:

Number 1 I got right. :)
All I wanna do is rock!

8) what do I win?

The first one sounded really 'digital' to me, which I notice quite clearly at bends and slides. It doesn't cope well with it.
It's the first time I actually hear a variax guitar, and I'm really impressed. In a live situation you can get away with it for sure.

The one thing I learned from this is how to spel "doofus". :shock:

And that I can't tell a Fender from a RIC. :wink:
Great little quiz and nice playing.
