Just look at the thread I linked to.
The guitars with pickups in random order:
1953/57 Les Paul conversion .......... PAF's
1964 ES-345.................................PAT's
1964 Firebird I...............................FB p/u
1957 ES-350TD.............................PAF's
1974 Flying V................................Dr. Vintage
1959 ES 330TDN............................P-90's
1963 SG Standard..........................PAT's
The clip:

All of these apparently totally different guitars and nobody could tell in a blind listening test which one was which.
Try for yourself, it's fun. Since PAFs sound so distinct and superior, it ought to at least be easy to nail those.
I understand that some people find this fascinating.
I don't.
However, I do enjoy different guitars at my gigs, where I can compare them in a way that matters to me .... when I am playing.
You're welcome to come to our gigs and listen to the tonal differences, from PAFs, to Duncans, to Custombuckers, to P-90s, to ????. :salude
