Bluezplayer, not knowing what your preferences are, here are some sampled guitars that may be interesting:

Jazz guitars http://www.bardstownaudio.com http://www.spectrasonics.net/hzguitar2.html http://vsl.co.at/english/pages/profile/news/product_news.htm http://www.vintaudio.com/ http://vrsound.com/ http://www.yellowtools.de/index2_e.htm http://www.zero-g.co.uk/index.cfm?articleid=1 http://www.quparts.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.cgi http://www.bigfishaudio.com/4DCGI/index.html http://www.biggagiggas.com/

Plus many more. You could look on the Tascam and Northern Sound sites as well. They handle a number of sound developers' products. I believe Steinberg has a guitar VST synth. In all of this you can usually find a guitar that will do the job for you. The same is true for any other acoustic or electronic instrument. It should be noted that the keyboard manufacturers buy samples from these sound developers and cut the sample size to suite there needs.

Also, as noted previously there are very good guitar effects out there, e.g., Amplitube (http://www.amplitube.com/). You can send midi messages to control distortion, overdrive, etc. Some of these samples have these effects built in and you can keyswitch them.

I hope this helps.
