Multi-samples of a Yamaha Eterna classical guitar, recorded through a CAD E100 microphone, is what you get with PlastikGuitar by Audiolatry. The tone is deliberately a bit cheap and not perfectly in tune, giving the plugin an organic feel that works really well for lo-fi and experimental tracks. There are five velocity layers per note and two presets: Finger-Plucked for standard playing and Harmonics for string harmonics at different frets.
Honestly, it’s not expressive enough for detailed guitar work. Five velocity layers per note only gets you so far. But for arpeggios, simple guitar melodies, and layered textures, it does the job. I used it as a layer in an arrangement with a toy xylophone, and the slightly out-of-tune character was exactly what the track needed. PlastikGuitar is available as a VST3 plugin for Windows and a VST3/AU plugin for macOS. It’s not AAX-compatible, so Pro Tools users are out of luck.
