Spitfire LABS Electric Guitars

Quick heads-up on LABS Electric Guitars: Spitfire Audio was acquired by Splice in 2025, and as of October that year, the entire LABS library moved into Splice INSTRUMENT, a new free plugin built jointly by Splice and the Spitfire team. New downloads of LABS content, including Electric Guitars, now happen through Splice INSTRUMENT with a free Splice account. Existing LABS installs continue to work well into 2026, so if you already have this one on disk, nothing changes.

This one covers everything from dark rock tones to bluesy cleans, 80s sustains with plenty of chorus, and indie strums. The samples were captured by session guitarists Leo Wyatt, Dino Pollano, and Keith Theodosiou. Dynamic plucks, sustained notes, and strumming rhythms are all represented, and each preset has a unique character rather than being a generic “electric guitar” tone. That’s why I still use LABS libraries in my projects, including this one.

Another thing I keep coming back to is how easy the interface makes it to jump in and play. You can simply load a preset, move the single central knob (usually mapped to reverb or tone), and you have a usable part within seconds. For background layers, mood-setting lead lines, or scratch electric tracks during songwriting, this is an amazing freebie.
