There is no such thing as a sampled guitar that ever sounds real. Anyone who thinks otherwise shall be proven a fool time and time again. You can't do guitar with samples. You can't do violin either, or sax, or trumpet, but we won't get into an argument about those.
We'll talk about guitar...and bass.
Forget samples. I mean seriously, forget it.
Mokafix Audio is working on something that will likely blow the socks of everything out there to date.
I wouldn't invest in ANY guitar sampler/rompler. It wouldn't be worth the waste of time or money which it would no doubt prove to be so in the end when you realise you can't do realistic expressive gestures by trying to stitching samples (which can be often inconsistent across the range of the instrument's note range) together.
Sorry, physical modeling is the only solution to this problem.
Maybe Samplemodeling could be working on something guitar-wise. But I think physical modeling is better because 1/ it uses negligible RAM and 2/ allows you to change the tone/tuning/characteristics of the strings completely painlessly and effectively.
