Hi Robert,
I’ll be getting Tuff to give you some advice. I don’t think he’ll know much about VST plugins for guitar but the ‘analog’ stuff he’ll know well. On the ‘viral’ video he does talk about his guitar model and the strings and pick ups he uses. That video is on the ‘guitar one shots’ page.
As for guitar VST’s I use Orangetree samples Evolution Hollow Body Blues guitar and the Evolution Stratosphere. They’re very good in my opinion….although I have not compared them to others.
Keep on skankin!
Matt
