Listen to the demos you will be impressed. I use his Evolution Electric Guitar, and the acoustic steel has been on my wishlist for a while now. He's also got a really cool flute lib out now. Greg Schlaepfer's Orange Tree Samples is a highly regarded library developer, who sells electric, acoustic and bass guitar libraries. There are also lots of great free and cheap drums and percussion. Here's a free zither, a Finnish instrument called a kantele, that I have used in place of acoustic guitar. There are many low-priced and free libraries out there once you have Kontakt - check out SampleTekk (which has frequent half-price sales), Indiginus (grab all the $5 specials), Hollow Sun (vintage synths and weird stuff) and Lyrical Distortion (varying quality but cheap guitars). It will actually save you money in the long run if you're at all serious about using sampled instruments. I am actually not a fan of Native Instruments the company, yet I encourage everyone to make the investment in the full Kontakt product.

This is true of sample libraries in general, but especially so for the guitar because it is such an extraordinarily expressive instrument. The best simulations are the ones that best exploit the potential of Kontakt's scripting language. Without that, you just have boring, unconvincing samples. The best simulations are based on Kontakt, because Kontakt provides the scripting that allows for variation and expressive articulation.
