There is a convincing guitar (reasonably convincing to my ears,
anyway). One version of it is in the Csound examples directory
CsoundAC.csd orchestra, "modeled guitar by Jeff Livingston", but the
original (http://users.ece.utexas.edu/~jlivings/html/guitproj.html)
is probably better to start with, I'm not sure the one in CsoundAC.csd
is still working properly.

Hope this helps,
Mike

I believe that the original poster was referring
to 'soundfonts', which are organized sets of
sound samples that are normally intended
to facilitate the synthesis of an instrumental
performance.

Hi,

These are two interesting pages:

http://www2.siba.fi/soundingscore/guitar.html
http://www.ee.columbia.edu/~ronw/dsp/

Getting the sound is not that hard, what is hard is
gettingarticulation right, and being able to express the articulation
in a simple but effective way in computer terms.

Cheers,
Andrés

of course, you should do what interests you, but why not just find a
guitarist? yes, it is more involved than installing software, but
working with living breathing musicians instead of computers can be an
advantage too ...

or maybe you are making electronic music that is evocative of a guitar ...

i would encourage you to write the music for the instruments you hear
it for instead of using surrogates. or, to put it another way, if you
are writing music for a computer, why should you pretend it's a
guitar?

best of luck!
