An acoustic guitar is one of a member of the guitar family, it differs from an electronic guitar that uses an electronic amplification system, so, in the real world, an acoustic doesn't rely on electronic amplification.

If you don't want to go over the hassle of learning to play a guitar, tunning, adding effects, and setting up a good studio recording room, then you can opt-in for a virtual acoustic guitar that has been designed to work close to a professional guitar.

Before I recommend you to some of the best virtual acoustic guitars, here are some reasons you should use one…

• You don't have access to a professional acoustic guitar
• Want to quickly lay down a track without the hassle of setting up a studio recording session, finding the perfect angle, and tuning a guitar.
• You have a guitar but want to use it as MIDI-Controlled guitar for electronic manipulation.

That said, let us look at the best virtual acoustic guitar VST instrument plugin in the music production scene.

Starting with…

There are many Guitar VST Plugins, most of them are not free and cost up to $200 (some of them are actually worth the money), but luckily there are some FREE options out there that are quite impressive as well. But this DSK Acoustic Guitar plugin surprised me quite a bit, mainly because it's an acoustic guitar emulator. This free plugin can emulate the sound of an acoustic guitar. It stands out from most other VST plugins because many times, they can't come close in comparison to a real acoustic guitar. However, this plugin delivers a fantastic sound with the option to add additional effects.

1.) Virtual Guitar Amber ($129.00)

First on our list is Virtual Guitarist Amber by Ujam. Amber features a vastly expanded realism guitar library, easy to use, intuitive, and built for musicians of all levels.

It is designed to produce a realistic great acoustic guitar sounds without distracting you from the complexity of setting up a real guitar.

The way Amber works is using patterns and styles, You press a key on the keyboard or a piano-roll, and then Amber play strum chords in designated phrases combined into styles & determined by the notes you play.
