Holes in the Sound Collection

I have just about finished going through my collection of Kontakt instruments and adding them to Komplet Kontrol. It’s been a useful stocktake and a reminder of how much stuff I have accumulated.
 
I just have a few holes I would really like to fill.
 
A deeply sampled Semi Acoustic Guitar with a strum engine by someone like Orange Tree or Ilya Eftimov. Lyrical Distortion’s Wicked sounds ok but does not have many features.
 
A deeply sampled 12 Acoustic and Electric Guitars with strum engine by someone like Orange Tree or Ilya Eftimov. Indiginus’ 12 string guitars are fine but it would be nice to have one by OTS or IE. Music Labs Rick is a fine VSTi but I like OTS and IE’s products better.
 
An Irish Bouzouki with picking and strumming. I have one library that uses phrases but that is not specifically what I am after. Bolder sounds old Mandola instruments in the “American Folk Instruments Collection” get part way there, in fact they are very good but lack scripting etc. Impact Soundworks’ Bouzouki is the round backed Greek style, its good but not the exact flatback tone I would like.

    For your hollow-body electric, check out Impact Soundworks' Archtop.

    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    and Orange Tree's Acoustic, I'm pretty happy with my acoustic guitar coverage. I also have Ilya Efimov's acoustic because I like the strum pattern generator. It's great for a strummed guitar when you don't need anything too detailed.

    I have OTS Steel strings and the new Nylon, the Ilya Eftimov Acoustic and Nylon and most of the Indiginus stuff, so i am pretty well covered except a detailed 12-string.
     
    I think the Indiginus 12 string variation are actually doubled samples rather than a 12 string guitar and the strum engine is more limited than OTS or IE.
