  • Recommendations for a good clean e-guitar library?

I know Platinum comes with Strum Session (which sounds like a synth without any distortion), so I would like to know your thoughts for clean e-guitar libraries. Only two requirements:
  1. Under $100.
  2. Suitable for a non-guitarist. (ie. not something like Vir2's Electri6ity)
I don't need a library for something like a lead, but for being in the background. So, it doesn't need to be the most realistic library, but it shouldn't sound like a synth, either.

But that isn't an e-guitar; is it?

Specifically for basic acoustic rhythm guitar tracks? My go-to for that is Acoustic Guitar Collection from Indiginus. Forty bucks, fifty if you add the Remix add-on (recommended). 17 guitars, including double-tracked (my favorite is the double-tracked 12-string). I don't use the strum sequencer myself, preferring to play everything on the keyboard, but the strum engine seems simple to use and supports user-definable chords.

Indiginus is definitely on my shortlist. But, then again I'm not really after acoustic guitars. I'm more after clean e-guitars. But nice suggestion, though. I'll keep an eye on it.

Did you have a listen to the Gibson Les Paul Gold Top programs in Dimension Pro?  Run it through TH3 Clean for a nice amp sound.

The Gibson Gold Top Expansion Pack derives its programs from 50 samples of individual notes, played through the neck pickup of a ’57 re-issue Les Paul Gold Top guitar. In addition to capturing the guitar’s rich neck pickup tone, additional programs take advantage of Dimension Pro’s processing options to go beyond guitar.
 
The Basic Neck and the Jazz Guitar sound clean to me.  There are other preset sounds in that list that have been processed, but those particular two sound like good clean samples.  With Dimension, since the multisamples are all there, you could always use those samples to create a program more to your liking ...

This isn't electric either, but it's free, and if you get along with it, they have Gibson 335 or telecaster for $95 with the christmas sale.

When you say e-guitar, are you looking for clean electric guitar tones?
If so, I think all these libraries come with a variety of tones (clean, distorted etc...).

Thanks for the heads up on that. I just recently got Platinum, but I completely forgot about Dimension Pro. I'll check on it as soon as I can.

Thanks. Ample-sound are on my shortlist, as well. I'll have to check the free ones to gauge how they work, though. Are they difficult to play for the non-guitarist?
