Hmm...sooo - it's not bad. It's definitely usable and it sounds ok. I mean you can tell it's not a guitar but maybe if you play it right you could almost pretend. I would love to see an official attempt though. I mean if you can get so close with a simple layer, just imagine what could be done with a dedicated guitarteq instrument? Still - judging by the activity of this thread, people don't seem to be very interested...oh well...
Glad you like it! I did play guitar when I was young and so kept an interest.
The 'bebung' effect in the clavichord also helps to simulate the stretching of strings and I even once used the mallet bounce to simulate some fixed strumming.
The difficulty with instruments played mostly with the hands is all the extraneous noises the interaction makes that are impossible to add with Pianoteq. This was a concern already for the harp, and it could be the same (or worse) for a modeled guitar. By comparison, the mechanical noises in keyboard instruments are more fixed and can be better managed.
