What I mean is that these guitars are opposite all other Guitar VST's, or most others,
The body of guitar is on right and neck on left, where others have body on left and neck on right.

Maybe adding an option to reverse it for those who prefer it the other way?

what do you you guys think?

I have seen ONE guitar VI where the body is on the left. Which makes no sense to me at all unless I'm a left-handed player. If you're holding a guitar as a right-handed player, the neck is on your left side and the body is on your right side. How could it make more sense to look at a guitar in the opposite layout in a VI??

OK, it prob. makes sense to have body on right,

I think Ample Sound have it right - to a right-handed guitarist it's the most natural position.
However, there is a good argument for being able to reverse the aspect for left-handers.

Yes the Orange Tree Samples one is the one I was referring to as the one I've seen (and own) with body on the left. If you go look at some older threads in the Orange Tree subforum here, you'll see complaints/concerns that are the opposite of your original post

It's also worth mentioning that Orange Tree is updating all their guitar VI's to their new engine, which has the body on the right. See here where they've already updated their electric. http://www.orangetreesamples.com/evolut ... strawberry

They have not yet updated the acoustic but it's in their queue.

If the producer is a guitarist (play guitar by himself), the GUI would be neck on left.
If not, the GUI would be neck on right - he just look that a guitarist play guitar
