I don't know of a freebie. There are acoustic simulations within Guitar Rig2 and the POD XT (I know that is not a VST).
They don't sound like an acoustic guitar at all. I don't think you'll get the sound you want without actually have an acoustic.

I do know from places I've seen that Guitar Rig2 has some presets that make it sound like an acoustic. But does it actually make it SOUND like an acoustic? Probably not. I would guess that it's more like an electric piano trying to sound like a real one. You won't get it exactly without using a real one.
The acoustics involved make it impossible to get exact results. But it depends on how realistic you need.

Thanks guys. I have two acoustics but there's waaaaay too much noise in this room to mic them. I'll probably just purchase an acoustic mic.

they have pick-ups that require no installation...they have foam inside where they "grip" the soundhole...snaps in very easy and you can switch it between guitars quite easily...markdeaton wrote:Thanks guys.

The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

Have you considered trying acoustic pickups? Or is that the kind of mic you are talking about? A bit different then an actual mic, but the same idea.

You'd get closer to the sound of an acoustic by using a sampler, I imagine, than using an electric. I think Boss (or one of the main pedal companies0 makes a pedal to simulate the sound of a more expensive guitar if you plug-in by acoustic pick-up. I wonder how decent that is. Sort of like a POD for the acoustic?koolkeys wrote:I do know from places I've seen that Guitar Rig2 has some presets that make it sound like an acoustic.

I'm not sure, as I haven't tried any of that. I'm no guitar expert, and actually have just gotten my first electric guitar(thanks grymmjack! 
). But I do know that I have tried using samples and never got the same results. It can be convincing, yes. But it really depends on how realistic you need it to be.
It's like I said with the piano example. I've been a piano player for 17 years. I do use piano samples, because my apartment neighbors would kill me if I played a real piano all day(although I DO have one). But the samples can never compare to the real thing. Acoustics are important to the piano, as well as guitar. Overtones and harmonics are harder to emulate. And while software has tried, it will never catch all the little nuances involved with acoustic instruments.
But that being said, the majority of listeners would never come close to knowing the difference.
Again, I don't know if any of that stuff works well. But it's always worth a try if it saves you money!
