Er, um ... you ask for "organic" and "Heavy Guitar" in the same breath?

Electric guitars don't grow on trees .... YET.  


For what I would call "organic" sounds, there's Ed Mann's World
Expedition ROM.  For plucked instruments, he even tried to make
simulating the pick's up strokes and down strokes easier.  (So he
mentioned once in an email to me.  I was basically writing to ask if
he was THE Ed Mann who played with Zappa.  He was.)
