The Plucked Instruments from the Vienna Symphonic Library is a sample-based virtual instrument that combines the Upright Bass, Concert Guitar, and Overdrive libraries to create a comprehensive set of samples and articulations. The Upright Bass features recordings of a plucked bass with jazz articulations, while the Concert Guitar offers the sounds of a hand-made classical guitar with nylon strings. The Overdrive collection features the distorted tube sound recordings of a legendary Steve Vai signature seven-string guitar.
